[Verse]
Momma said obey the rules but I broke them like glass
Growing up too quick with a foot on the gas
Trouble found me in the hallways at school
Thought I knew it all but I played the fool
[Verse 2]
Judge banged the gavel my freedom in chains
Told me to change but I stayed the same
Probation bruises still fresh on my mind
Paying for the crimes I chased down blind
[Chorus]
Raised right but I took the wrong turn
Where the fire of youth does nothing but burn
Sorry for the nights spent in endless regret
For the weight on their hearts I’ll never forget
[Verse 3]
Saw the pain in Dad’s hands shaking like leaves
Tried to patch the wounds left by my misdeeds
Mom cried herself dry but kept standing tall
I built a house of mistakes just to watch it fall
[Bridge]
Late nights now I stare at the wall
Hearing echoes of footsteps from every bad call
I’m a mess in this mirror but I want to stand strong
How’d being raised right all go so wrong
[Chorus]
Raised right but I took the wrong turn
Where the fire of youth does nothing but burn
Sorry for the nights spent in endless regret
For the weight on their hearts I’ll never forget
