Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Yo, I was sixteen, thought I was the man 'cause I was rappin'

Always partyin' and drinkin', never thinkin' what could happen

I remember when I went and hit the studio

I was nervous, me and Snak writin' verses, I'm thinkin' who to know

I felt I almost had somethin' to prove

So I was actin' hella stupid after chuggin' some booze

Really thought I was the man, lookin' up to the crew

But all my homies thinkin', "Merk, what the fuck's up with you?"

Now we finished all the writin' and it was time to recall

I didn't know what I was doin' when I opened the door into that booth

Yeah, I got it, but it took me a while

And when I heard the finished product, I just looked with a smile

So we finished up the session and I was on my way home

All my friends knew about it, so they blew up my phone

Have me stressin', askin' questions like

"Yo, how'd it go?"

I knew that when I hit the party I just put on a show

[Verse 2]

Yo, it's funny how your whole life could change in a day

That's the way that things go when you're makin' a name

Turnin' nothin' into somethin', I'm just pavin' my way

Pass that motherfuckin' mic, or I might take it away

Yo, it's funny how your whole life could change in a day

That's the way that things go when you're makin' a name

Turnin' nothin' into somethin', I'm just pavin' my way

Pass that motherfuckin' mic, or I might take it away

[Verse 3]

So I went and got my shit, then we met up with some friends

And I showed them all the track, from the start until the end

So excited, I decided it was time to celebrate

I went and bought a bottle, but we showed up kinda late

And the spot that we were at was filled with older dudes

I got drunk and stayed quiet and chilled, I know the rules

Then it got late, homie said it was time for us to go

We couldn't get a ride and started walkin' in the snow

It was me and my girl, my buddy and his chick

It was New Years night, we were chuggin' that twix quick

Couple other homies with us, we were on our way home

But a car almost hit us drivin' right off the road

I'm yellin', "Slow down"

But he didn't like the sound of that

Pulled over, got out of this car like he was down to scrap

What a tough guy tryna pick a fight with us

Even took a swing, except he missed, because the guy was drunk

[Verse 4]

Yo, it's funny how your whole life could change in a day

People love talkin' shit, let them say what they say

Just be you, all that bullshit ain't gonna stay

Learn to be the better person, what are they gonna say?

Yo, it's funny how your whole life could change in a day

People love talkin' shit, let them say what they say

Just be you, all that bullshit ain't gonna stay

Learn to be the better person, what are they gonna say?

[Verse 5]

As he jumps into his ride, he said he'll be back to find us

That was when two cars just pulled out behind us

The doors open and some dudes jumped out

Mad song with machete swingin' two arms out

So I'm runnin', tryna get away, but in a state of shock

I was screamin' for my life, I just wanna make 'em stop

Got knocked out with a bat, they were takin' me out

Then I remember a buddy put a switch blade in my mouth

We were only a kilometer away from my house

I'm thinkin' I'm about to die, I was facin' a doubt

Stop breathin', I was bleedin', couldn't make any calls

And then I see a big machete headin' straight to my skull

Took one across the cheek, took one across the forehead

Crazy I'm a breath away from layin' on the floor dead

My homie, Jordan, was nuts, he wasn't havin' it

Swingin' at these suckas relentless, while they were stabbin' him

They grabbed the girls and tried to drag them in the car

But they were screamin' so loud, they didn't make it very far

Then I blacked out, laid around, and woke up in a hospital

Surrounded by my family and friends, like who's responsible?

So confused, I couldn't answer any questions

But since then I stuck to the music, so it's a blessin'

If that didn't happen who knows where I'd be

Probably dead or in jail, so here's a thank you, from me

[Verse 6]

Yo, and the crazy part is in that song I did with Snak that day

He says in his verse, in my neighborhood, you could get shot or stabbed

Bein' in the wrong place at the wrong time

Just a couple hours after leavin' the studio that shit really happened to me

That fucks with me till this day, man

Live every day like it's your last, count your blessings

You only got one life to live, right?

Don't fuck that up
