[Intro]
I wonder if I would've taken a different path, would I be living this moment
(No) I'd be in a different moment, and I would've wrote different poems
I'd close a few windows and I would wait for another new window to open
Instead of just spilling emotions hopeless of what there's no control of

[Verse 1]
I saw my older brother when I was 11 years old
I know we don't know each other, you went to Heaven 'fore I was even known
Was kinda startled when youngеr, I'd never seen a ghost
But I heard you follow our mothеr wherever she goes
And I always wonder, we could been close
Maybe we could've been rappin' together and settin' up 10 shows
Or maybe you could've been enrolled, into a university that you wanna go
With a new scholarship for economics or maybe you could've just been home
You could've been kicking a field goal into the end zone
And could've been one of the popular kids who probably would've been well known
Would've liked hearing me rhymin' fast and if I quit you would say "hell no"
I'm puttin your thoughts in my mind in back and stickin it there like Velcro
I wonder if I'd have grown up with you would it change today how I'm living this moment?
(Yeah) I'd be in a different moment, and I would've wrote different poems
We We and our brothers, we could've visited Florida with dad and been in the ocean
Instead of just spillin' emotions hopeless of what there's no control of

[Hook]
Look in my eyes (look in my eyes)
Lot of tear drops, drops, drops
And I don't know why (I don't know why)
They won't stop, stop, stop
Well this is my life (this is my life)
It's all I got, got, got
So I'm gonna try one more time to make it to the top, top
No more tear drops
[Verse 2]
I've been waitin' forever, my Grandma's still workin'
When I see her making this effort it's got me still hurtin'
Even if you stayed at home and they paid you though you still earned it
Still searchin' trying to find the real purpose, still nervous
And I feel worthless, but when I can I will purchase
Anything for anyone who was helping me get up when I was an ill burden
I'm pushing myself to my limits I want to be next in my city to get up and get it
'Cause I been to Hell and the devil ain't friendly, 22 feel like it's been a whole century
Mother and father they said that I'm gonna go farther than anyone in a comparison
Thinkin' of Grandma Kate, thinkin' of Grandpa Glen, thinkin' of Carla then thinkin' Aunt Carolyn
Anyone passed and anyone too far away so I can't even visit em barely
Talkin bout Dan and I'm talkin bout Eric and Grandma Mo really I'm talkin bout family
What if I could've afforded to buy you retirement, would I be living this moment?
(No) I'd be in a different moment, and I would've wrote different poems
Living up to everything that I've spoken, giving you everything that I owed you
Instead of just spilling emotions hopeless of what there's no control of

[Hook]
Look in my eyes (look in my eyes)
Lot of tear drops, drops, drops
And I don't know why (I don't know why)
They won't stop, stop, stop
Well this is my life (this is my life)
It's all I got, got, got
So I'm gonna try one more time to make it to the top, top
No more tear drops
[Outro]
I wonder if I would've taken a different path, would I be living this moment
(No) I'd be in a different moment, and I would've wrote different poems
I'd close a few windows and I would wait for another new window to open
Instead of just spilling emotions hopeless of what there's no control of
