[Intro]
Adele
There ain't no gold in this river
That I've been washin' my hands in forever
I know there is hope in these waters
But I can't bring myself to swim
When I am drowning in this silence
Baby, let me in
Go easy on me, baby
I was still a child
Didn't get the chance to
Feel the world around me
I had no time to choose what I chose to do
So go easy on me
[Verse]
I was back to back doing shows, young wild run away
Staying on the interstate, I ain't have nowhere else to stay
Uncle D came and told mе
We ain't got no more time to wastе, ni**a let's get it jumping
My dreams right in front of me, I hit the ground running
I been grinding 5 summers, just chasin' this money
I watched the whole city doubt, turn nothing into something
The same b*tches used to doubt me when they seen me coming
Yeah, 'member they was smiling and laughing
'Member I ain't have sh*t, winning all this mad sh*t
They say you reap what you sow
They say karmas a b*tch
[?], I had good intentions
I was a boy tryna' be a man
Trapped in a cold world, my heart in my hand
Fresh out of high school paying bills and this sh*t on my own
I'm built off hard times, that sh*t made me so strong
It's scars on my heart and they made me so cold, so cold
So many childhood friends who got stuck at that road
[?]
Now he stuck all alone
I wonder do they know, how fast we had to grow?
Our parents only children, bless our granny soul
And I ran up some millions, but I want some more
I'm sorry I am not the same, we haven't met before
And I said I would never change
It got hard to hold on
Looking at my daughter face, soon as I get home
I did a lot of fighting, me, myself, and my demons
It's hard to sleep at night, so I be constantly leanin'
I told a lot of lies and broke some hearts, yeah I seen it
It's hard to go to sleep I see your face when I'm dreaming
Told the family I was crazy and I need some help
She say "I'm toxic", I tell her "You're not perfect yourself"
Just go easy on me, when you speaking on me
[Outro]
Adele
You can't deny how hard I have tried
I changed who I was to put you both first
But now I give up
Go easy on me, baby
I was still a child
I didn't get the chance to
Feel the world around me
I had no time to choose what I chose to do
So go easy on me
