lyrics

Long live my innocence
The way that life turned out I'd never picture it
Wishing that a lot of shit had gone different
Zoning out as soon as I begin to reminisce
I've seen way too many caskets close prematurely
Losing count of all the ones who had to leave us early
Police kicking down the door looking for my brother
He didn't have no charges on him still they chose to cuff him
Was only four but I remember it vivid and clear
A scared little nigga so I had ran up the stairs
Didn't know what happened I was young and unaware
All I know is one day that he wasn't there
And I was downtown speaking to him through a glass
When you witness certain things you tend to grow up fast
We grew up oh so fast
Went through so many changes as the years go pass

When you look into my eyes
I just wanna know if you can see what I've seen
All the pain and suffering that life brings
I may not be as innocent as I seem

Times is hard but we getting through it
All my pain I put it in the music
This world'll fold you in half but I won't give into it
Just find a way to rise above so I can keep it moving
Sometimes I just look up to God and pray for a solution
'Cause there be days when I feel like I don't know what I'm doing
I look at losses as a lesson so I'm never losing
Can't ever sell my soul 'cause I know where my heart is rooted
The hardships that I witnessed can't be the death of me
I don't follow no one need to figure out what's best for me
Moving steadily so I can reach my destiny
I refuse to jeopardize the future that's ahead of me
I got the vision I can see it with my eyes closed
What I look like going through life with a blindfold?
History just keeps repeating like a vinyl
Cursed generation I'm just tryna break the cycle

When you look into my eyes
I just wanna know if you can see what I've seen
All the pain and suffering that life brings
I may not be as innocent as I seem
