what’s life, a dash between two years
That’s life, trying to make it to the new year
Think twice, what we trying to do here
so brave, that’s before I knew fear
Old head, I’m the one new here
Confused, I don’t know what to do here
momma fighting, cancer got a tight grip
Third or fourth time, always on her fight shit,
Lost her voice, wish it never done that
By her side, if you asking where her son at
If it were me, would I be strong enough to fight back
Or take an easy out, wonder how I might act
Chorus:
never been afraid, live life pushing limits
move fast and furious, never to a speed limit
Red line, watch it pass triple digits
Road blocks, that’s where I gotta pivot
I’ll be the realest who ever did it,
I done got it, for those who thought I’d never get it,
I done did it, my hustle stay relentless
wake up moving, no time for breakfast
Verse 2:
A younger me, never thought I'd see 30
Cuz I was so grimy, living life so dirty
Like Tupac, destined to die early,
Momma tripping, didn't know she was just worried
Imagine, a younger brother getting buried
I use to wish, momma would have miscarried
I never told momma, I was freaking out
I couldn't stop, the pain from seeping out,
I couldn’t stop the tears, from leaking out
Midnight, 13 and I’m sneaking out
Trying to be grown, only 13
In the streets fighting like the mujahideen
Chorus:
never been afraid, live life pushing limits
move fast and furious, never to a speed limit
Red line, watch it pass triple digits
Road blocks, that’s where I gotta pivot
I’ll be the realest who ever did it,
I done got it, for those who thought I’d never get it,
I done did it, my hustle stay relentless
wake up moving, no time for breakfast
