[Verse 1:]

I remember how I had conversations, with my momma
Talk about the girls and the drama, aaah the drama
She told me I could be just like Obama
But my heart was somewhere else that's a bummer
Followed the beat became a drummer
Had to switch it over to the keys
I was a sharp G playing G-sharp, I'm living grand like pianos
Now we're going up like a crescendo
Now they know the boy never settle
Now the success never subtle
(Success never subtle)
I'm just trynna live a dream
Momma said she saw me on the screen
She always believed that I could win
But I'm losing other things
[Bridge:]

And I lost a lot of friends
We could never make amends
But that helped me understand
All good things come to an end...
All good things come to an end

[Verse 2:]

Yeah, and here I am again
Just a young boy with that melanin
Hoping they won't judge me for the colour of my skin
Hoping they will look inside and see what is within
'Cause I swear they'll find greatness
Please don't expose my weaknesses
Rise from the ashes
Work so your dreams can manifest
I remember I became the president of my high school, man I was a wise fool
Hardly broke rules, spent time trynna be cool
Man you know how youth do
Put my first dance video on YouTube, prolly got 3 views
Now we're working on that something they ain't used to, they want the previews
(Now!)
Yeah, they want the previews, they wanna know what we've been through
Wanna know that UNCUSS ain't old news
Want it all raw like old school
UNCUSS what's up?
