PRE-VERSE:

I'm not doing this for the fame not for the Lamborghinis

I'm not doing this to try to have the whole world see me

I'm not doing this to try to make a name for my city

I'm not doing this to try to be cool ya get me

I don't really care if I roll around with girls in bikinis

Ain't never really been much into fake sluts kissing on me

All I ever wanted was just for people to listen to me

All I ever wanted was just for people to listen so listen

VERSE 1:

All I ever wanted was just for my dad to say he proud

All I ever wanted was just for my mom to see me smile

All I ever wanted was a better life for my future child

At least a better life than me when I was a child

A single mother raising 3 boys all by herself

Not a single dime or drop of help from my dad after he left

He threw us out and he kept the house

Kicked us to the curb we lived on the streets

Mama working all the time just so we could eat

Reusing all the paper plates and all the paper towels

'Cuz we ain't never had the money to just waste around

Me and my brothers would make some arts and crafts

And try to sell them on the street just for some extra cash

Cuz we were struggling

Hoping that we would get picked up

Been living in a friends basement for the past 6 months

We would pray to God every single night for a better life

'Cuz at the time

That's all we ever wanted right

CHORUS:

That's all we ever wanted right

That's all we ever wanted right

VERSE 2:

And now I sit back

Just wondering where the day goes

Stressing about what path to go

Trying to get somewhere in music but that story seems like a fable

Every day I question if I'm able

If I'm able to be the man

That I wanna be

Live the life

That I wanna lead

My dreams just seem so far from me

Sometimes I just can't see

The light at the end of the tunnel

I feel like I'm sinking

All I ever wanted was a good life for my family

All I ever wanted was to inspire someone

Just at least one someone

Who's heard of me

This summers been irking me

Cuz I haven't really put shit out

But I'm still around don't forget about me

I just wanna make music to leave a legacy

But as of recent it's been hell for me

I just keep on second-guessing everything from me

But am I really thinking for myself or thinking of others

I guess that deep down

I guess that deep down

All I ever wanted was just to be happy

CHORUS:

All I ever wanted was

All I ever wanted was
