Doors Closed

When them doors close
There ain't nobody there to save you now
I been screaming someone let me out
Contemplating why I'm filled with doubt
Lost my confidence I don't know how

Building my self like a building
What's high enough for the ceiling?
Do I want to make the millions?
Just the thought of that I'm soaking in my privilege
For example let me give you a good instance
My Momma grew up with no food up in her fridges
How?
How?
What's my life come to?
I don't know how
How?
I been oh so spoiled I'm trying to touch the ground
Ground

I'm going to my roots and think bout the life I lived
Lots of sacrifice my parents made for all they kids
My past is filled with all regret but is it is what it is
Who there?
Who there?
I know you there
You there
But I pushed you both away so I could
Inhale inhale
Smoked medical grade I know I didn't have permission
We lived in Texas so I didn't have prescription
It wasn't good it was just halting my ambition
Bad mental health doesn't mix good with an addiction
I got some stories to tell
That I know well
If kept on living that lifestyle I'd go to hell
Either that or I'd be on the run and prolly go to jail
If I didn't quit the drugs I'd never learn to love myself

When them doors close
There ain't nobody there to save you now
I been screaming someone let me out
Contemplating why I'm filled with doubt
Lost my confidence I don't know how

I'm thinking how could I give love like they did for me?

Sitting here and questioning
Bout my life and how can I improve?
Become a better man
My father said one day I really hope that you would understand
The things that I was doing was so you could have a better chance
At living life
With better opportunities
My father didn't grow up with a loving community
I really wasn't the best kid
Did a lot
And I be wishing that some things I did
Was turned into did not
So many sacrifices that were made I didn't put to thought
So many times I pushed them away knowing they was all I got
I been patiently, patiently waiting
For my time to come so I been really thinking
How can I spread the love to world like they did for me?
So many times I broke they trust but kept loyalty
I wasted so much of their time and it wasn't cheap
I been really tryna change I hope that you can see
