Lyrics
Trouble found me way back when
Back in elementary tryna get a license for a pen
Had mind set on other shit like "does life come after death?"
In and out of the principals office "He's wilin' out again"
Seen mama cry again
And daddy sayin' "man, this wasn't part of the plan"
Better get yo act together, or we finna move again"
Better tidy up your self you gone struggle as a man
I ain't know better back then
Used to think that we was T-Pain, when we was singing into fans
Now we actually got fans
And to all of y'all, I'm sorry when I get stuck in my head
And I fall back from everything cause everything just got me scared
But if you fail try again
And if you sin, just repent
We all make mistakes in life but those mistakes ain't the end
I turned 19, I thought I had figure it out
The kid moved out of home and realised life be different now
Then I turned 20, they actually kinda listen now
21, he was ghost, they vibin' to the sound
22, he took a chance for a better route
He thought he could get somewhere with rappin',
Guess that was word of mouth
Now I'm 23 and I'm understanding the mission now
They gon judge you by the figure
Whether it's the digits that you make or the size top that you can fit in
That's just the world we live in
That's why we chase escapes, could be drugs or religion
We all tryna find our place and our role in this system
Can't have a kid just yet, there's enough babies raised by children
But when I do, best believe that they gon be livin'
If it's a boy then I'm gon discipline that nigga
Watch him learn the ropes of life so he can teach it to his sister
I think I'm changing everyday
Battles with my demons, imma put them in their place
Changing like the seasons, feel the wind up on my face
I think I've found my reasons, man it's like a saving grace
Yeah, I leave with out a trace, I wonder if anyone gon miss me
Always think when I leave the room, these people start to diss me
I wonder if imma be alone when I just turn to fifty
I wonder if I'll have grandchildren when turn to sixty but
I guess I'll never know until I make it there
I guess I'll never know man, I just really wanna make it there
And when I make it there, I'll be breathing in the air
And I'll be lookin' at my children, living life with out a care but
But for now man, I'm just living in the moment
And mama says she miss me but I'll be back in a moment
I love her and she know it but sometimes I can not show it
Yeah, she raised me all my life and I just hope that I don't blow it
I'm in a rut and I just really need to break it out
I think too much but I just really need to break it down
So let me break it down, I wont play around
And I think people keep on screaming but don't ever really make a sound
I'm going pound for pound, battles with my mind and heart
I start to wonder about my friends and how we drift apart
I always found that light shines better when you in the dark
I always found that failures better when you make a start
Just find a purpose, I promise you it's worth it
I know that life gets deep but you can always find the surface
And make it through the fire, you can burn inside and furnace
And do what you desire, even though it won't be perfect but
But I'm not cold anymore
And I don't understand why you keep closing that door
And I don't wanna see all your clothes on the floor
Cause I don't wanna write about my troubles anymore, why
