Lyrics
Everybody got a checkered past
We all thrown up in the fire with no second chance
Know a girl no longer welcome 'round her family
So she forced to live a life that'll never last
And by the way that she walked in
You would've never felt the conflict
Never thought that she was battling her problems
Never thought that she was never going home
Cause she couldn't hold true to her promises
She gettin' reckless
Searching for a better day when the rent hits
Can't reach out to anybody, feeling helpless
Daddy always told her feelings never meant shit
So by the way that she speaks now
You never gonna know what's deep down
Never notice that her future looking bleak now
Never know when she long gone and you stay up
Wondering why you never reached out
I know my issues ain't that bad
If I got a feeling, no, I gotta mask that
My ambition got me looking like a madman
Bury trauma with the thoughts of the past, man
And by the way, when I walk in
You better watch how you talkin'
Cause when I make you eat your words
They gon' be rotten
Gonna strive till the day I'm in a coffin
Just to make sure that my message ain't forgotten
But if I do get buried in the depths of time
Let the truth I'm sharing with these bits of rhyme
Give a deeper look at what's inside my mind
Cause when you never see me talking
I'm still hurtin' but I bottle up with caution
Cause in my head I don't think I got an option
Frankly I'm just mentally exhausted
Often thinking bout what's waiting at the bottom
And then I flip it in reverse
I be judgin' my character by the writtens on the verse
And I'm giving in to my deepest fears
Worried that I'll never reach the level of my peers
But that's not true
Ask me who I wanna be, I say not you
In my mind there is nothing I cannot do
Always say I'm slept on, I don't got proof
My other side's the only person that I talk to
