[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: Rod Wave]
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 me
We ain't got no morе time to waste, n***a let's gеt 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 bitches used to doubt me when they seen me coming
Yeah, 'member they was smiling and laughing
'Member I ain't have shit, winning all this mad shit
They say you reap what you sow
They say karmas a bitch
I bet she understood, 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 shit on my own
I'm built off hard times, that shit 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 up 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
