Giovanni Banuelos - Role Model lyrics

[Intro: Gio.B] Gio.B That's right [Verse 1: Gio.B] Hidden stories are the best stories to ever tell I'm wondering how my brother isn't locked in a cell Or underground. I thank God for keeping him safe He should probably be dead for the things he did back in the day Now, I love my brother; I ain't tryna put him on blast But I think about our future if he didn't have that past We could've probably been closer. Man, we ain't talking We don't open our lips unless we speak about boxing Was it the d**, or friends that kept him from home? The marijuana had him paranoid, feeling alone Man, we love you; mom's trying to hug you But it's your little hooligan friends that you look up to Man I looked up to you, that's how it's always been When in reality, bro, you were my farthest friend But all your mistakes have taught me wrong from right I love you, though you'll never hear this song in all your life [Hook: Gio.B] You were my role model growing up in the household Seeing you struggle, it was a ha**le All the things you've been through But I wanted to be just like you You were my role model in the household Saw you stop smoking weed, that was a milestone And we're proud of you Brother, I looked up to you [Verse 2: Gio.B] Yeah, late nights - you ain't home Mom's up praying for the unknown Hoping that you're safe, we're hoping you're alive Tears running down her cheeks, rivers out her eyes She's worried, we're worried. Did you ever care? Never knew where you were, you could be anywhere Getting high with your homies, and you're underage drinking Hanging with gangsters, what the hell were you thinking?! You're in danger! But to that you're no stranger Tagging on walls, getting in fights to get out the anger And I understand, you grew up with a rough life But you need to stay strong to show your brother it's alright I looked up to you. Brother you're my role model So put down the blunt, put down the Patron bottle Beefing with other crews, putting your life at stake Think they care about you? You're just another soul to take With no hesitation, they'll take it in a second Happy to take a life like they're taking a blessin' And for what? (For what?) Three letters of a crew? So what will I become if I've looked up to you? [Outro: Gio.B] You were my role model growing up in the household All the things you've been through But I wanted to be just like you We're proud of you Brother, I looked up to you Uh, B.Truthful
