(Verse 1)
I can't give up now
I pour my heart out
I thought I might drown
But I got the plug for that drug found
Love everywhere I never looked for it
Same page now but never booked for it
got a couple girls who I mistook for it
And they all lessons I took forward
After I gave so much
Pain felt I can't touch
D-MC but I RUN
at the sight of issues around trust
But I just found a girl who can't be touched
Rappers tryina follow her are suss
She be showing me like every one
Cause she love the D and we just laugh it up
That's a sleepover you'll never feature
Burn that like a bag of weed
Man i got high hopes to go to Indonesia
Kick back for real inhale the shisha
I just gotta sort my stomach out
I just pray that god'll hear me now
he must cause he came through
When I asked for love and he gave you
(Hook)
I went from somethin'
To nothin'
I went from nothin'
To somethin' again
Then everything
Somethin'
To nothin'
I went from Somethin'
Spent along time accepting things
(Verse 2)
Lord knows I've been cursed but I've been blessed
I just hit the doctors for some tests
She was telling me I need to rest
But I'm working overnight for my success
I've Thought I might die a younger death
So the way I live my life is highly stressed
Adding to my problems they connect
Like a vicious cycle underneath my flesh
7 stages of grief a week
My acceptance doesn't come with ease
I stay strong until it break me down
Then I build myself back up and I repeat
Didn't see this life that the D lead
Being something I wish I could go delete
Start again and get it large again
Without having something some perceive as weak
Guess it means a long acceptance speech
I see positives while I be incomplete
Only way that you would see defeat
Is if you cut my ankles off and watched me bleed
I've still got the luxury to breathe
Some too comfortable with everything
None of you have been inspiring me
Without heavy days you take it lightly
(Hook)
I went from somethin'
To nothin'
I went from nothin'
To somethin' again
Then everything
Somethin'
To nothin'
I went from Somethin'
Spent along time accepting things
(Verse 3)
I don't speak about this for attention
I used to never wanna mention
I just used to wanna try forget it
And go about my business no recession
but that ain't gunna work
when you got a chronic illness there 24/7
I just hope the pain of someone lessens
hearing this your life is worth extending
I'm sorry it had to be this way
But You know what they say no pain no gain
You know what they say is god made His
strongest soldiers bare the most weight So
everything he gave is no mistake
(Hook)
I went from somethin'
To nothin'
I went from nothin'
To somethin' again
Then everything
Somethin'
To nothin'
I went from Somethin'
Spent along time accepting things
Spent along time accepting things x3
