First Time On Earth - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

Been walking on a tightrope, juggling high hopes and reality

Just trying not to mess up, tryna keep my head up, fighting gravity

I can't outrun growing up, I still feel like a kid

Quick to judge the ones we love

Sometimes I forget

It's your first time on Earth too

And I hope that you know that I don't blame you

It's just pain that you were passing down

I'm older, and I see it now

It's your first time on Earth too

Orange bottles in the cabinet, tryna kill a habit that was killing you

Back then, I didn't get that you gave me the best that you knew how to do

You were far from done growing up when you had a kid

Quick to judge the ones we love

Sometimes I forget

It's your first time on Earth too

And I hope that you know that I don't blame you

It's just pain that you were passing down

I'm older, and I see it now

It's your first time on Earth too

When you pass through the waters, I'll be with you

Just 'cause I'm angry sometimes, don't mean I don't miss you

You had your issues and I had mine

Oh, I'd forgive you if we still had time

I was too young, I couldn't see

The world on your shoulders, you traded your dreams

For me, for us, is that just life?

Nobody ever gets everything right

It's your first time on Earth too (Oh-oh)

And I hope that you know that I don't blame you (You know I don't blame you)

It's just pain that you were passing down

I'm older, and I see it now

It's your first time on Earth too
