back then
(Verse 1) I was young, heart cold, tryna find my way through it Nights in the rain, I was prayin’ I’d get through it Demons in my head, they was loud, had to mute it Pain in my chest, but I turned it to some music Lost a couple brothers to the system and the streets Mama steady cryin’, say she scared when I don’t speak Had to play it smart, keep my circle real tight When you come from the dark, you just learn how to fight I remember cold floors, sleepin’ on a thin mattress Now it’s foreign whips, push-button, no attachments But the scars still there, I just cover ‘em in fashion Every win feel different when you come from the ashes (Pre-Chorus) They see the shine but don’t know what it cost me Smiles on my face, but inside feelin’ lost, see Every blessing came with lessons that it taught me Real ones only, I can’t let ‘em cross me (Chorus) I been through the storm, I was drownin’ in the rain Now I’m standin’ tall, but I still feel the pain Heart full of scars, I just charge it to the game Tryna break the cycle, put my family in a chain Of new houses, new dreams, no more sufferin’ From the bottom of the trenches, we was hustlin’ Now my name ring bells in the streets, they lovin’ him But I still thank God every night I ain’t one of them (Verse 2) I done seen fake love turn to jealousy quick Same ones say they ridin’ be the first ones to switch So I move low-key, keep the blick out the mix Rather build generational wealth than be rich for a bit Therapy sessions with these lyrics I write Every bar like a scar I survived in the night Told my shorty hold me down, we gon’ be alright I was lost in that tunnel, now I’m seein’ the light They was doubting the kid, now they quoting my lines I was broke, down bad, now I’m owning my time Still humble, I remember them cold winter nights When that hunger in my stomach had me losing my mind (Bridge) If I fall, I’ma get up, that’s on everything Came too far from them days we ain’t had anything Every tear that I shed turned to diamond rings Now my pain got a voice, let it sing (Chorus) I been through the storm, I was drownin’ in the rain Now I’m standin’ tall, but I still feel the pain Heart full of scars, I just charge it to the game Tryna break the cycle, put my family in a chain Of new houses, new dreams, no more sufferin’ From the bottom of the trenches, we was hustlin’ Now my name ring bells in the streets, they lovin’ him But I still thank God every night I ain’t one of them
