[Intro: Twelve'Len]
Girl you gotta understand
That everything
Not sweet as gold
Hard to embrace the rain
But at the end
Everything will grow
[Verse 1: 6LACK]
Oh you thought this was a come up n***a?
Mama told me go to school, but I don't wanna n***a
See I ain't had no fun since that summer n***a
Who woulda ever saw this comin' n***a?
See it's mind over matter in my household
But how I'm gon' do that when my house holds
Everything over my head and it hurts me so
But I got my mind right, I want that pot of gold
See it's crazy cause mama don't understand, daddy ain't got a plan
My sister think I'm the man, and my brother my biggest fan
Damn, enlightenment I soak in
Now I got my third eye open
See positive thinking, brings positive results
But damn where the f*ck are, the positive adults?
So I stay in my room, writing in my pad
The dreams that I done had, the life that I'm gon' have
[Hook: 6LACK and Twelve'Len]
When house is not a home, tell me where do you go? you go
They said you wouldn't be alone, well what do you know, you know
Girl you gotta understand, that everything not sweet as gold
Hard to embrace the rain, but at the end, everything will grow
[Verse 2: Kewl Kev]
Big balls, bigger heart, where to start?
From the bottom dreams definin' who we are
"It's all timing," that's a line I want retired
Swear the devil is a liar, say my house is no home
What I do wrong?
I just gave you my all to watch it fall like Rome
Where is the love? I ain't force this affair
Yea I may be yo child, I ain't ask to be here
You broke yo promises, made me feel like a foster
Only God can be honest, Lord forgive these imposters
For taking my soul
Leaving my brothers on cold floors, eating out of one bowl
Oh sh*t! guess reality hit
Dreams are frowned upon in this establishment
F*ck it, guess we'll get it on our own
Make it be known, write it in stone, Phlyte or be gone
[Hook x2]
