[Verse 1 - Jace]
I don't talk to my dad bout sh**
Bout life, and all this
All about my future and where its headed
About self-destruction and about my own obsession
Wit this crazy dream I had when I was seven;
About how I'd get it, bring it to fruition
Make the people listen, to my own story
Pain and glory, I hope they see the vision!
Lord, I hope you have a heart for forgiveness
Cause Jesus knows I've been out here sinning
I just hope that it makes a difference
I just hope that it makes a difference
My mom called and said she was proud
I always knew she was
It was just cool, to hear her say it out loud
I tend to feel alone sometimes
Even when I'm in a crowd
I get lost sometimes
But I think that I found, I think that found, that...
This is the greatest story that I've ever told
This pain is like the sweetest story I've ever known
[Chorus (Life Anthem)]
Don't trust these n***a's
Trust yo struggle
Don't trust these b**hes
They don't love you
Don't trust these n***a's
Trust yo struggle
Don't trust these b**hes
Trust yo struggle
[Verse 2]
This song is to 19 year old me
Back in 08' on P street
Find me, Curtis, Johnny, Key! David, Ceej
Trying peace up for some food and weed
Wit no place to go, no where to be
My phones off, and got on dirty jeans
Hop on all them trains, just trying leave
Saying f** a follow, we trying to lead
Saying f** a job, that ain't what we need
Need illions for our families
Paper printed on our family trees
God bless the ones we lost as causalities
Seven years ago, it might be hard to see
With the pressure on it, and it's hard to breathe
But some advice between you and me
I know just how it be, so
[Chorus(Outro+Life Anthem)
Don't trust these n***a's
Trust yo struggle
Don't trust these b**hes
They don't love you
Don't trust these n***a's
Trust yo struggle
Don't trust these b**hes
Trust yo struggle
