be gentle (feat. Gr8Skawt)
I'm getting used to the taste of bad news on my lips
But the flowers are so pretty
I'm getting used to the problems that I can't fix
So I just make myself so busy
Though it seems hard now
Though it seems hard now
Wide awake, treading through water
So I don't drown
Though it seems hard now
Be gentle
Be gentle
It can only get better
But you gotta put the work in
It can only get better
With time
I know together
We can, we can
It's all growing pains
You running like Usain when the homies know you ain't
Boy it's fate
Stay in for the night, it's late
Sleep a little longer, don't that sound great
Workin through the day just to make another dollar
Workin through the night tryna make my momma prouder
Never thought I'd grow up
The future makes ya throw up
Tryna get my flow up
Young boy keep ya head up
Not eating but I'm fed up with myself
Not worth it if you don't take care of your health
All the ice upon your neck is still gon melt
Don't start trapping with the cards that you've been dealt
The world's a hard place, but that doesn't mean you have to be
Keep on moving forward and the future will greet you happily
Every day got hands bob and weave like your M Ali
Just a little time and you'll be who you're meant to be
Be gentle
Be gentle
With yourself
Be gentle
But the flowers are so pretty
I'm getting used to the problems that I can't fix
So I just make myself so busy
Though it seems hard now
Though it seems hard now
Wide awake, treading through water
So I don't drown
Though it seems hard now
Be gentle
Be gentle
It can only get better
But you gotta put the work in
It can only get better
With time
I know together
We can, we can
It's all growing pains
You running like Usain when the homies know you ain't
Boy it's fate
Stay in for the night, it's late
Sleep a little longer, don't that sound great
Workin through the day just to make another dollar
Workin through the night tryna make my momma prouder
Never thought I'd grow up
The future makes ya throw up
Tryna get my flow up
Young boy keep ya head up
Not eating but I'm fed up with myself
Not worth it if you don't take care of your health
All the ice upon your neck is still gon melt
Don't start trapping with the cards that you've been dealt
The world's a hard place, but that doesn't mean you have to be
Keep on moving forward and the future will greet you happily
Every day got hands bob and weave like your M Ali
Just a little time and you'll be who you're meant to be
Be gentle
Be gentle
With yourself
Be gentle
