[Intro: Geemmac]
Sometimes I question why I keep going, its hard
[Verse 1: Geemmac]
I was born with my umbilical chord tied around my throat
One minute more and f** I would have choked
One minute would have pa**ed and I would have been the past Why daddy wasn't there is something I never asked
Mama was crying but no she wasn't sad
She was crying out her joy cause she was proud of what she had
It was her and I but she didn't give a f**
She wiped her fears and she wouldn't give up
Then father met son and it was a different type of bond
He promised himself that he wouldn't give up
Or distant from him
He broke his promise who knew his addiction was stronger than him
And now I'm growing up
And life is getting tough
Im growing up to fast and dam i've had enough
My life I would exchange for another if I could
Nothings really changed I've just realized the truth
[Chorus: Bryan August]
Sometimes I just wish that that minute would have past
And sometimes I just wish that I never would have last, Sometimes I just wish that I would of choked
Insecurities underneath tell the truth in all my jokes
[Verse 2: Geemmac]
Sometimes I just wish that I'd swerve of the road so slam on the gas and my emotions I Implode
Fall asleep to arguments and ready to explode
I am tired of this life so I swerved of the road
But I stopped on the break cause that minute didn't pa**, Theres a reason Im awake I'm just haunted by my past
But I wipe my fears and I won't give up
Just like my mother I can't give up
So understand theres a reason for my life
Theres a reason i don't drink nor pick up the pipe
Theres a reason for my silence theres a reason why I fight
Theres a reason I don't sleep every single night
Cause now i've got big dreams and its all that I can see
My mom said I'm unique and its all that I believe
And i want to pay her back for every single day
And every single night my dad put up a fight
So I wipe my fears and i got to continue
People claim they're there but they never contribute
I'm giving it my all and they ain't give me nothing back
Friends want to see me fall, well at least behind my back
But they understand I don't do this for them
I do it for my dad I and I do it cause its me
The reason is my past the fact that I breath
And for the people who always f**en believed
[Chorus: Bryan August]
Sometimes I just wish that that minute would have past
And sometimes I just wish that I never would have last, Sometimes I just wish, that I would of would of choked, Insecurities underneath tell the truth in all my jokes
[Verse 3 : Geemmac]
But that minute didn't pa** so I will succeed
Theres a reason for my past theres a reason why I breath, Theres a reason why I rap I have scars underneath
The beat is always there and I have so much to speak
A tree of broken branches and a kid with a dream
A kid with a pa**ion and a kid who believes
A kid who is strong but he's just sentimental
But he's more than just a kid with rhymes and a pencil
He's come a long way
He's pouring out his heart
But every body hates and it tears him apart
But he won't give up, he won't give in
He wipes his fears and he gets up again
So go ahead and talk sh** behind my back
Tell me that I s** and wish me bad luck
But always have in mind and never forget
That I do this for me and I don't do it for you
[Chorus: Bryan August]
Sometimes I just wish that that minute would have past
And sometimes I just wish that I never would have last, Sometimes I just wish that I would of would of choked
