Verse 1:
Man I was thinking just the other day how my life coulda went in a whole different way
If I ever woulda listened when they told me to stop
But I knew one day that I'd make it to the top
I remember living on campus I was failing out of school, just ooking for some answers
With my best friends different women getting drunk as hell
Time of my life man
But something was still unfulfilled
Started to wonder if there was any hope for me
Then I came across a quote that really spoke to me
Said if it wasn't for that money then what would you do?
The Next day I went and dropped outta school
And I know that shit was wreckless momma was at home and I know that she was stressing
But i felt something, knew I couldn't hesitate
But since I wasn’t a student
We got kicked off of section 8
Damn, as if your plate wasn't full enough now we had to make an extra 6 bills every month
Damn momma I don't know how you did it I guess that's where I get all my drive and commitment
We used to roll thru all the nicest neighborhoods
Window shop and sit and wonder how it feel to live so good
You pointed out the one you would like most
5900 park road I put it in my notes
Made a promise that
One day I’ll buy my momma that
Raised us both alone I can’t pay you back for all of that but I could damn well try you the reason why I keep my head to the sky singing
Chorus:
Like yeah my life been crazy
But that’s that shit that made me
Yeah my life been crazy but that’s that shit that made me
Verse 2:
And I know at Times it feel like shit won’t ever change
But you gotta keep your head up to see better days
You can’t rush that
Man you gotta trust that
They told me that I’d amount to nothing
Nah fuck that
I ain’t about to let the people take my worth from me
Ima put in work and be the man that I deserve to be
I ain’t gonna stop until this whole world heard of me
I got too much heart, you can’t take this out with surgery
This ain’t for me though
Nah this for my family
Crazy how it took a single mom to make a man of me
They hear me talk but I don’t think they understanding me
Why they so mad? I found treasure in a tragedy
Man how they gonna hate on that?
Tried to take me out the game but we came right back
Came back now I’m better than ever
Man I been to the bottom so I’m down for whatever
No matter the weather
I know that things are bound to get better
So when it rain I don’t cry
I just grab an umbrella
Then I’m well on my way
It’s been a hell of a day
But I’m still here for it so what more can I say
Except I’m blessed
Took too long for me to see that
I put too much emphasis on other people’s feedback
Then I listened to myself and realized I don’t need that
So you can keep that
No place I’d rather be at but
Right here with my friends and my family
Cuz I know they the ones that be there for me
10 years from now, where I’ll be?
Lord only knows
I just hope it’s close to 5900 park road
Chorus:
Like yeah my life been crazy
But that’s that shit that made me
Yeah my life been crazy but that’s that shit that made me
Like yeah my life been crazy
But that’s that shit that made me
Yeah my life been crazy but that’s that shit that made me
