Into the night, I see nothin' but stars fallin') Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, woah (Into the night, I see nothin' but stars
Into the night, I see nothin' but stars fallin') Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, woah (Into the night, I see nothin' but stars

(Vitals on the track)

These are my confessions
I was lost at one point, now I'm tryna find my way back home
Yeah, these are my confessions
Hear the pain in my voice, if you feel this, go ahead, sing along
Yeah, these are my confessions
I was lost at one point, now I'm tryna find my way back home
Yeah, these are my confessions
Hear the pain in my voice, if you feel this, go ahead, sing along

Always under pressure
I was racin' against time, I barely kept up
In middle school, was in shelters, no sweater
Oldest son, yeah, this youngin, he had to step up
Had to step up, listen
Safe to say I grew up too quick
Became a man at four years old, uh, yeah, that's true shit
Had to learn to force wins, couldn't afford to lose shit
Come to think of it, that's probably why my crew split
Almost got expelled from school
'Cause I'm black, how the fuck is that breakin' rules?
I'm smart, but some are takin' me for a fool, uh
Bright future, can't afford to be a tool
No, I can't afford to lose, nah
It's sad when you gotta wonder if ya people got your back
Broke a leg, heart attack, fell off track, still stood tall
For my loved ones, you know I'm aimin' for it all, facts

These are my confessions
I was lost at one point, now I'm tryna find my way back home
Yeah, these are my confessions
Hear the pain in my voice, if you feel this, go ahead, sing along
Yeah, these are my confessions
I was lost at one point, now I'm tryna find my way back home
Yeah, these are my confessions
Hear the pain in my voice, if you feel this, go ahead, sing along

Yeah, Section 8, welfare, food stamps, you name it
Stealin' snacks from stores, my hunger swayed me to take it
If lyin' was in my name, you couldn't pay me to say it
Scarred from my past, Mufasa couldn't pay me to fake it, uh
Really made somethin' from nothin', just bein' honest
Honin' my skills all while bein' modest
I'm tryna get away from all the darkness, uh, 'cause anxiety, it kills
Won't derail, I will prevail, heart of gold, mind of steel
I know all my bars you'll feel 'cause I'm givin' you that real
Support your artist friends, it's all free
Like supportin' who don't care if you eat, that's the tea, haha, yeah
Girls would say that that's the tea, huh, check it
Climbin' to the top, I'm shootin' from the top of the key
I'm a deadeye, ain't no stoppin' that three, uh
Rookie of the Year and MVP
Tryna go from rags to riches bein' me, but first

These are my confessions
I was lost at one point, now I'm tryna find my way back home
Yeah, these are my confessions
Hear the pain in my voice, if you feel this, go ahead, sing along
Yeah, these are my confessions
I was lost at one point, now I'm tryna find my way back home
Yeah, these are my confessions
Hear the pain in my voice, if you feel this, go ahead, sing along

Uh, gone (Yeah)
