Paroles

Looking back at my older days, younger ways
Days where we don't have to pay bills and collections
Reflecting on simple moments
Family did their hardest celebrating important moments
Opening presents were a bonus
Now, I'm in a tough spot barely making rent
Don't have food stored yet
Wondering where our money's spent
Doubling down on saving cents, making no sense
Why we thinking we progressed but why am I here stressing
My little sister have a baby worth stressing
Though my niece is a blessing
I pray her tears will cry no more
It's part of life I'm guessing, huh
That's why I'm speaking through music
For those who don't have patience to do this
I'm new to this
It's training day, Denzel Washington, I'm lost again
Writing exercise can't jeopardize my dreams on whatever lies ahead
If I ever die, remember me for what I said
My people survived genocide
To my surprise, I'm fortunate for my parents
I didn't inherit no big stacks, no six-pack
Just a drive to do better
Obey the warning signs and we ride it together
I see my future kid arise through the pressure
Which means my name needs to last forever
I can never measure what my dad passed down
Love and hate
Which means I want you to do great, just you wait
No tip, just a form of gratitude
Gotta change my attitude, I gotta prove
I cannot presume as I go
Let's resume, watch my show
I don't know where my life will go
Paycheck to paycheck, pay debts to make less
Used to put myself out more, now I say less
That's around the same time I began to pray less
Displayed stress often, made moves with caution
Crazy to think when I purchased things that costed an arm and a leg
Stay positive, so much in a year can change
Believe in your passion, never thought I would be rapping
I'm not just yapping to make a statement
I'm working at a high level
Not one of those dudes getting high with the devil
I don't need no medal or recognition to play my position
Even if it means I'm a benchwarmer
I see it as God protecting me
Saving me for another time, another phase
Another day will come by through the rain
So much pain doesn't always sustain
Comes the sunshine and soon my son and daughter will arise in due time
Right now is my time, don't give up the path you want
Life sucks, but don't let death swallow you up
Filled with regrets
Take the gamble, make the bet
If it folds, time to reset
I respect your choices
What's important is your sanity
Man, it would be crazy when no one checks your mental health
You ask for help
Therapists just ask for money
Momma didn't raise no dummy
Sunny days will come
Hope one day I make enough to be done
Retire on top after working nonstop
Pray for those who work 'til their hearts drop
Providing for their families and meals
So tired, but still able to push through
Motivation for me and you
Reflection
