Man, it's crazy what it seems
I'm battling this ego that gets between my dreams
Not an addict, I am not a fiend
My life slowed down the first time I took lean
Shit, I'm just overly tired
My body wants sleep, but my mind won't retire
They just keep egging me on shit I know I could do better
Just smile even whenever I'm under the weather
I'm a kid with a story, not a kid from the streets
If I said I grew up money, then I would call myself a cheat
Thank God for my grandma, who kept us on our feet
She was the one to pick me up when I was beneath myself
Yes, I do need help, emotionally, I am not there
Yet, these hoes who keep talking shit like I would not care
Well, f*ck them, they don't know me
Yet, these the same haters that do what they can to bash your dreams
When I fall, you down, you down
You've picked me off the ground
You've seen me at my low
And I don't know if I'm ready to go
When I fall, you down, you down
You've picked me off the ground
You've seen me at my low
And I don't know if I'm ready to go
They try to push me down, but I get right up
But they don't understand, what is tough love
I look myself in the mirror, whatever have I become
What are you trying to prove? Just give up
Believe me, my whole life, they told me that
My friends, they doubted me
My family, what are you trying to be
My teachers, they mocked me
At night, I can't sleep
Nightmares instead of a dream
Im tired of falling
Backwards, backwards, backward
That's the route I go
Yeah, I just need one chance
And I will never fold
Thank you for a voice, but feelings so confused
What makes them better than you
When I fall, you down, you down
You've picked me off the ground
You've seen me at my low
And I don't know if I'm ready to go
When I fall, you down, you down
You've picked me off the ground
You've seen me at my low
And I don't know if I'm ready to go
