Adolescence (feat. 3LISE)

We never had a lot as a kid when growing up But my pops worked overtime to make sure that we had enough Food at the table, soda or water was in my cup Grateful for things I had, but hungry for more I felt stuck As a younging life was golden it couldn't get more better Report cards bringing home first initial the only letter PlayStation in the summer never cared for the weather Me and my brothers doing numbers we were always together But life changes people grow others stuck in they mold A strangeness in the air things were about to unfold Sat us down in the spring, we was breaking through cold Mommy and daddy seperating we ain't together no mo An early adolescent panicked as to where we would go Blaming two people for something that was outta control Learned to sacrifice and give up everything that I know Looking back I always knew I had a lot more to grow Take my time to get emotion Would you ever look at me different Would you wait on my ambition Or find your own love and commitment Go hard, come for a life you deserve Never too young to chase what you know Address changed, new faces and new names Small town with white people who all sounded the same Not to say that I'm dark, I've always lacked melanin But all they knew was money they wasn't feeling the pain Single mother working nights I ain't see her a lot I was too busy skipping school finding truth in some pot As blunts burned lessons learned something school never taught Drugs can be the medicine when you feeling forgot Didn't fit in the with the crowd I got bullied on spot Laughed at my hammy downs and the kicks that I rocked Didn't have the confidence thought I was destined to flop at Confided in these verses on this page that I jot Two years eviction notice we was leaving the spot Another move out of place like birds how we flocked Blamed it on each other while I blamed it on myself Maybe if I was good enough they wouldn't have fought Take my time to get emotion Would you ever look at me different Would you wait on my ambition Or find your own love and commitment Go hard, come for a life you deserve Never too young to chase what you know A couple years further and I grew out of my shell Started spitting the words out that I was writing so well Years of pain and tribulation I had a story to tell The same ones that was hating karmas treating ''em well Funny how those who talk shit got more demons inside Those of us who stayed quiet we ain't got nothing to hide I know a lot will listen and only think about the result A lot of people will forget I'm new to being adult Grateful for the homies in my life that I had to consult To get back on the right track get myself out of the mulch An open book, I wrote a novel, after turning twenty three Looking back onto my life hoping to see the trilogy Your only enemy is yourself if you let it come through Hindsight is 20/20 and I'm just glad I can see You know that's it's me C A and the R with the double I'm setting my own worth don't need a college degree
