I shouldn't have to die for me to finally get my roses

Shouldn't have to cry for us to finally get our closure

You be here one day the next it could it be over

Talkin to them angels and them demons on my shoulder

Cuz I know deserve more, I know I deserve better

I know that I'm still growing and don't got my shit together

I know that I'm impulsive, I been sayin shit wherever

And I know I'm supposed to keep my head up in this rainy weather

Know I'm supposed to be a better man to my woman

Know that she supposed to see me one day as her husband

Know I'm supposed to work but also gotta keep on hustling

Know it's cool to cry but all the time I keep on fronting

Know that it's okay to lose at least I'm doin something

Know that people pick and choose so I ain't trustin nothing

Know I'm supposed to be more and I'm disgusted

Know that deep down inside I hate who I'm becoming

But I keep my head up high and my chest poked out

And my tree by my side boy let's gets smoked out

Know I'm speaking from the heart I don't need no clout

Do I believe it gets better yes indeed no doubt

Keep my head up high and my chest poked out

And my tree by my side boy let's gets smoked out

Know I'm speaking from the heart I don't need no clout

Do I believe it gets better yes indeed no doubt

Shouldn't have to suffer just to get me where I'm goin

Shouldn't be afraid just to show a little emotion

Shouldn't be afraid to take a picture and then post it

Shouldn't have to take the blame for something that we both did

Gotta learn to stand on what you say and that's a fact

Cuz once you sayin something you can't ever take it back

It should be okay for us to get another chance

Cuz it's hard bein a man but even harder when you black

Pay Attention

Spoken like **** wit experience

No I'm not the strongest but the people take me serious

I'll tell you the truth right now if you curious

But i can't make a promise that you not gon get furious

Just Take a quick second and look at your reflection

Life should be a blessing instead of teaching me lessons

Stopped askin for forgiveness and started askin them questions

If life is just a marathon you better get your steps in lil ****

But i keep my head up high and my chest poked out

And my tree by my side boy let's gets smoked out

Know I'm speaking from my heart i don't need no clout

Do i believe it gets better yes indeed no doubt

Keep my head up high and my chest poked out

And my tree by my side boy let's gets smoked out

Know I'm speaking from the heart I don't need no clout

Do I believe it gets better yes indeed no doubt

As a man you gotta acknowledge the things that you need to change in your life to be a better version of yourself

Everybody can't do it for you

Change comes from within

But keep your head up and your chest out ****

If that back ain't erect you don't get no respect
