A Year Ago

(RJBaNKS on the beat)
[Chorus]
A year ago, if I told you I was good you should of believed me yo
I need all that time, that time to heal though
Yes I always kept it real, never took no pills no
(Never took no pills no) Never took no pills no
I always did it sober
Ride along I'm a little lonely stoner
Trapped in my mind, I don't think I am the owner
Sometimes we win, sometimes we lose
You gotta go up, you got to show up

[Verse 1]
A year ago, couldn't believe some of the shit I was going through
Lost my mind, lost my mind, lost you
I got eyes up on the sky now they stuck on you
Oh yeah they stuck on you
Are you watching over me?
Sometimes I can feel you up in this room with me
Just make sure you watch over this family
Cause they miss you (dad)
Cause they miss you (bad)
They just want you back

[Bridge]
Demons hover over me, they tryna' break off my focus
Ridin' around my city like yeah bitch I own this
I ain't been so deep I don't know how to show this
My old bitch hit me up, I left her on open

[Chorus]
A year ago, if I told you I was good you should of believed me yo
I need all that time, that time to heal though
Yes I always kept it real, never took no pills no
(Never took no pills no) Never took no pills no
I always did it sober
Ride along I'm a little lonely stoner
Trapped in my mind, I don't think I am the owner
Sometimes we win, sometimes we lose
You gotta go up, you got to show up

[Verse 2]
Brought up with this music since I was really young (I was young)
That's since I grew up and it don't matter where I'm from
I come from a place, if you don't make it then you're done
And my pops always told me count that money with your thumb
My pops in the sky so that's who I do it for
Got so many feeling I don't think I can ignore
I been layin' low but my mind wants to explore
Ima' always take care of my family until he open up
And in this world (world)
What we doin' in this world?
I was tryna' find myself
I got confused in this world
Don't even know why the navigator even move through this world
How am I supposed to show my kids the hate they abuse in this world?
Now I got my brother just 11 years old
How you supposed to grow up when you know your daddy gone?
That's ok cause I know I can me him stronger
Truth is really when he look at me and make me stronger
