[Intro] Adele There ain't no gold in this river That I've been washin' my hands in forever I know there is hope in these waters But I can't bring myself to swim When I am drowning in this silence Baby, let me in Go easy on me, baby I was still a child Didn't get the chance to Feel the world around me I had no time to choose what I chose to do So go easy on me [Verse] I was back to back doing shows, young wild run away Staying on the interstate, I ain't have nowhere else to stay Uncle D came and told mе We ain't got no more time to wastе, ni**a let's get it jumping My dreams right in front of me, I hit the ground running I been grinding 5 summers, just chasin' this money I watched the whole city doubt, turn nothing into something The same b*tches used to doubt me when they seen me coming Yeah, 'member they was smiling and laughing 'Member I ain't have sh*t, winning all this mad sh*t They say you reap what you sow They say karmas a b*tch [?], I had good intentions I was a boy tryna' be a man Trapped in a cold world, my heart in my hand Fresh out of high school paying bills and this sh*t on my own I'm built off hard times, that sh*t made me so strong It's scars on my heart and they made me so cold, so cold So many childhood friends who got stuck at that road [?] Now he stuck all alone I wonder do they know, how fast we had to grow? Our parents only children, bless our granny soul And I ran up some millions, but I want some more I'm sorry I am not the same, we haven't met before And I said I would never change It got hard to hold on Looking at my daughter face, soon as I get home I did a lot of fighting, me, myself, and my demons It's hard to sleep at night, so I be constantly leanin' I told a lot of lies and broke some hearts, yeah I seen it It's hard to go to sleep I see your face when I'm dreaming Told the family I was crazy and I need some help She say "I'm toxic", I tell her "You're not perfect yourself" Just go easy on me, when you speaking on me [Outro] Adele You can't deny how hard I have tried I changed who I was to put you both first But now I give up Go easy on me, baby I was still a child I didn't get the chance to Feel the world around me I had no time to choose what I chose to do So go easy on me
