Repercussions

Mama said this smoke gon kill me one day
God gave you life and you taking it away
Mama said go out and be productive today
Make your bed and Jay cut it with the games
Mama said it's hard to talk to me sometimes
Are you sure you're alright? Tell me what on your mind
Swear I'm not depressed yet I'm showing all the signs
I'd rather burry it inside and tell you I'm doing fine
Mama said I should start thinking bout my life
Go and get a job that's gonna suit you right
Mama said this addiction it runs in my blood
And if you don't kick it soon in the long run you'll be fucked
You're my son I promise it's all out of love
I did too good raising you for it to be for none
You're twenty-one, what you do now shapes what you'll become
Don't build yourself an obstacle you can't overcome

And she right and I know it and I fight and I blow it off
But I see the shit growing alongside what's going wrong
Don't look at me disgusted, I know we discussed it
Know the repercussions, I'm trying but it's hard
I trust it'll get better, might just take some time
Have faith in me, I promise I'll get it right
If there's a will there's a way, if there's a way imma find it
And we gon be okay, mama I promise

Mama said this smoke gon kill me one day
God gave you life and you taking it away
Mama said go out and be productive today
Find a way to clear your head in better ways
My girl say she wanna marry me one day
We could live a good life but you taking yours away
My girl say she might not love me with fame
Does it seem like I would wanna live that way
I'm like I don't know, I think you might find it okay
Even though I know how money and power is gon bring change
And I really believe like I was born to take the reigns
Girl I'm moving way too fast to not be in the race
My girl say I drive her crazy sometimes
And I could see it too so I know she ain't lying
Say I'll quit the bullshit and it seems like I ain't trying
Cause most of the time I'm getting high-and
Starting fights over dumb shit or making fucked up assumptions
That always end up mounting up to nothing
Meanwhile I'm writing rhymes in my room with the shades down
She disappointed feeling like I ain't the same now, yeah

And she right and I know it and I fight and I blow it off
But I see the shit growing alongside what's going wrong
Don't look at me disgusted, I know we discussed it
Know the repercussions, I'm trying but it's hard
I trust it'll get better, might just take some time
Have faith in me, I promise I'll get it right
If there's a will there's a way, if there's a way imma find it
And we gon be okay, baby I promise

My girl say she wanna marry me one day
Could live a good life but you taking yours away
My girl say she might not love me with fame
Hope if I blow up she still gon stay
Mama said this smoke gon kill me one day
God gave you life and you taking it away
We all know you gon be something great
Just gotta get out your own way
