[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
