[Verse]
Yeah, In my life I lost a lot of things
My mom my dad and my siblings
I’m very puzzled like it’s riddling
Why did this have to happen to me?
Everything I had washed away like soap
Where else could I go besides the superdome
I was lonely, yeah I had a couple homies
But anxiety hypothetically told me that this is not my home

My life never ever really was complex
As a kid I would always play outside with my friends
We’d Walk feeling Almighty like YBN
I had delicious dinners every 7 pm
I be thinking ‘bout my dreams spending time with family
And I had wonderful parents who’d always tuck me in
I remember when my dad carried me like I’m a baby
To the hospital when my ankle twisted like a dread

I was 18 when my life switched like a leaver
Running home fast like ariba ariba
Then it started getting windy (Wendy), no cheesea
And that’s when I saw her; huracan Katrina
That’s when I made it home to my family
We hugged each other like it was a happy ending
Then something struck but it wasn’t lightning
Nah, not lightning
Then I woke up at a hospital like a new baby
In a bed undercovers like my first name was Kassie
I started screaming at the doctors ”Where the f*** is my family?!”
“Where’s my sister Sarah?! Where’s my brother Davey?!”
“Where are my parents who went out their way to raise me?”
The doctor waited a minute for me to calm down
And when I did he told the only survivor was me

And I still decided to stand tall on my feet
I never gave up on my life, it’s never given up on me
I’m aware that I’m alone, ain’t no daddy or mommy
My life really changed like Cyrus to the Miley
Of course I didn’t take the death of my loved ones lightly
But I had things to do and I just did ‘em like it’s Nike

Relocated by a fam in LA
Provided me with a room to stay
Eventually I found a job that could pay me minimum wage
Clerk at Micky D's
Don’t judge me
Had to get paid
Or I’d be kicked by the family
I would’ve been a bum for the rest of my days (huh!)

Later on I managed to make enough money for college
I did it on my own with no help, I’m not Hopsin
I ain’t never stopin’
Was just getting started
Okay, let me get back on the topic
Yes I work hard
Yes I’ll go far
Fast as a car
I ain’t got no time to turn up at a club or bar
I little time if I waste it I’m gonna fall
Never taking vacations until I know I ball hard
Graduated and I got new job up in Philly
Well paying job I could live in the hillies
Never thought about failure it just gives me the chillies
Kill me if I fail ‘cause if I do it’s goin’ kill me
Nice lady at work soon enough we got married
Weeks later we started curling like a jerry
Made two babies
Now I’m a parent
Decided name them after Sarah and Davy

Don’t ever confront me
I came up from nothing
Since I was 18 I’ve been running from bumming
Running from bumming
Running from bumming
Since I was 18 I’ve been running from bumming, uh
