Lyrics

He was just another **** livin' on the sunny side
He was a lil' **** livin' on the sunny side
Only eleven, but he got a heavy apetite
He was learnin' how to use his heart at 12 years of life
Found out at 13 his closest **** switchin' sides
14, she ain't want him 'cuz his crooked smile
15, another shorty cheated, let him down
16, a fight for love, he went another round
At 17 he had to question if they'll hold him down
At 18, really thought he really found a real thing
Shit was cool, then she started havin' mood swings
She went to college then he noticed that her mood changed
Cheated on him, broke his heart
That shit taught him new pain
He knew he loved her so he had to make it through the summer
He never ran away from love, he's an overcomer
Chest open from the scars, then he met another
His heart turned cold so he started working undercover
He was 19, sippin' dirty Hi-C's
"Pass the Sprite, please"
Vision bloody, visine
He want a drink, he ain't even got a ID
They did him wrong so its hard to do the right thing
He had a good one, when she left he knew that it was too late
Suffered depression he's the person that he started to hate
He was never raised like this,
His morals dearly departed
He didn't have a peace of mind, he was going insane
When he was 20, 21 he started lackin' again
Got caught up, yeah he knew that it was the end
Depression turned him for the worst, so he tried to go end it
He felt cold and alone, nobody would listen
He was livin' on his own in a world full of sin
At least his shorty came around, let him try it again
He was usually a loner, she was his only friend
He did right by her, then she left him again
Did him the worst way
Right before his birthday
Three years in, guess it don't mean anything
Started to hate love, he like fuck a wedding ring
Gas and the Hennessy helped him on a day to day
He's 22, he put his heart and sould inside his lyrics
Emotion blockin' his logic, he hopin someone hear it
And he been prayin' a lot, he needs to heal his spirit
He showed his scars to the world, hopin they would feel him
He knows that faith's in he genes, true to his religion
But it's hard to use when you feel the way that he's been feelin'
He was blinded, pray to God for a better vision
Fill the void, I think something's missin'
A **** hustle on a daily, they can't play me
Brand new shorty said she love me, she wanna date me
Said she wanna rock with me like a **** Jay-Z
She like "I know you don't want love, will you try it maybe?"
She's in love with my scars, 'cuz she got the same thing
Shorty treat me like a king, she might need a name change
My ex hit my phone now our love is out of range
Imma hit decline, moving on to better things
