Verse 3 (Kevin): Many things in life are just not what they seem/October 19th, thought it was all a dream/My dad had nothing to give, though he had reigned supreme/I watched a King descend his very own regime/The way I laughed off the pain/You’d thought it was a meme/I could have posted the block as if I was Hakeem/I had to get off my ass though I was just a teen/Cause in the end money talks/Hardened like Charlie Sheen/This independent and foreign as if I’m Silas Deane/I’m working hard like a Haitian as if my name was Jean/For all the mothers that hustle/You know just what I mean/I hope my words are so vivid they illustrate a scene/I find my mind within a bind/The grind’s a sign/That sometimes man I need to unwind/Behind these lines is wine/I’m drinking in the autumn/Lord, God please protect from my demons, know I fought ’em
Chorus [1x] Been going with the pain that’s in my life/Is it wrong, is it right?/Been tryna make it through a single day/Man I’m lost/I’ll find a way
Verse 4 (Keion): Everything you been through you probably feel like breaking down/And you praying now/Been thinking all night/Fighting your whole life/Hoping something goes right but it all went wrong/You try to stay strong but all along you know it’s a place that you don’t belong cause everybody’s the same/They judge you and call you names/And even when it’s sunny you feel like you in the rain/And even the lightest days you feel like you in the dark/Tryna follow your heart but your mind is telling you different/Wish that you could go missing or disappear from existence cause nobody ever listens/All they do is doubt you and act like they care about you but you really don’t know how to/Deal with pressure from others/Aunties, cousins and mothers/Cousins, uncles and brothers/Constantly putting you down/Knocking you on the ground/Keep your head above water/And pray that you don’t drown
Verse 5 (Myles): All the pain we’re going through/Will it ever cease?/When Black men’s fate are tied unto the hands of the police/Trapped within our mind just tryna find an inner peace/Praying that it finds me ‘fore the belly of the beast/Tryna stay alive but the pressure makes you crease/I can’t afford the space they tryna terminate my lease/Cause when I hit the streets it’s like the wolves come out to feast/Just one of many problems that we deal with on the least/Curry seasoned and that’s some the best they’ve ever had/Dribbled through the traffic cause they always had their dad/Don’t know how to feel/Can’t tell ’em why you mad/The fact that you lack range from deep is nothing short of sad/At times you gotta stick with it, even broken plays/Especially if you caught a charge in the Oakland bay/The pain is real but know that you’ll bounce back as if you Klay/So don’t lose hope/Keep pushing/Trust that you will find a way
Kevin Outro: Girl, I want you to know/I can’t get you out of my head/Girl, I want you to know/I don’t truly know where we stand…
