[Intro]
Yeah, alone with my thoughts
Let me share 'em witchu, right
Uh

[Chorus]
They say the good die young, so the bad die old
Guess we somewhere in the middle, so just pray for my soul
All I wanna do is right, but all I'm seein' is wrong
And I'm tryna stay strong but its taking its toll, and I
Ain't no better than you, so when you playin' this song
And you feelin' how I'm feelin', just know, you ain't alone
Every day you wake up, another day that it's on
So we gotta wake up 'fore what we seein' is gone, is gone

[Verse 1]
Yeah
Since the beginnin', the mirror of what I've written
Real has been my description, ain't never been nothing different
Love me or hate me, just know it's me you lovin' or hatin'
So there'll never be an issue whichever judgement your makin'
High school, I knew who I was, I had direction
A leader, I ain't follow nobody, always progressin'
So every girl in high school a ho was the perception
'Cause lame n***as lied on they dick to get acceptance
Takin' a girls purity to get a sense of security
Now she insecure, she get older and she ain't sure of me
And I ain't sayin' I'm an angel or saint
But one of these days I might need her to be wifey, but she can't
'Cause now she don't trust n***as, all the time, fuck n***as
'Cause she thinkin' if she don't then no n***a gon' fuck with her
Both male and female, lost in misdirection
It's a crazy world when you live in a misconception, for real

[Chorus]
They say the good die young, so the bad die old
Guess we somewhere in the middle, so just pray for my soul
All I wanna do is right, but all I'm seein' is wrong
And I'm tryna stay strong but its taking its toll, and I
Ain't no better than you, so when you playin' this song
And you feelin' how I'm feelin', just know, you ain't alone
Every day you wake up, another day that it's on
So we gotta wake up 'fore what we seein' is gone, is gone
[Verse 2]
Yeah
Yeah
She at the university, tryna fit in, blowin' intuition
Was a good girl back at the crib, but now she different
Blowin' trees, she was never into it
It's the influence of her roomy, she wit' it 'cause all her friends do it
Back home she knew people, now she with these new people
She don't know herself no more, now she feelin' like two people
N***as in the dorm, 3 AM, thinkin' they cool people
Tryna keep up with this bullshit can consume people
Talkin' loud, wrong crowd, y'all fuckin' the same dudes
Feelin' like you can't move, it's painful, this ain't you
You stay loose, cranberry juice and Grey Goose
Can't shake ya head at them hoes, 'cause you doing what they do
N***as play you, too far gone, who gon' save you?
Funny how shit could'a been if you'd have stayed you
Out of control on the path of misdirection
It's the crazy life when you live in misconception, for real

[Chorus]
They say the good die young, so the bad die old
Guess we somewhere in the middle, so just pray for my soul
All I wanna do is right, but all I'm seein' is wrong
And I'm tryna stay strong but its taking its toll, and I
Ain't no better than you, so when you playin' this song
And you feelin' how I'm feelin', just know, you ain't alone
Every day you wake up, another day that it's on
So we gotta wake up 'fore what we seein' is gone, is gone
[Verse 3]
Yeah, yeah
The coolest n***a in high school, was exactly that
The coolest n***a in high school, time passed right by you
Past the days of glory, keep tellin' them war stories
Leachin' off baby mamas, he never set his priorities
Already findin', his best days is behind him
The hoes that he used to fuck is what defines him
Sleepin' on different couches, got seeds in three different houses
But if you ask about 'em he barely know nothin' bout 'em
I don't want him around me, all I know about him
Is he broke and he brag about being in and out the county
And since when is not being shit the shit
When there's only one life to live, I hope you're listenin', huh?
Still alive, done livin' at twenty-five
Stuck in the hood, but never got out 'cause he never tried
Look, check your brother, but check yourself first
The truth hurts, but we can all change after this verse, and that's real

[Chorus]
They say the good die young, so the bad die old
Guess we somewhere in the middle, so just pray for my soul
All I wanna do is right, but all I'm seein' is wrong
And I'm tryna stay strong but its taking its toll, and I
Ain't no better than you, so when you playin' this song
And you feelin' how I'm feelin', just know, you ain't alone
Every day you wake up, another day that it's on
So we gotta wake up 'fore what we seein' is gone, is gone

[Outro]
'Cause shit's real
It's too real
