[Intro]

Check, check. 1-2, 1-2

Yeah

That sound's right


[Verse 1: KNoWTe]

People seem to like when I rap about my problems

The only problem is I like to pretend that I don't got 'em

Doesn't solve 'em

Only builds 'em up

Until I'm ready to snap and feel like giving up

I'm not even a friend to myself

So I like to keep my distance

Just for instance, when I see a mirror I don't see my image

They say I'm acting different

My love is inconsistent

The world is feeling twisted

Like when the beat is clipping

Distortion of my vision

Please don't say I'm gifted

Cause then I'll take that ribbon

Use it just to end it

Then I think of my brother, like will he go through what I did?

All we have is each other, so then I think I want to live

But it's hard now, they're a flight away

The other is not okay

So then I gotta stay strong for my family's sake

Miss another birthday cake

But I got paid, so great

As long as I get that "A,"

Then it makes up for what I missed

But that's just what I wish

So then I sit and reminisce about

The time's when home was where we lived

Now we're all a part

You say home is where we are

So tell me why I fall apart every time I see a shooting star


[Chorus 1: Maxlorie]

Everything that I did

And everything that I do

Everything that I worked for is in the past

Everything that I did

And everything that I do

Everything that I worked for is in the past


[Verse 2: KNoWTe]

I know I got my father's anger and my mother's stress

Sometimes I never feel attached and live inside my head

Sometimes I wonder was it worth it all the tears I shed

You know my biggest regret is living with regret

I don't want to waste a single second on what I don't believe in

Sorry if what I don't believe in is the thing you're teaching

I must have missed your chapter or forgot to read it

I didn't hear your question, may you please repeat it?

(Please repeat it.)

What do I want from my life?

What do I want to achieve?

Kind of funny, thought I had it figured out, 16

6 years later instead of chasing a dream I'm chasing paper

Cable, stable, label, not a major label

But you labeled me and my family half-breeds

(Dam)


[Chorus 2: Maxlorie]

Everything that I did

And everything that I do

Everything that I worked for is in the past

Everything that I did

And everything that I do

Everything that I worked for is in the past


[Outro: Maxlorie]

(Shooting star, yeah)
