Lyrics
Verse one's for the gun that's held on my head
Burst one for the son that's kept me from dead
Third one on the run that's stepped on the edge
Let me tell y'all a story 'bout this little man
So many things that he don't understand
No one to hold his hand
Grew up without a plan
All alone in the streets
Stood up on his feet
Not knowin' where to go
Come and hear this flow
See, I grew up all alone
With the parents not at home
No one there to tell me what to do
How to live
What to give
Learned everything seein' how the others do
Observed the wrong things that got me in trouble
Soldier down to ride, see I was up there on the double
Thoughts on the rise, no one could burst my bubble
Really thought I had it all
Day and night, had a ball
'Til I ran into a cop
Had my wrist on the lock
Cannabis in my pocket
What is this?
Didn't stock it
Partner came off clean, took a look into his eyes
And from there on
I've come to realize that I...
I can't go on with my life this way
Something's gotta change
Forget about the bling
That take hold of our brain
Forget about the things
That don't even matter
Focus on the things
That won't leave you shattered
Growin' older, Now I see that
Something's gotta change
Forget about the bling
That take hold of our brain
Forget about the things
That don't even matter
Focus on the things
That won't leave you shattered
Verse two's for the pain of the failed relationships
First view of the rain and a tale of temptation grip
Curse you for the strain and the nail to frustration's tip
Let me tell y'all a story 'bout this little man
Spent his days of High School callin' for her hand
Never knowin' that his love would leave him for another man
That's the story of the one that I call my father
He threw away everything all because he loved her
Never knowin' she's the one to break out in laughter
After all the things that she put him through
She had the nerve to come back to her baby boo
Tellin' him "This time it's true that I will be with you"
Poor little man never understood the story
Sure, they had a child, that's how you came to know me
17 years later, I'm followin' his steps
Followin' this girl tryna get into her world
Someone please help me open up my eyes
I can't seem to realize that I...
Can't go on with my life this way
Something's gotta change
Forget about the bling
That take hold of our brain
Forget about the things
That don't even matter
Focus on the things
That won't leave you shattered
Growin' older, Now I see that
Something's gotta change
Forget about the bling
That take hold of our brain
Forget about the things
That don't even matter
Focus on the things
That won't leave you shattered
Verse three's for the memories of all the good times
Thirsty for the melodies of all the hood rhymez
Worthy for the heavenly and all the good signs
Let me tell y'all a story 'bout this little man
Had all potential to fit all the credentials
He could ball with the best of 'em
Stand tall with the rest of 'em
Mistakes in the past
Didn't know I would last
Here I am standin' here right in front of you
Some straight doubted
That I would never be about it
Now I'm livin' my life like I know I should
Straight up living good with the words up on my mind
Once upon a time when I couldn't even rhyme
See, I promised myself that I would never stay down
Promised me a life that would never stand ground
Cuz the world that we live in can't be safe with the sinnin'
Gotta move to a place that I never been in
And live in the place I never thought I would see
Maybe take a look see at how I lived my life
Sit Back
Relax
Be glad
That I
Opened up my eyes
And realized
That I...
Can't go on with my life this way
Something's gotta change
Forget about the bling
That take hold of our brain
Forget about the things
That don't even matter
Focus on the things
That won't leave you shattered
Growin' older, Now I see that
Something
