I won't be falling for those same mistakes
Always running back more than running another way
To tie the breaks
I remember as a kid with my nose runny
Girls used to run from me
That was the problem
When my pockets had no money
My skin was like chocolate
My hair felt like carpet
Family of 4, living in a one room apartment
While they all shot the target
Salvation army my shopping spree
The only time my family
Would feel like we won the lottery
My friends committing those felonies
Selling drugs, robbery
Living a government property
But I was on point like archery
Even though we were stressing
Still counted our blessings
Left the life of oppression
To a life of depression
I went, from detention
Then getting arrested
Mother prayed for repent
Just to learn it from every lesson
Now we on
I won't be falling for those same mistakes
Always running back more than running another way
To tie the breaks
Now my time has come
To follow the stars, until we shine
Close my eyes, and picture the dark you left behind
I'm never looking back
I'm never looking back
Now part of me for my bitterness
That part of me I'm not dealing with
Some self esteem I'm not speaking of
Just because it's not picturesque
But still I kept on brushing my fingers dog
Can't crush what I'm dreaming of
At night I was speaking but yeah
I know we don't speak a lot
Gimme that chance and I'll say no more
Fuck my thumbs man hit those raw
Walk in the room how heroes walk
Even when there was that I did it too soft
Man I had nothing
But nothing was my something
Somewhere inside my heart
I guess I knew this shit was coming
And even those nights when I could not sleep
All the things that they put on me
Shout out to my true old friends
That kids doing good old things
May the force be with you
Trying to deal what I did do
Plus the things that I will do
For what you'd die for then let it kill you
Dog, aye aye aye aye
I won't be falling for those same mistakes
Always running back more than running another way
To tie the breaks
Now my time has come
To follow the stars, until we shine
Close my eyes, and picture the dark you left behind
I'm never looking back
All my life I've only dreamed about one thing
Man I know that I can give the world something
Shout out out to EB
Shout out to Issac
And their whole family for always having my back
I was technically homeless
Most people don't know this
That they took me in
And yo, that kept me so focused
Push myself to the limit
Put my heart and soul in it
Life could change any minute
So I won't stop till I'm finished
I just want be the best
All I wanted was respect
I've flown me high
But I'm just getting my feet back
Dad said what are you waiting for
Go and make history
But learn from your mistakes
From failure to victory
I promise
