[Verse I] Y'all didn't see the sh** I did When I was just a little kid Stealing sh** for my friends Hoping to get away with it Then that one day I didn't I fell in sh** Facing probation A juvenile delinquent That's when I made the link with Music to show another outlet on life Instead of late out at night With the street lights Debating who to rob that night I guess you can say I just lost sight Of what your supposed to do Now I do this for you make it relatable So you to can turn the tables And do what it is you need to do I know I did it so that means you can too Find the positive path and make it your lane to live Instead of becoming a victim of the lame a** sh** I lost my dad's trust Sister was scared of me Shipped of to my moms Became her responsibility [Hook 2x] When I came back I knew that I Had a dream to pursue and I Had to prove to you that I Became a better man Than I used to be [Verse II] What I used to be Is what you're used to seeing Now what you use to see Is a product of me A human being Who's being a little foreseeing But not forcing you to see The meaning of my singing What I'm tryna say Is at the end of the day If you ain't got ya own path You wasting life away "Swing Life Away" That's word to MGK Don't bottle it up And let it take your life away Cause you don't know if today Will be your last one I remember sitting back in cla** Being asked once "Listen here son, you want to be a dunce Skip cla** for months And have no fun Wind up back here Be the one your family shuns" Then I found my career And I moved past them Take a look at what I've done In the past 6 months More than you have in your life If you f**ing had one [Hook 2x] When I came back I knew that I Had a dream to pursue and I Had to prove to you that I Became a better man, Than I used to be [Bridge] All I'm trying say is Embrace positivity And Erase negativity Become a better man than you used to be Follow these steps and I guarantee Your goals they'll be achieved Whatever they maybe [Verse III] You can do what you set ya mind to I know it sounds cliche but it's actually true I would of never knew that I could rap Then I finally sat down an put my words on a track After that as a matter a fact I relapsed Hearing all my friends saying that my sh**s whack f** that knew I had to come back And make a come back Better raps better tracks Better lines better rhyme schemes In the mean time They started supporting me Cause they seen I wasn't giving up as easy as it seemed An now they blowing up my phone cause they wanna see me Since I moved away from home for my dream I, never would of knew What a pen could do If I would of never found my lane And dream to pursue So what I'm trying get across to you Is become a better man than you used to be for you! [Hook 2x] When I came back I knew that I Had a dream to pursue and I Had to prove to you that I Became a better man, Than I used to be
