[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
