Now and Then
Uh
I said once upon a time it was a youngin who was stuck in the dirt
He had a dream but never put in the work
Plus he fighting through depression ain't no question he goin smile when it hurts
Looking for himself now he on the search
Tried to push him back its soo ironic how we always end up in first
Steady preaching time to take them to church
He ain't neva trust nobody they the same so now we staying alert
We goin make it and I know it for sure
And now we got it going on he been working all along
I sit back and let them judge but I won't let them do me wrong
Cuz I know we going up and we goin make it to the throne
And I'm tryna stay away but won't nobody leave me lone
He been sitting all alone feeling pain up in his soul
Got me feeling like a dog cuz we goin make it to the bone
He been wearing crooked smiles like he listing to Cole
Steady acting like he cool but don't nobody really know
Look uh
And if I tell you that I love you know that I won't neva leave
Locked up out that house so many times but now I got the keys
Steady switching like the autumn they be falling like the leaves
They got me feeling like Rod Wave I wear my heart upon my sleeve and I can't sleep
Got me feeling like I'm Mario my brothers goin leap
Soo much anger in my heart it make it hard for me to sleep
All that fire in my heart it get to booming like a tree
Ima bounce out with my brothers no surrender no retreat
Look I don't gotta write, promise you it's all up off the dome
And I can see the light, cuz I had to get up my zone
And yeah I had to fight, yeah I had to struggle on my own
I was living in that house but I ain't never had a home
Swear I'm always on my own
And I don't communicate so I be talking to the stones
Uh
Everybody copying I promise they my clones
I'm feeling like taking they goin send me to the throne
And now I'm really getting grown you can hear it in the tone
Really do it for them nappy headed kids who got a fro
Cuz ain't nobody watching for the people you should know
I'm looking for my neighbors I been going door to door
And even in this life of sin
I'm trying to repent but they keep looking at my past but don't see I'm a better man
So I'm grinding every day so I can get them dividends
They wanting me to slip but I won't fall I gotta win
It's now and then
I said once upon a time it was a youngin who was stuck in the dirt
He had a dream but never put in the work
Plus he fighting through depression ain't no question he goin smile when it hurts
Looking for himself now he on the search
Tried to push him back its soo ironic how we always end up in first
