So fuck a sec, I need a couple minutes
I think it's time to give a little something different
And show you how me and my brother living
Look in the kitchen in the fridge and there ain't nothing in it
The funny thing is-
Nah I'm joking
Things weren't that hard fortunately
And both my parents wanted me to be all I could be
I know I let them down that shit I sort of believe
I just want them to be proud
Sometimes I fall to my knees - Carpet burn
You know the Devil's hard at work
And heaven knows I'm trying yo, I put that on my hearse
On this earth I was born to be an artist that's where my heart is
Still I'm one second, and a father first
That shit was unexpected at 20-21
I still don't know what to expect in 2021
But I'll teach my daughter, Taliah, to take what's hers and bally up
And don't watch the face of anyone
See, many come and go but you're never on your own
'Cause you got me
I'll be your umbrella from the snow, I'll protect you from the cold
So stay reigning whatever the weather
Whether it's rain, thunder yo
And, oh
Closely observe the way I do things
Learn from my mistakes I be the blueprint
Look, I'm dealing with some things I didn't know was there
The shit's become apparent in my older years
I show no fear still, gotta keep it moving
I remember as a teen when I moved out
Or, rather, kicked out
Either way the shoe fits
I remember thinking "fuck I'm gonna do now?"
It didn't help that Mummy left when I was little, too
Grew up on tough love I took a different route
With no Sat Nav, not anything the kid could do
But scrap that fact, not using it as an excuse
See look, I don't ask much so I don't owe much
Don't receive a lot of love so I don't show much
Ain't received no luck
But life's what I make it so it's time I grow up
Penny dropping is a gold rush - every moment is treasured
Gotta move like a ruler - that's how progress is measured
And look back at how far you've come for reference
'Cause where you're stepping is a lesson and a blessing
If only for a second
