[Verse 1] (A-Game)
As I sit here writing this, I'm trying to think of sh** to say
It ain't easy for me to spit my pain
It ain't because I have it easy, I just bottle everything away
And hope for my sake that they never break
I've been betrayed by my closest friends, bullied all through school
I've been lied to, and cheated on, and I've been ridiculed
People stole from me and used me, and played me like a fool
But it's cool cause I'm doing much better now without YOU
Life has its' ups and downs
Some days I feel the need to smile, other days I frown
Times change, things will never ever be the same
Holding onto memories, won't let 'em fade away
I've seen d** ravage friends, even family
Even put two of my homies in an early grave
But still I stay around 'em, let 'em keep me company
But I had to slow it down and moderate because the sh** was catching up to me
Why should I pray to a god in the sky?
The good die young, to me? That don't even seem right
If he was real, I think my Cousin Mike would still be alive
Instead of dying in his prime while he was under the knife
This is more than just a rhyme, this is straight from the heart
And Unchained is released, but this is only the start
Triple F life, I'd like to thank my friends, fans, and family
And all the choices that I made that made me who I am today, A-Game
[Bridge] (Bird)
Damn, that's some real talk homie
I'm going through some sh** too
You gotta keep your head up, though
And we will make it through
If you survive to be wise, you'll be a stronger person inside
And that gives us the opportunity to change other people's lives
Yeah, and that's real
And I'm only 19
[Verse 2] (Bird)
Jobless and homeless, going through my options
Heart is so broken, I sit here in silence
Life is not an option, live and solve problems
Life is so timeless, walk around cautious
Yeah - even close friends f** you over
Lie, steal, then act cool when they come over
I'm another dumb f** dropout
At least I got a diploma before I got drugged out
(What are you doing?) I don't know, I'm trying to make a song
(Then leave the d** alone, write from the heart, don't follow anybody else)
See I know what to do, I gotta handle business
Chains are hard to break
I have a habit of creating bad habits, I wanna get away
Help me escape, a planet full of hate
I don't wanna stay another day, show me a way
I wanna make a change in my life, yeah
I'm a young buck living like I can't die
Damn, I need a different mindset
I set goals, but I get so distracted
I gotta get my head straight before I walk straight
I gotta love myself, not someone else
Real talk, I believe nothing else
Just believe in myself and God because he helps
Keep moving homie, keep it 100
Keep your head up, brotha you'll be OK
I promise, Everything Will Be OK
