Lyrics
I had it all, lost it
Kicked into the darkness
Had every opportunity
But missed every target
Fell into a struggle
Mixed with liquor and a conscience
That yelled at me every time I ran out of options
(Lost Trouble)
Guided by a broken dream of imposters
Guardians watching
But been blinded by my bosses
Trapped in a circle
Of these snakes when I be sharking
When all the world's a stage
I was afraid of being… honest
(Somehow made me…)
MODEST… HUMBLE…AMBITIOUS…CAUTIOUS…
PATIENT… but really too much precious time is wasted
GRACIOUS…
Just enough to keep my head out of the basement
To face the facts of life
I never thought then I would say this…
STILL MODEST…
I been so close that I can taste it
So much adversity
A ton of bricks hit the pavement
EVASIVE… AND PERSUASIVE…
I had to be brave (AUDACIOUS)
To overcome the obstacles…
AND TAKE IT!
(Yuh)
I had it all, for real…
My family used to be proud…
Too focused on the slums instead of do right
I lashed out…
And sold drugs to friends that ended up snitching
To they parents
Then they parents hit me up…
And all it made was extra errands…
I ain't trying to be cool…
I was just doing too much trusting…
My love for other people
Turned to every type of fucking…
When I could have been a husband
But I read the wrong books
Hooked on phonics
I promise…
This isn't what it looks
MODEST… HUMBLE…AMBITIOUS…CAUTIOUS…
PATIENT… but really too much precious time is wasted
GRACIOUS…
Just enough to keep my head out of the basement
To face the facts of life
I never thought then I would say this…
