Ej Laflare - 35 Bucks lyrics

[Break: Ej Laflare] 35 bucks Mama, pay my bill Know I never do, though I say I will Know you got my back, you don't ever need to say it Even if it seems like I don't appreciate it (x2) [Hook: Megan James] I'll not get old If I dig with my knees, if I grind on my teeth I know from the attic of me From the bottoms of cleats, from the wayward it seeds [Verse 1: Ej Laflare] When I think about it, I just go into a rut And yeah, maybe my life wasn't that tough on the outside But the inside's messed up After a while, I had just had enough No one ever knew how bad I was treated Someone to talk to was the only thing I needed Felt like I was tortured for no reason And when I told people, no one would ever believe it Everybody always thought that I was crazy It's amazing that all of this made me a better man than I was And it worked out, though they say it never does Even though my childhood wasn't that great I never really had a lot of friends who'd relate And everything that I went through, never really left So I had to get away, cause I knew that that was best [Bridge 1] Now I'm trapped in a trap, and these n***as ain't forgetting They wanna see me locked in their own little prison Everything they did, I admit that it hurt And the fact they were friends, that really made it worse (x2) [Break + Hook] [Verse 2] Back against the wall, I'm out of options Out in public and I really feel lost At a restaurant, at the end of the table Suddenly, I got bu*terflies in my navel With a bunch of people, and I know I don't belong For some reason, I start to really feel wrong Mom told me "Never let them affect you Cause that's the only way they'll ever get you" I sat with that advice for years Now because of that, I can wipe my tears And accept myself for who I am Now I'm in a better place, and I really like it here If you feel you're in trouble, I will lend a hand And do all the hard work from 10 to 10 If you never really felt like you blended in I am here for you, from begin to end [Bridge 2] If you're trapped in a trap, and your n***as ain't forgetting And wanna see you locked in their own little prison If there's a time that you ever felt fear Just remember that I went through it, and I'm still here (x2) [Break + Hook]
