about

I am not a super positive person, - well maybe these days, but I still have those dark days, but this song is definitely not about one of those dark days. I just remember, the feeling of coming of age and being in front of people and performing and being able to have my voice heard, and to feel like people were watching. I need you to understand- Its never been about the money, its always been about you-

lyrics

Chorus
2xAnd I keep on writing/ Al stays up beat/ Rob keeps on time and we peace to the streets/ look in to the sky and I pray for we/ everybody in the world that’s ya'll and us/

Verse1
Up until this point in this life of mine/ I've not done a lot of things that would give me pride/ I made true lies when I made two kids/ and didn't give them tools that they need to live/ I;ve got no excuses or reasons why/ at least none that I think would justify this pucked up life of mine/ small on ice/ always miss the goal though I'm steady getting striked and is hard to fight/ hard to be alright/ hard to see the light keep on running/ Imma be what the ole me wasn't/ making my babies proud on my grandma, cousin/ this ain’t wanted/ nor how I dreamed it would be/ I ain’t a bad man but I've done bad things/ a means to an ends for a way to achieve/ manifest destiny/ gone get your best recipe/ drink lemonade freshly squeezed/ eat fried cat fish with texas pete/ chill the food tastes bad when you stressing- peace!/

Chorus
2xAnd I keep on writing/ Al stays up beat/ Rob keeps on time and we peace to the streets/ look in to the sky and I pray for we/ everybody in the world that’s y’all and us/

Verse2
I used to look at other dudes all quick to judge/ fools fallin/ callin in/ next door they hollering/ one night the fathering/ following/ a whole life filled with broken promises/ that’s the whole side only half of the story. In the other half threes no fortune and glory/ true some did / some do/ some will do more things/ that’s considered wrong I don't mean to foresee/ objects in the mirror real small at warp-speed/ life moves fast and the lessons force feed/ hero without a town no badge or horsies/ trying to get down for his fam and shorty/ lordy me oh' my/ trying to be right should be so hard/ fighting a good fight guarantee those scars through rain/ through/ sleet/ though snow we march/ its like that!!!

Chorus
2xAnd I keep on writing/ Al stays up beat/ Rob keeps on time and we peace to the streets/ look in to the sky and I pray for we/ everybody in the world that’s ya'll and us/
