GRADUATION DAY

[Intro: DJ Mykael V & 350]
A long, long time ago, on graduation day
(Yeah) And this joint feels so special, don't you think?
Haha (Yeah), you live and you learn
But the most important thing is you live, you heard?
God always

[Verse 1: 350]
Wrong ways around that hold me down, I smell the pourin' rain
Livin' in the past, it has the grass upon the mundane
Haven't paid the dues I owe my mama, I been numb fades
Don't complain when trauma hits me, bound to happen some day
Just don't waste my sun rays
Couldn't face my own truth, dog, every day's not Sunday
Livin' ain't my strong suit, still finna make my son safe
Couldn't trip off loose screws, just popped two on Monday
I popped two on Monday

[Interlude: DJ Mykael V]
You know what's 'bout to happen, right?

[Verse 2: 350 & DJ Mykael V]
And I got through to my own head
Wanna mix my own route, still I crashed through my own way
Couldn't take off my noose, pop my news on runways
Five through my oh-ten, and I hold down my own ways
Feel it in my bones, I want them gone without my home's sake
Don't complain, I walk my life, I pull my own, I hold my weight
Who's to say I hold my fate? Who's to say I know my way?
Who's to say I fought the fight and broke them chains if not me
Could make them planes and feel the rain keep pourin' down without me
I felt the same and walked in shoes with defects from the factory
This bitterness we hold is not our own or for my family
It's created out of own need (What we doin'?)
The way they want me or the way I'm perceived
To make a lane, you gotta cut through some trees
Won't break no chains off my knees
Won't break no chains off my knees (Yeah, somewhere along the way)
The way they want me or the way I'm perceived
To make a lane, you gotta cut through some trees
Won't break no chains off my knees
I won't break no chains off my knees, yeah

[Outro: DJ Mykael V]
The road is narrow
But we gon' keep walkin'
Somewhere along the way
