Things ain't the way that they used to be
The way of the world made it hard to breathe
You gotta hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
I'm asking you to hold on, hold on, hold on
My life wasn't a box of chocolates
Police sirens, Bullets flying
And a lot of gossip bout 5 6 side chicks
Who riding for the profit
But only keep them legs open
If you send them shopping i ain't got it
Oh well, what's next too strong to weep
So I fall asleep and dream of success
What you think I'm upset?
My time ain't even come yet
So I gotta cut these niggas
Till they wanna cut checks
You ain't gotta cry no more
This is what I'm here for
Hit my knees and pray to God
Things you got in store bless your
But am I selfish cause I want more?
Only human but treated like a
Remaining humble through the struggles
Are we the one's you come for?
It's crazy cause now I'm dealing with
These twenty-fifteen issues
Like when your homies see you
Gotta then work against you
And start milking the situation
Ever since that we stop paying
To keep blazing for some reason
I'm feeling my kindness been mistaken
I don't know how you gone take this
I don't know how you gone take this
Why wouldn't I embrace it we make mistakes
We learn it then we gon' solve the equation
Every problem can be answered
But every answer comes with truth
I've been living man on the road doing shows
And I swear I love this feeling man
God been swimming with the sharks
While you've been playing with the dolphins
You know I don't fall in love often
And by the way you talking
And making all these faces
You got some crisis' or some confrontations
But I swear that shit you was on back then
The day made me feel I should've done more
