Ugh, I can't believe it

As I'm on this train, going through this city
I'm kinda feelin mad cuz it's late and by now I should be knee deep in titties,
But plane came late tbh, not a stud not witty, so I missed it in a jiffy,
All I got is a trait that our coaches batter in, be a man and be nitty gritty,
It ain't that litty, peeps beat you down while you smile non-chippy,
To another onlooker, all they're feeling is the shame and the pity and the pity and the pity,
Pity times 3 so you get what I mean when I say a young hitter felt shitty,
Trip was really ass, summer way fast, really had no time to chilly,
Real friends fake, fam takes, and I'm left like a birthday child with no cake
No candles, manhandled by life and the punks who put your happiness at stake,
And they let it break, you too, shit, you alone, send a smile and they take,
Off to another land while you stay in shit's creek, forced to crawl in the city,
They tell you buckle up, you smile back and you think, well damn, nitty gritty,
They tell you buckle up, you smile back and you think, well damn, nitty gritty,

Strap up, no time for the bitties,
Nitty gritty (X3)
Wrap up, it's time to get jiggy,
Nitty gritty (X3)
No time for a nigga to feel mini
Nitty gritty (X3)
If you mad, hold your hand, sing the jitty
Nitty gritty (X2)

Nitty gritty (X5)
(X4)

2nd verse, shit still hurts,
Don't know how I could take worse
Like a mystic voodoo curse,
They stick in pins to make life worse,
Can't complain, that's selfish talk,
Those niggas can't walk that walk,
Get hurt when you tell em straight, apologize, back to hard knocks,
Niggas shocked you start(ed) to rock,
Jack Black, guitar cocked,
Jammin out to crazy vibes, disaster hits, no time for shock,
You work out, Photoshop,
You ball out, what a jock,
Like a bird, they start to mock,
Cuz finches get to flex a lot,
Atticus still a fock,
He was no hero doc,
The man's a racist, next book tells it all, and that's the plot,
Everything you like is shitty,
Read deeper, maybe y'all feel me,
If not, it's okay, I'll take it in smile and go nitty gritty
