Life

I look back on life, remember those nights
They could've took my life, things ain't going right
Had to struggle and fight, tryna keep on them lights
Had to see my mother cry, knowing things ain't right
Her and my pops would fight, tryna drink all night
Tryna escape the pain, he had inside
Living in foster homes, this can't be right
Dealing with all this pain

Tell me what you know about pain
I ain't talking bout the anime
Growing up in a city where niggas dying every fucking day
They got handguns and AK's
They killed a girl in a alley way
I'm just tryna find a better way
Going up is the way
Making music just to get away
You could call it a great escape
But the pain never goes away
Yeah a nigga had to move away
A lot of niggas started turning fake
I look at life and it's going great
My circle small and i'm feeling great
Only keeping niggas that relate
I'm in the moment so i can't wait
Why the fuck would you hesitate
Look at myself in the mirror like
Young nigga don't break
The exterior is ugly
My interior is lovely
And now these bitches wanna fuck me
If I was you I wouldn't trust me

I look back on life, remember those nights
They could've took my life, things ain't going right
Had to struggle and fight, tryna keep on them lights
Had to see my mother cry, knowing things ain't right
Her and my pops would fight, tryna drink all night
Tryna escape the pain, he had inside
Living in foster homes, this can't be right
Dealing with all this pain

All this pain
Wanted to take my life
Dealing with all this pain
Wanted to take my life

Start to think that i'm lucky
Just to make it here gets ugly
My ex bitch says fuck me
Cause she see me shining, its lovely
The broke boy from the beach
Is no longer in reach
All they wanna do is leech
In the shadows where they creep
But i'm the one with the light
I turn it on and they screech
I bet they wish they never doubted me
A lot of negatives surrounding me
Back in high school they clowning me
I'm at the top now they crowning me
My name flowing through the city
And now they wanna ride with me
But they don't even see the pain
I'm taking shots to the kidneys
Waking up to the simply's
After dreaming bout the Bentley's
My palms itching but they empty
Should I hit a lick, don't tempt me
But that's what they want me to do
So i can end up on the news

I look back on life, remember those nights
They could've took my life, things ain't going right
Had to struggle and fight, tryna keep on them lights
Had to see my mother cry, knowing things ain't right
Her and my pops would fight, tryna drink all night
Tryna escape the pain, he had inside
Living in foster homes, this can't be right
Dealing with all this pain
