Guess I don't believe this life is all there is
If it was would I want gold and cars and watches at the crib?
Would I waste my time here working while I could be with my friends?
Would I never stop to cherish it before I meet my end?
If you're still you then you're winning
If you're acting then you're not
Are you happy with your life?
Don't mean to put you on the spot
Always seen the good in people even when they're not
So I choose not to finish them even when I have the drop
Had our backs against the wall so many times that I lost count
Cut the water and the lights off lucky they ain't kick us out
Growing up to see my mom I had to travel to her town
But I love you mama really I'm just thankful you're around
I was like 13 sleeping on the couch with my brother we were down bad
Lucky that i had them two swear they taught me that we're never going out sad
Funny how the fights went away I remember as a youngin I was so mad
From handmedowns to headaches gave me everything I had
I'll admit that it feels like I lost control just being honest
But I'm happier than ever so I guess I'm making progress
I forgive but won't forget I know I'm free but I'm not lawless
I couldn't let them take my optimism when they robbed us
I want to give you me I try so hard to speak my truth
Feels like the only time I let myself is in the booth
Sometimes I just stare into the mirror in my room
Hoping I see parts of me reflecting back as you
After all I have two brothers to extend the family tree
So if I end up alone with no one else that's fine with me
I'll be glad to settle down if she as weird lame as me
But for that to work she has to see the world the same as me
I've been working way too hard I cannot wait for y'all to hear this
I'm better every day I haven't dropped no music near this
Lift the culture up I'm sending love to all my dearest
Off the rails I promise this the year I'm living fearless
