Lyrics

Yo
I realized all I needed was some time to adjust
On the road to riches spent a lot time on the bus
I lost everything I had in a matter of months
Now all that shit I cared about don't really matter too much
I look at my fam and see the time that I lost
—All these years away I'm calculating the cost
Like what was it worth to miss my family evolve?
All this chaos I survived got me searching for calm
—And I don't really know where to start
I just hope me and my brothers don't start growing apart
Hope my sis don't meet a man and forget bout the fam
Hope my momma don't forget how to dance
(Damn)
All this trauma I survived really changed the perspective
Tryna find love I started playing detective
Somewhere we lost the love and I searched for a sign
Couldn't see that we was on a decline
And I think I finally found myself
Had to die just to get in my zone
All those nights that we spent on the phone
Who'd have thought that I'd be better alone?
And I think I finally found myself
Had to die just to get in my zone
All those nights that we spent on the phone
Who'd have thought that I'd be better alone
I been taking way too many L's I got a long list
All these lies that I survived kept me honest
Grew up insufficient so it's hard to feel accomplished
Made it out the rubble I'm still climbing out the mosh pit
I seen people falling out over the wrong shit
Sad to see 'cause I know that life ain't long lived
Learned my lessons but they taught me not to force it
Life's a battle I been contemplating forfeit
And lately I been feeling like I'm dying inside
Too much shit I gotta handle I been trying to hide
Seeking guidance can't be honest so I'm stuck in a loop
Feel like I'm only living 'cause it's something to do
I forgave but it didn't change the pain I felt
I turned the other cheek it made me hate myself
I turned the other cheek and I still felt pain
Sunny skies but I still feel rain
Tried to fix shit with my dad but he's the same man
50 plus no job what's the gameplan
34 as a father yet he still fails
When everybody finally jumps ship I hope it still sails
Is it loneliness if you keep pushing people away?
I know it's phoniness when I can't tell the real from the fake
I made room for love to grow but now I'm filled up with hate
Shit is real man you gotta relate
