What It's Like |
| I know what it’s like to feel so hopeless |
| But you gotta keep going man |
| Just stay focused, just stay focused, yeah, just stay focused |
| Focus on the good shit, forget about the past |
| Focus on what you got, not the things you never had |
| Cus it ain’t that bad, as the world keeps spinning |
| Either you dyin' or you livin' |
| Ever since i can remember they said i couldn’t do it |
| Tatts all over told them my future was ruined |
| But i told them «get to know me first yeah, I’m still human» |
| Grandpa asked me «what the hell you think you doing?» |
| I told him «i'm making music, you should take a listen |
| I know i ain’t the best but i ain’t talking about no bitches |
| I’m talkin' about no cars or cooking crack in moms kitchen |
| I’m talkin' about life and everything that’s in my vision» |
| Man i swear I’m so thankful for the things i was given |
| Speak on what i learned, hoping i can make a difference |
| Speak to my boy that keeps going back to prison |
| At the end of the day you gotta pay for your decisions |
| I swear man i miss him, never get the chance to visit |
| Ask what my goal is, it’s just to keep living, just keep living |
| Yeah, it’s just to keep living, just to keep. |
| I know what it’s like to feel so hopeless |
| But you gotta keep going man |
| Just stay focused, just stay focused, yeah, just stay focused |
| Focus on the good shit, forget about the past |
| Focus on what you got, not the things you never had |
| Cus it ain’t that bad, as the world keeps spinning |
| Either you dyin' or you livin' |
| Even when it’s all bad, i still keep my head up |
| It’ll go away, i promise, life will get better |
| And i hate to see my boy walking around with a Beretta |
| Gotta watch his back he said our police don’t protect us |
| He ain’t’t got a girl cus he thinks he gon' get set up |
| All that’s on his mind is makin' that chedda |
| And i said that’s cool, but what you gonna do when you get it? |
| Your gonna buy some weed |
| Your gonna put it in the bank and get interest |
| Listen, just think of yo' future |
| If you got that money, don’t think these cats will hesitate to shoot you |
| Look, all I’m saying is be cool bro |
| Never heard from him again, i hope he’s cool tho |
| I’m doing things i never thought of |
| Came a long way from sleeping in my niggas honda |
| Ask me for a quarter, i’ll probably give you a dollar |
| More you do good, less chance of meeting karma |
| I try to stay away from drama, cus everywhere i go now |
| Been so many places, but it’s nothing like my hometown |
| Heard some people hate us here, they don’t even know us |
| Yeah I’m still a kid but these niggas need to grow up |
| And to tell you the truth, I’m the only person i can think of that’s |
| Buying kids from the hood, cheese burgers and sodas |
| I just wanna make a change, man i swear |
| The money and the fame ain’t why I’m here, i been working so hard |
| Y’all should be glad for me, instead of everyone turnin' they back on me |
| But it’s alright, yeah it’s alright |
| I know what it’s like to feel so hopeless |
| But you gotta keep going man |
| Just stay focused, just stay focused, yeah, just stay focused |
| Focus on the good shit, forget about the past |
| Focus on what you got, not the things you never had |
| Cus it ain’t that bad, as the world keeps spinning |
| Either you dyin' or you livin' |
