From the city of the lost dreams
Just a kid tryna get a taste of that ice cream
Worked so hard when i hit my teens
Its like i switched up when i started cruisin' in the beam
To be honest i really haven't been working hard
I been slackin on shit, sittin' around like a birthday card
I ain't perfect, yeah i've got my flaws
But i promise i will drop them jaws (yeah i will drop them jaws)
Yeah
I've been tryna move ahead in life
Do everything right
But been doing everything wrong
When will i learn how to get it right
Stressful nights thinking how am i gon' pay these bills
School tryna up my brain cells but all it does is kill
Was floating in the sky above the clouds
Now it feels like i'm falling to the bottom
Like leaves from trees in the autumn
All my problems man i'm tryna resolve 'em
I heard the haters telling lies but acted surprised when i caught 'em
Damn, Its been 4 years
Pursuing music as a career
Now i'm 18
With the same dream
Barely any progress but that will be changing
'Cause i'm done playing around
Its time to leave the sandbox and go explore the town
Want to grab the mic so you can hear me loud
So you can hear me clear
So you can shed a tear
With me
No hood raps but the hood feel it
This right here for the spirit
I know you can feel it
I'm speaking on things you been holding in for a minute
And i ain't finished
I'll admit i always seeked for approval from others
Everyone and they mothers
But its time to say f*ck that and put on for my brothers
'Cause we got each other (yeah, cause we got each other)
So i gotta do my part
Shoulda done it from the start
Some of my niggas, man we grew apart
'Cause i didn't stay true to my heart
I'm still in the same place while they moved on
So i sat down and i wrote this song
To let them know that i'll be catching up
So we can reunite, so we can talk, so we can say what up
So we can catch up on our lives at a pub
Drink a little, we never really was with the drugs
