[Verse 1: Ausar]
Trying to even the odds
Only left me feeling odd
Just tryna heed to the call
Plaques we got hung in the hall
Cover the holes in the walls
We never showing no flaws
Got no problems admitting my faults
If I′m busy it isn't my fault
Say I′m working I pull that from the vault as a
Scapegoat for things I gotta chalk up
I just wanna put us on the map
Pursuing the consumers and the racks
Caused my inner workings to adapt
Lovers turned to lessened interactions
Distancing myself as benefaction
For the goals at the end of my detachment
Figured we could meet up on the backend
Once the boy become the main attraction
Know a few might go
That's just the price to assume my role
People in my corner that I fell out with
When I could've fixed it I moved right on
Deemed em distractions like they was the issue
Wished them the best but that′s not logical
They doing well but you can′t congratulate em
Naw, they don't even wanna talk you
[Hook: Ausar]

[Verse 2: Chris Patrick]
Cross country my MO
I was on tour performing demos
Pops had just got out surgery
Knowing good and well I shoulda been home
I was just concerned with tryna get on
New place on the map to put a pin on
Ain′t seen my mom in a month of Sundays
Boy we streaming church so could you get on
Think back on the times when my impact was missed
When the music was looked at as passion for bliss
All I wanted was for them to take me serious
Overcompensation turned to accomplishments
I admit it I did diminish a bit of attendance
Spent with the people I love just for a little more recognition
When I come up in sentences during family get together
Now that they see the vision it's bitter sweet
Sheesh
Maybe I did tweak
I was in real deep
But they didn′t feel me
Used that as my excuse
Reckless and recluse
Till I got a text through
Mom bout my aunt while soaring out to ATL
Heard she had a stroke now I'm torn she just asked to see me weeks ago
Pull up to the ER
First thing she asked me was how the music going
Wow trophies trophies trophies on the wall
Reflecting who the greatest of them all
My World Cup is empty fill me up
Went and bet the house they called my bluff
What′s the point to celebrate alone?
What's the point if ain't no peace at home?
What′s the point to travel across the globe
If I come back and I don′t have no souls?
[Hook: Ausar]

[Verse 3: Ausar]
I done gave my all ain't got nothing back
Jerome Bettis begging to run it back
Mahomes said they turned to a wrong exit off the highway
My whole effort burnt out no coming back
Coping mechanism is an open keg of liquor
Being sober′s a decision that'll put me in a place
Shouldering admission of the folk I know I′m missing
Make amends on the road being great
Convoluted memories
I'm producing energy stronger than all inclusive
Supplying you with amenities
Survival is our only biggest enemy
Dog eat dog
I watched my dawg get dog walked to a dogpound
A dogs go to heaven
Praying that God can see his whole anagram in my dog now
My family playing God down
Mom′s still working
Pops still working
Chauncey working
Aunties working
I been surfing round the globe with it
I been searching through my soul with it
I been patching up my love life
Learn to love life
Take control with it
Ship been sailing with some holes in it
Live with failure had to grow with it
Sacrifice is not a byproduct
It's the way I move to see my goals lifted
[Hook: Ausar]
So congrats my boy (Congrats my boy)
