Yeah, I thought you wanted me to win, but here you was again

Running around celebrating my losses

I took the last one to the chin and I cannot pretend

To get back on my feet, really exhausted

It's something I've been wondering, would you comprehend

If you knew how much energy that costed

Treated you like one of my kins, so I can't seek revenge

And I hope you don't never plan on offending me

'Cause I could never take that route

I drive, step out the road and walk by faith

I don't need a mountain

It was fairytale at that point in time

My dreams were none but doubt

Out of all people, you should know what I went through instead of doubt

You know I drove to giveaways to put some food inside our mouth

And it wasn't much, but we ain't have enough, so we were satisfied

Them old ass kids, you know about them being expired

And I'm far from it, so I talk about it now, it ain't no need to hide

And I got way too many memories that I choose to lock away

Like how they told me that by 18 I won't live to see that day

Well, let's not talk about them nights when I really thought my life was at stake

If you knew all about me, you would be proud of me, not hate

Honestly, I don't need to keep it, 'cause I'm proud of myself

I grew up without love

So I showed a little about what I felt

You really watched over me, God, I'm forever in doubt

I thought that I would've been dead

I'm grateful for every breath of you, oh

I thought you wanted me to win, but here you was again

Running around celebrating my losses

I took the last one to the chin and I cannot pretend

To get back on my feet, really exhausted

It's something I've been wondering, would you comprehend

If you knew how much energy that costed

Treated you like one of my kins, so I can't seek revenge

And I hope you don't never plan on offending me
