Brockhampton - When I Ball lyrics

[Dom McLennon] My momma said I didn't come into this world with tears Instead I welcome her with open eyes and open ears But came to grew a few things that couldn't be repaired We saw a future in each other, bend and hope the fear Some things you don't get to decide, it's just a phase you share I used to try and hold the weight, that sh*t was need to bear Watched uncles going on vacation for a couple years When they came back, they needed clothes, they had no souvenirs I picked up the phone, they callin' us from correction But nothin' is wrong, it's fillin' my heart with questions My momma is home, I'm followin' her expressions Her droppin' the tone, some things that she had to mention I nodded, I listened, she had all of my attention "When you on your own, there's gonna be some directions I need you to follow, and never make an exception" I love that she held me and wished I would be protected [Joba & Kevin Abstract] You always used to tell me I could be anything I wanna be But it's hard to see, it's hard to be You always used to tell me I could be anything I wanna be But it's hard to see, it's hard to be [Matt Champion] On my su*ker-free sh*t since I was a fetus Pullin' up at the doc' in a Mazda sixty-sixty And my dad was trippin' bad, hit the gas like car chase Light blue in the back, momma gettin' late for pay Dropped my sister at the bozo house, was twenty-three Sweat drippin' down the face side, river runnin' free Dark mornin' with the fog pourin' in and out the trees Every moment through they eyes Seemin', zoomin' lightspeed before me She lost, but still want tragedy Grittin' her teeth down to the root, pain, it like cavity Hold her hands like they glue, radio channel on news Valentine's with a X up on the calendar, they knew I won't be a fu*kin' baller like them posters on the wall A little stain can be the beauty in it all I missed out of trouble, must your luck was rubbin' off Stickin' to you like Mars, you my cage, you my rock Forever [Joba & Kevin Abstract] You always used to tell me I could be anything I wanna be But it's hard to see, it's hard to be You always used to tell me I could be anything I wanna be But it's hard to see, it's hard to be Here I go, I'm gonna spread my wings All grown up like go and look at me You'll always be (You'll always be) A part of me (A part of me) Here I go, I'm gonna spread my wings All grown up and blowing up, go look at me You'll always be (You'll always be) A part of me (A part of me) That's why A part of me, a part of me, a part of me A part of me, a part of me, a part of me That's why
