Memory Lane

I've been trying to breathe underwater

I don't know, but I really just be cutting beats all the time, just going with the flow

However I feel, then that's just the way it is

J. Angel on the track

That's the art that was made, you feel me

I just cut the beat all the time

Cause it doesn't mean so much

I got a new lighter today, so yeah, that's what it was

I just knew when I was younger I would grow up to be rich

I knew I was different when I didn't wanna play with other kids

My cousin Robert used to say that I'd be a comedian

In the fourth grade was the day I finally meet a pen

We was writing songs, we spent some nights alone

That's cause my mama had to work, make sure them lights was on

We used to get in trouble, but we knew right from wrong

It wasn't perfect, but them hard times just made me strong

I got dreams, I got goals, I'ma never give them up

I'm just reminiscing days with some drink in my cup

Just know you close to your destination when roads getting rough

Always appreciate the ones that supported and stayed in touch

Head on straight, my foot on gas, ain't lettin' nothin' stop me

I'm that one lil' rose that popped up, grew up out the concrete

It took a little time, but it was worth it, I had to find me

All through trials and tribulations, I won't let define me

Chest up, chin out, brush that dust

Shot my head and I still got it up

Pussy ass **** try to scrape me up

Doctors didn't even have to wake me up

God put me to the side, had to straighten me up

It's all about smartest , you ain't gotta be tough

Had to heal from so much stuff, I could talk for days

Sometimes it's just too much

Had to learn to walk again, therapy was therapeutic

Purp bought me the laptop, I didn't know that I made music

Fast forward a few months, I was right back home

Made a few plays, how I got on

Took some L's and bounced back

Fast forward ten years, now I'm making this song

Prove myself tell'em let me cook, **** shake my hand, they still be shook

Aughta make a documentary about my life, even heavy risk them chances took

Go full speed, fuck what it was

Go for the cake, didnt look for love

Trouble having people understand my problems

Only do it here cause the mic won't judge me

Made it look good when the shit got ugly

Get a little money they buddy, buddy

The grass ain't greener on the other side, is it

When you got back, your shoes was muddy

Daily affirmations and I mean it when I say em

Got in my bag and me and my bros, we came up with a plan

I got dreams, I got goals, I'ma never give them up

I'm just reminiscing days with some drink in my cup

Just know you close to your destination when roads getting rough

Always appreciate the ones that supported and stayed in touch

Head on straight, my foot on gas, ain't lettin' nothin' stop me

I'm that one lil' rose that popped up, grew up out the concrete

It took a little time, but it was worth it, I had to find me

Off to trials and tribulations, I won't let define me
