[Verse 1: Lennin Ledesma]
Yeah
There's a lotta things that I wish I never knew
When my father left my mother right before the age of 2
I never understood all the trauma that would do
Until I understood depression at the age of 22
Been living with this pressure cause I never knew the truth
I grew up kinda broke just enough to make it through
I never had a lot and there's so much to undo
I give you everything I got because I don't know what to do
I never had it easy, nothing in this life was free
Never payed the consequences unless that came with the fee
Consequentially I have no fucking clue where I would be
Without some struggle in my life, what would you do if you were me?
See I never had a lot, growing up that was the key
To unlock Pandora's box was like earning a degree
Never taking this for granted, not enough for me to see
Never not keep it a 100, never not gonna be me
[Verse 2: 704Flame]
There's a lot of things that I never had to do
But there's a lot more that I never had to lose
And when I say never, never that's the truth
I ain't never had no cash but I was never mad at you
I ain't never had no bag but I ain't never had no proof
That I would never sit and laugh at all the things I'd never do
I'd never get a track where we say we'd never move
Because we never had a bad day we never lacked a roof
Back a couple summers I was rolling off my couch
We had air condition running, but there was nothing blowing out
If there's somebody coming, we would show em out the house
Cause wherever there's a struggle somebody shows you what they found
Hoping for a cloud we sought bad weather omens
If you have better goings you don't know what that's about
Cuz when there was a rain there was an ocean on your brow
And you would stay so still as if your motions not allowed
Told to double down, hands were in my pockets
Ain't walk away from trouble I was only told what not to say
Fought my way here, and I'm thinking in a lot of ways
What money couldn't bring me, water serve to compensate
Watched a grown man, he was dancing to the rain
Stopped his own plans and now he answers to the pain
He took the planet on his shoulders and was trampled by the weight
But if I never seen him do it, there's no chance I'd be the same
[Outro: Scratches]
There's a lot of things that I never had to do
But there's a lot more that I never had to lose
The truth
I ain't never had no cash but I was never mad at you
I'd never get a track where we say we'd never move
Because we never had a bad day we never lacked a roof
