Ryan Brammeier - One Last Story lyrics

One Last Story 3-15 Verse: It's been a year since I tossed my cap with my graduating cla** It's been 5 years since 8th grade when I was rapping to my cla** All the times that's pa**ed; yeah, lil' dude was missin' out Guess it took me a while to understand what everyone else had figured out But then I made some changes Maturity came with wages Every now and then, rock stages I finally outgrew my phases No more of this depression sh** Back when I was on some Freshman sh** Shout out to the women that I had let me hit Life's been better since weed when I first messed wit' it That was years ago; back when I was in baggy clothes and thought my kicks were the coolest Used to focus on girls and do some foolin' Now it's money, family; the crew on my to-do list Focused on growin' up and supportin' my son instead of tryna be comin' up with new hits Know if I stick with the foolish rhymin' instead of grindin', I'll end up a deadbeat -useless f** it though -music calls for me; it keeps me sane Distracts me from reality around me that feeds me pain I just wanna put on a show; rock the crowd -maybe feel some worth It's the beats and sharin' my story that helps me heal my hurt Can you hear my words? //Chorus// //Before I step into the light Before I take a step in Hell If I don't get to make things right I got one last story to tell.// X2 2nd Verse: It's been 12 years since my adolescence was stripped away It's been 10 years since my mother had three kids to raise I was 5 when I told her I hate to see her breakin' down I'm her first-born; it's my obligation to make her proud But I can't help but feel like my music ain't the way to do it I got my three-year-old dependin' on me -so I know it's up to me; I gotta make some movement Tired of makin' minimum; lifestyles -I'm switchin' 'em Lately, it's been recklessness and foolish rap I've given 'em Damn, but I really want my story told If I don't make it up there to the gates, I'm sorry, Lord Wanna make a beautiful rose outta my thorny soul Adversities at a young age is what formed me cold But it's music that keeps my heart beatin' with every melody It's the lyrics I leave behind that will ensure some kind of legacy It's how people will revisit thoughts of me a more pleasantly I just want my name to be spoken with velvety Just want someone to remember me //Chorus// //Before I step into the light Before I take a step in Hell If I don't get to make things right I got one last story to tell.// X2
