[Produced By Khrysis] See sometimes its like, life aint always gonna be what you want it to be. Take the bitter with the sweet [Verse 1 Add2] My grandmother dementia is getting worse and my first thought was fuck What next? When it rains, it pours Feeling crushed, sitting stuck like, what can I say? How can I get a grip, you slipping further away You used to tell me we cant live for tomorrow, we aint promised today In the belly of the beast you always told me to pray With God, you dont argue, Im human, its hard not to Specially when you look in my eyes and say who are you? It breaks my heart, this frame of mind is painting pictures, aint made for art Dre this world its just a stage, just play your part How can you make it through the night when your days are dark? Rain on my windowpane, four people I loved died in a week and a half Have you ever been so hurt you sit back and you laugh? See sometimes it takes courage just to walk through your fears And sometimes you gotta smile just to hold back the tears I wonder how much pressure these little shoulders can take Feel like they bout to break like fuck it, I need a break Like stop, Im tryna brake, Im tryna carry the weight You made in the Lords image, you designed to be great But success is like a drug and Im losing my buzz Nothing lasts, but Im tryna make some music that does From black love and black hate and black plight I show the shit that they dont show like a black light What I write takes flight like the Wright Brothers Where I take it they cant measure the height, brother They over [hyped?] like motor bikes, aint got a hood Ill [?] on my worst day, they aint half as good In the city where plenty semis will kill kids Grazed memories are gone, but shit Im still here You never live to see the flowers at your funeral Thats the ugly side of beautiful [Verse 2 GQ] [Mo?] talks about the future Wasnt fit for it, they tell me it still suit ya Converse about a spot we done flew to If you aint on my plane whats it to ya? Nigga I kept pushing, they kept looking I look through ya Drew Barrymore next day never knew ya On a porch, my pop telling me whats in store For every lesson I question what its for Only look back on rear view glimpses Lifes short so I take more pictures Funerals coming faster than birthdays, I make more wishes Up in these trees I aint helping no kittens Incredibly I aint losing that feeling, gotta check for a [?] What if they love me more than forehead kisses, do it count though? An amount so high to a new place Everything good and a few great Wait, wait brand new day upon us Bad weather couldnt tarnish Look at what life done taught us We was gonna make it regardless Kind of music make the night sound gorgeous Peeling off on them, sliced out oranges What Im offering is bright enough to match a lighthouse mortgage Sliding and slipping like wipeout courses on this bitch Who been achieving, Im guilty gave them my Prince Bitches playing like lifeguards, looking at me like squints Looking at it I trip, no book feeling 87 again we got that no look feeling Its no more Dodge and the [?] ceilings Skys the limit, these clouds gon fill it Look at what we overcame, to champagne from soda, change I had to From Oakland to ChiTown what up to Add2 Record was laid I just felt I had some shit to add too For the ones that work tired in a cubicle Planned this years ago, looks what I done grew into Walking to the beat I made a musical Welcome to the ugly side of beautiful
