Andy Ramos - Moments (Truth or Truth) lyrics

[Verse 1: M.Wade] Grandparents just got off crack So don't mind me if I get off track That's why I'm to talk about these things Cause as soon as they relax it feels like they'll relapse And I couldn't do a thing about it Remember the days I tried to make it out Now I'm tryna get myself through college And in one piece Never knowing when I'ma eat But if you rap I gotta take you out Dreaming of them 5 course meals Trying to stay on this course to a mill A lot of y'all can't relate to this pain that I feel This what y'all wanted though right Authentic so you know I'm real Uncle Snick back into the pen Only writing letters with a pen My aunt is such a thoroughbred She give that n***a money whenever he going in I feel bad for the kids though Cause he got a son and 3 daughters But the youngest barely know of him And things are only getting worse My cousin sell d** the same day he go to church How's that for some irony? How's that for some honesty? And I ain't even done yet How about the time my mom slept around on my pops cause she was upset Turns out it was the landlords brother We got lower rent Yea n***a we got lower rent Pops retaliated, they been together for 20 years they might as well get married Cause y'all work each other up, no procrastination But I hope they never let it go Cause they be my inspiration Yea they gotta know I just can't believe how far I've come From the Red Roof Inn, to the basement, to another one And now we back on the street Till my Aunt Deanna opened her home on Zarker Street Man I'll never forget that I never regret that May she rest her soul, sad thing is She never worked out, but she always seem to keep a six pack Damn, that's true sh** I never get out and just do sh** Ironic how I was never into puppets but I'm always pulling strings Like I'm tryna play acoustics Ha, all I want is some c-notes Me and the fam both But ain't nobody perfect I stare into the mirror soul searching But if you judge me get a better case I'm still tryna find a better place For not only myself I remember all that Section 8 This ain't for n***as who can't relate I mean 2 floors Maybe 2 beds, I never did debate As long as I had somewhere to sleep The smell of marijuana pops stay smokinghis weed I never missed that, all I did was get used to that Inhaled it so much I even thought that I was smoking it with em But you don't know me like you think you do Another person's envy is another person's gratitude Pray for like, 10 n***as in jail but only got a few And that's real sh** Jada behind the wheel sh** Charles Manson n***a, sometimes I wanna k** sh** I wanna k** sh** Sometimes I wanna k** sh** Any of y'all haters feel this? I know y'all n***as feel this All I talk is real sh** Truth for truth, no lie for lie Looking out for you baby, eye for eye But it's moments like these With friends like these I wouldn't have it any other way Life's been bad as of late But it's bound to get better Things are beautiful when they coming together I'm talking family, rap, they telling me to relax How can I chill when the flow's on the map? My team's full of wolves cause we travel in packs Told myself all these moments would be stories one day Told myself all these moments would be stories one day I hope I see the glory one day [Bridge: Andy Ramos] A lot are saying I've changed but those who say that are just those who don't want me to succeed. I have not changed, I've become better. So if better is not what you're looking for from me then stay away from me cause I dont need you. You're not holding me back. I've worked too hard to allow this to happen. But just know you support me now or never. Dont be around my life when I'm actually making a difference. Cause success is a question, and dont come ask me about it, when I have all the answers. For now though take these words and listen... [Verse 2: Andy Ramos] Dont ever try to judge me, without being in my shoes So this verse gives you my Nikes, so you could get a better view Of things that changed my life or gave it a little shape Noticing what went wrong, and learning from my mistakes Being from the projects, struggles became apparent The worst thing of it all, went through it with just a parent My father was never there, thought he would come, that was absurd And let me take "father" back, he doesn't deserve the word Cause as far as I know, a father is there for who breeds Instead he gets another family, forgets we exist and leaves I dont really care now but as a kid it meant a lot I grew up with expectations, that I knew I had to drop My mom did a great job but right now I just figure There were just those moments, I needed a father figure... For example, I had problems with the girls and I did not know who talk to. I could talk to mom but she's a girl too. So I mean I had no one to go to. There was my brothers and all but I wouldn't open up to them. I always figured if my dad was there, I would be more open With that being said, I've learned to leave him in the past And I'm not saying that I hate him, but I really think I hate him I'm just like one of my parents I'm just happy that it ain't him Cause he's a deadbeat, who just left me as a ba*tard Not wishing d**h upon him, but maybe he could die faster? Nah, I dont mean that , what I would really like to happen Is for him to live on and regret not being there Thinking about his kids and seeing it wasn't fair Cause no kid deserves to grow up without seeing their dad There would be times when they need him, those times they'd be sad They would sit up in their beds And think of why he left or not even why he left, but why he hasn't showed And where he has been this whole time as his son begins to grow
