Ady B - Know I lyrics

[Verse 1] Happiness Since fifth grade I've been trying to give my life a shape Was raised by mistakes no happiness Momma was crying and the skies were grey Absolutely nothing, could make her show a happy face Everything we could've done was hope and pray for better days Making something out of nothing is the hardest phase On a different way, to escape out of this maze, it's just That I've been wasting so much time for so long I just learned to hit the bong, get the money on my own Listening to Pac kept my motherf**ing head up Was fed up, no father figure but I've taught myself to step up Shave and recognize cats who were fake For gods sake I might take a couple shots today, nah I'm not really about it but inside man I'm dying And every time I cry I disguise it with my elan, lying On the floor like a dead body with no enthusiasm for living life Am I alive or just breathing? Music is my only remedy and nothing could basically Erase the phrase that's tatted in my memory After a dark night man there's a brighter day after that That's why I thank the lord every time I pray All of the catastrophes I've witnessed, that's a blasphemy For me there's just no other way to say any suggestive things The only thing I can do is writing songs And music is the only way to get my mind wide open You unleashed the beast capish? I make the moves for me And my familia they turned Ady to a machine I mean why giving up while there's so many opportunities You usually don't recognize or apply usefully So now truthfully why don't you simply take a second To calm down look around man, avoid depression Loud lawyers they be repping my spirit They be hitting me as I hard as I hit y'all with my lyrics [Hook x2] Gotta make my momma proud take it on another level Leave the past behind following them instrumentals Staying steady getting ready, proving my potential Intellectually thinking, ruling with the pencil [Outro] Know I Gotta put enough work in Make sure my plan is working sh** Yeah gotta give my people back I won't stop until my momma quit her job you know Yeah Peace
