Cam Meekins - Wasn't For You lyrics

(feat. Geoffro Cause) Yeah, uhh Page one, lost in the mix Waking up early, she raise five kids Can't find direction, struggling to work But she keeps it all bottled up, gotta stay alert Cause one kid's got school And the other's got a playdate Damn sure she make 'em stand up straight Don't let 'em see what's going on behind the scenes Two divorces and an unpaid mortgage And where they grew up, she would hide it She felt so bad, I see it in her eyes but It's alright now gotta keep it pushing Dreams of traveling she just couldn't do it The damn kid keeps f**ing up in school The teachers kicked him out He was acting like a fool But she believed in him Got him piano lessons She didn't care about the grades Made him independent He didn't thank her one time Throughout all that But unconditional love That's what you call that And one day everything will be alright Cause your son will be a star And you'll all shine bright [Hook - Geoffro Cause:] I've been rising to the top And I've been making these moves But I couldn't do that sh** If it wasn't for you And now I'm out there getting higher You know I gotta do what I do Yeah I couldn't do that sh** If it wasn't for you Ayo, and if I could I would do it all different The growing up, yelling at you in the kitchen Thinking I was right about everything And wishing I could leave and never come back Anyway, I packed my bags and walked out Seventeen tryna see what it's about The big city, all of the lights on You used to yell at me for Leaving all the lights on And then I thought at eighteen I had it figured out Neglecting you had thirty years on me No doubt Advice was some sh** I didn't wanna take I had to do it all myself And make my mistakes You understood that, gave me my space I found music, you said "Great" It could have been anything You'd still be proud Talking about me to your friends Intentionally loud I never thanked you one time Throughout all that But unconditional love That's what you call that And one day everything will be alright Cause your son will be a star And you'll all shine bright [Hook - Geoffro Cause:] I've been rising to the top And I've been making these moves But I couldn't do that sh** If it wasn't for you And now I'm out there getting higher You know I gotta do what I do Yeah I couldn't do that sh** If it wasn't for you [x4] A lot of times I lie in my music Stretch things out to Make more of a movement But this right here is the truth I wouldn't be anything If it weren't for you [Hook - Geoffro Cause:] I've been rising to the top And I've been making these moves But I couldn't do that sh** If it wasn't for you And now I'm out there getting higher You know I gotta do what I do Yeah I couldn't do that sh** If it wasn't for you
