Cole Trip - December 11th Lyrics

Yeah
I was just 18 years old when I almost lost my life
Everything that I worked for I almost lost my right
I went to bed that night not knowing I'd wake up 3 months later
But my angels always on the clock and, huh, she doesn't play waiter
But it's crazy looking back I'm starting to realize I was lucky
Yeah the accident kinda sucked and that part was unlucky
But it was just a blessing is disguise, I had to just go and untuck it
Cause I was starting to become ungrateful for the life I was living
I had to lose a lot of my life just to see that I was trippin'
I couldn't imagine looking down at the life that I left
All the family, all the friends, and the love that I left
Makes me realize how important it is and now I value each day
Especially when it ain't going the way you want, there's no other way
Ya know but to stay positive and focuses keeping your eye on the prize
Cause depression can hit hard making you feel dead inside
So use this as your anthem, hear my side of the story
Cause y'all have been getting fed some bullshit that wasn't my side of the story
I know it seems like a lot going on with no end close in sight
But that's just how change is made when you push past and fight
But inside I felt alone like "why didn't I die?"
And when I looked up and prayed he said it wasn't my time
That's what keeps me going everyday when I'm reminded
That the battle I won was a war and the fight I had to find it
And then the bills started to come in, I tried to hide behind em' all
Cause those contracts were bullshit so I red-lined em' all
Damn, we're just getting started too
Ya know but we're going to keep on fighting not giving up anytime soon
Cause quitting can come in easy but I'm not giving her any room
Cause I made it this far and I
Put out the flames and I
Made it this far so I'm
Not ashamed
When you're going through something this hard you can't really describe how you feel
Cause escaping death is crazy and unlevels the playing field
So every time you wake up and kinda feel like you're defeated
Use my life as a story and read how I beat it, yeah
It never gets easier but uh, it always gets better
Phase 2 comes in and you start to feel a little bit better
But the memories never subside like a personal letter
Ya know written by life, overnighted to you
The harsh part of reality is that pain comes in too
But look I've moved on and I'm on the next chapter
And since I went first y'all better come after
So I guess what I'm saying with everything that I went through is
Make sure to look deep inside and make sure that y'all get through
Close the book, move on, damn
