I done only had my dad till the age of sixteen

Tried to be the man without knowing what it means

And I think because I look just like my mom, we bumpin' heads

Even thru the darkest times, we tried our best.

But the pressure only grew, tried dropping out of school, tried selling me some weed, till the plug thought we gave him fake money.

Feeling pressed walking round with a knife on me. I was too much of a bitch, I knew this life ain't me.

I made mistakes.

Tried to look for validation with some fake friends. If I'd meet em at this age I wouldn't shake hands. When my daddy passed away, they didn't say shit, now I know I'm the topic of conversation.

Thick skin to protect from this cold world. I was stubborn never listened to my old girl. Always fighting cuz our family matters toxic. But I'd go there every night cuz I was toxic.

People thought I was crazy but it was passion. Struggled with chasing ambition with every distraction. Me being tempremental was just a reaction. Caught up in my goals while I was falling into madness.

I know I ain't got the answers,

Even though I try call for em.

All alone while I'm dancing.

With my dreams 'till I fall for em.

Through the pain I keep trying.

Just a couple more steps nd I'm flying

It is all that I know.

(With my head up in the sky, ain't nothing gon' touch me now)

It is all that I know

(Nothing's taken for granted, what goes up will one day go down)

It is all that I know

(I be going through the highest highs and the lowest lows)

It is all that I know

(One day at a time, untill it all aligns)

It is all that I know.

(With my head up in the sky, ain't nothing gon' touch me now)

It is all that I know

It is all that I know

(One day at a time, untill it all aligns)

Whenever I get stuck up in my own mind.

With nothing left to prove, and I don't know what to do.

I try to look at how I grew from my old life,

Where I was so confused, hiding tears up in my room,

but I always kept pushing with my hopes high.

I know that the rain soon's gonna pass through, and we all get some sunshine.

So used to feeling blue, homie it ain't nothing new that I fight the hardest battles from the frontline!

This for all the teachers saying I'll amount to nothing.

See em live the same life while I done blossomed.

Shit I still make some mistakes but now I love it.

Cuz every L I take a lesson on dysfunction.

Now I grew allergic to all their assumptions.

Cuz they never knew where I went through when I was nothing.

Used to think where I went thru was so disgusting, but every hateful feeling that I had turned into loving.

Can't let the shade block the light that I'm emitting.

Can't let the numb touch the energy I'm feeling.

Can't have no doubt scaring me from my decisions.

Can't have a nobody talking down up on my limits.

Nobody's perfect, and nobody is the same.

And if it feels like nothing is going my way.

I'll keep doing my best cuz

It is all that I know.
