I'm not doing this for the fame not for the Lamborghinis
I'm not doing this to try to have the whole world see me
I'm not doing this to try to make a name for my city
I'm not doing this to try to be cool ya get me
I don't really care if I roll around with girls in bikinis
Ain't never really been much into fake sluts kissing on me
All I ever wanted was just for people to listen to me
All I ever wanted was just for people to listen so listen
All I ever wanted was just for my dad to say he proud
All I ever wanted was just for my mom to see me smile
All I ever wanted was a better life for my future child
At least a better life than me when I was a child
A single mother raising 3 boys all by herself
Not a single dime or drop of help from my dad after he left
He threw us out and he kept the house
Kicked us to the curb we lived on the streets
Mama working all the time just so we could eat
Reusing all the paper plates and all the paper towels
'Cuz we ain't never had the money to just waste around
Me and my brothers would make some arts and crafts
And try to sell them on the street just for some extra cash
Cuz we were struggling
Hoping that we would get picked up
Been living in a friends basement for the past 6 months
We would pray to God every single night for a better life
'Cuz at the time
That's all we ever wanted right
That's all we ever wanted right
That's all we ever wanted right
And now I sit back
Just wondering where the day goes
Stressing about what path to go
Trying to get somewhere in music but that story seems like a fable
Every day I question if I'm able
If I'm able to be the man
That I wanna be
Live the life
That I wanna lead
My dreams just seem so far from me
Sometimes I just can't see
The light at the end of the tunnel
I feel like I'm sinking
All I ever wanted was a good life for my family
All I ever wanted was to inspire someone
Just at least one someone
Who's heard of me
This summers been irking me
Cuz I haven't really put shit out
But I'm still around don't forget about me
I just wanna make music to leave a legacy
But as of recent it's been hell for me
I just keep on second-guessing everything from me
But am I really thinking for myself or thinking of others
I guess that deep down
I guess that deep down
All I ever wanted was just to be happy
All I ever wanted was
All I ever wanted was
