Middle Ground (feat. Jonny Vulgar)

Yea

Come on

All these highs and lows I’m trying to find a middle ground

I guess that’s just how it goes when you the middle child

Used to be in survival mode I’m finally living now

Riding through the city late night

A/C blowing with my windows down

Found happiness and it ain’t cause I’m pushing Benz’s now

Grateful for the friends around that I could say, remember when?

We was on the block selling rock doing two for tens

I done grown a lot they hardly recognize me

Who is this?

I done lived so many lives in this one life time

I done chopped dimes

I done been there on the front line

Running from the one time

I even done done time

That ain’t where I started let me rewind

Started of a hooper decent player amazing shooter

When I got to eighth grade I fell in love with the music

Music pushed me to the streets

Streets made me catch a case

Judge Hinton I forever owe you cause you gave me grace

Turned my life around in LA out in college now

All my homies ended up dead or they locked them down

Graduated in four years made my mama proud

Can’t too many people tell you that on my side of town

Then I got survivors guilt it was hard to smile

Hard to heal trauma from the past going through trauma now

One minute I’m up the next minute I’m down

Life is great but it get wild

Trying to find a middle ground

All these highs and lows I’m trying to find a middle ground

I guess that’s just how it goes when you the middle child

Used to be in survival mode I’m finally living now

Riding through the city late night

A/C blowing with my windows down

Found happiness and it ain’t cause I’m pushing Benz’s now

Grateful for the friends around that I could say, remember when?

We was on the block selling rock doing two for tens

I done grown a lot they hardly recognize me

Who is this?

The vulgar one I’m truly blessed

The problem child who the solution is

Politicking in this music biz

Like dancing with the devil in her newest dress

Feet work God like

Philly shell crucifix

Lucifer’s illusiveness is nothing to a pugilist

Gotta keep ya guard up for the intrusiveness

Gotta keep ya heart up no matter who it is

Middle child by middle school

I was out of it

Quick temper loud and direct

Jonny was mama’s kid

Kicked out did the night shift wasn’t proud of it

Told me I wouldn’t amount to nothing

I never doubted it

Least I was smart enough to know I wasn’t a college kid

My brother Bobby Steward

Dro doing what custom motto did

Diamond in the rough

Cut it, cleaned it, polished it

I made it

Ma’s favorite

God did this

All these highs and lows I’m trying to find a middle ground

I guess that’s just how it goes when you the middle child

Used to be in survival mode I’m finally living now

Riding through the city late night

A/C blowing with my windows down

Found happiness and it ain’t cause I’m pushing Benz’s now

Grateful for the friends around that I could say

Remember when?

We was on the block selling rock doing two for tens

I done grown a lot they hardly recognize me

Who is this?

Shawne Pressley (Moms):

You are somebody

You are worthy

You are smart

You are talented

You gifted

You who you are

Life go on

Like you are somebody

You’re doing the work to put in for yourself

You being a better person

You gotta believe in yourself and know

You are absolutely worthy and you are somebody by yourself
