[Intro]

Yeah, alone with my thoughts

Let me share 'em witchu, right

Uh

[Chorus]

They say the good die young, so the bad die old

Guess we somewhere in the middle, so just pray for my soul

All I wanna do is right, but all I'm seein' is wrong

And I'm tryna stay strong but its taking its toll, and I

Ain't no better than you, so when you playin' this song

And you feelin' how I'm feelin', just know, you ain't alone

Every day you wake up, another day that it's on

So we gotta wake up 'fore what we seein' is gone, is gone

[Verse 1]

Yeah

Since the beginnin', the mirror of what I've written

Real has been my description, ain't never been nothing different

Love me or hate me, just know it's me you lovin' or hatin'

So there'll never be an issue whichever judgement your makin'

High school, I knew who I was, I had direction

A leader, I ain't follow nobody, always progressin'

So every girl in high school a ho was the perception

'Cause lame niggas lied on they dick to get acceptance

Takin' a girls purity to get a sense of security

Now she insecure, she get older and she ain't sure of me

And I ain't sayin' I'm an angel or saint

But one of these days I might need her to be wifey, but she can't

'Cause now she don't trust niggas, all the time, fuck niggas

'Cause she thinkin' if she don't then no nigga gon' fuck with her

Both male and female, lost in misdirection

It's a crazy world when you live in a misconception, for real

[Chorus]

They say the good die young, so the bad die old

Guess we somewhere in the middle, so just pray for my soul

All I wanna do is right, but all I'm seein' is wrong

And I'm tryna stay strong but its taking its toll, and I

Ain't no better than you, so when you playin' this song

And you feelin' how I'm feelin', just know, you ain't alone

Every day you wake up, another day that it's on

So we gotta wake up 'fore what we seein' is gone, is gone

[Verse 2]

Yeah

Yeah

She at the university, tryna fit in, blowin' intuition

Was a good girl back at the crib, but now she different

Blowin' trees, she was never into it

It's the influence of her roomy, she wit' it 'cause all her friends do it

Back home she knew people, now she with these new people

She don't know herself no more, now she feelin' like two people

Niggas in the dorm, 3 AM, thinkin' they cool people

Tryna keep up with this bullshit can consume people

Talkin' loud, wrong crowd, y'all fuckin' the same dudes

Feelin' like you can't move, it's painful, this ain't you

You stay loose, cranberry juice and Grey Goose

Can't shake ya head at them hoes, 'cause you doing what they do

Niggas play you, too far gone, who gon' save you?

Funny how shit could'a been if you'd have stayed you

Out of control on the path of misdirection

It's the crazy life when you live in misconception, for real

[Chorus]

They say the good die young, so the bad die old

Guess we somewhere in the middle, so just pray for my soul

All I wanna do is right, but all I'm seein' is wrong

And I'm tryna stay strong but its taking its toll, and I

Ain't no better than you, so when you playin' this song

And you feelin' how I'm feelin', just know, you ain't alone

Every day you wake up, another day that it's on

So we gotta wake up 'fore what we seein' is gone, is gone

[Verse 3]

Yeah, yeah

The coolest nigga in high school, was exactly that

The coolest nigga in high school, time passed right by you

Past the days of glory, keep tellin' them war stories

Leachin' off baby mamas, he never set his priorities

Already findin', his best days is behind him

The hoes that he used to fuck is what defines him

Sleepin' on different couches, got seeds in three different houses

But if you ask about 'em he barely know nothin' bout 'em

I don't want him around me, all I know about him

Is he broke and he brag about being in and out the county

And since when is not being shit the shit

When there's only one life to live, I hope you're listenin', huh?

Still alive, done livin' at twenty-five

Stuck in the hood, but never got out 'cause he never tried

Look, check your brother, but check yourself first

The truth hurts, but we can all change after this verse, and that's real

[Chorus]

They say the good die young, so the bad die old

Guess we somewhere in the middle, so just pray for my soul

All I wanna do is right, but all I'm seein' is wrong

And I'm tryna stay strong but its taking its toll, and I

Ain't no better than you, so when you playin' this song

And you feelin' how I'm feelin', just know, you ain't alone

Every day you wake up, another day that it's on

So we gotta wake up 'fore what we seein' is gone, is gone

[Outro]

'Cause shit's real

It's too real
