GQ - The Ugly Side of Beautiful lyrics

[Produced By: Khrysis] See sometimes it's like, life ain't always gonna be what you want it to be. Take the bitter with the sweet [Verse 1: Add-2] My grandmother dementia is getting worse and my first thought was f** What next? When it rains, it pours Feeling crushed, sitting stuck like, what can I say? How can I get a grip, you slipping further away You used to tell me we can't live for tomorrow, we ain't promised today In the belly of the beast you always told me to pray With God, you don't argue, I'm human, it's hard not to 'Specially when you look in my eyes and say "who are you?" It breaks my heart, this frame of mind is painting pictures, ain't made for art 'Dre this world it's just a stage, just play your part How can you make it through the night when your days are dark? Rain on my windowpane, four people I loved died in a week and a half Have you ever been so hurt you sit back and you laugh? See sometimes it takes courage just to walk through your fears And sometimes you gotta smile just to hold back the tears I wonder how much pressure these little shoulders can take Feel like they bout to break like f** it, I need a break Like stop, I'm tryna brake, I'm tryna carry the weight You made in the Lord's image, you designed to be great But success is like a drug and I'm losing my buzz Nothing lasts, but I'm tryna make some music that does From black love and black hate and black plight I show the sh** that they don't show like a black light What I write takes flight like the Wright Brothers Where I take it they can't measure the height, brother They over [hyped?] like motor bikes, ain't got a hood I'll [?] on my worst day, they ain't half as good In the city where plenty semis will k** kids Grazed memories are gone, but sh** I'm still here You never live to see the flowers at your funeral That's the ugly side of beautiful [Verse 2: GQ] [Mo?] talks about the future Wasn't fit for it, they tell me it still suit ya Converse about a spot we done flew to If you ain't on my plane what's it to ya? n***a I kept pushing, they kept looking I look through ya Drew Barrymore next day never knew ya On a porch, my pop telling' me what's in store For every lesson I question what it's for Only look back on rear view glimpses Life's short so I take more pictures Funeral's coming faster than birthdays, I make more wishes Up in these trees I ain't helping no kittens Incredibly I ain't losing that feeling, gotta check for a [?] What if they love me more than forehead kisses, do it count though? An amount so high to a new place Everything good and a few great Wait, wait brand new day upon us Bad weather couldn't tarnish Look at what life done taught us We was gonna make it regardless Kind of music make the night sound gorgeous Peeling off on them, sliced out oranges What I'm offering is bright enough to match a lighthouse mortgage Sliding and slipping like wipeout courses on this b**h Who been achieving, I'm guilty gave them my Prince b**hes playing like lifeguards, looking at me like squints Looking at it I trip, no book feeling 87 again we got that no look feeling It's no more Dodge and the [?] ceilings Sky's the limit, these clouds gon' fill it Look at what we overcame, to champagne from soda, change I had to From Oakland to Chi-Town what up to Add-2 Record was laid I just felt I had some sh** to add too For the ones that work tired in a cubicle Planned this years ago, looks what I done grew into Walking to the beat I made a musical Welcome to the ugly side of beautiful
