I knew at a young age what it was like to be gave up on  momma put me up for adoption right after day one 
Trent mason Brent yeah Tyler thems was my day ones 
Always walk around w my hoodie on like I'm Trayvon 
Head on a swivel so I never miss a beat 
Keep the ground beneath my feet 
Momma fights to make ends meat 
Workin so hard yeah some nights she doesn't sleep 
I'm sorry that I left you but I had to take that leap
I promise when I come back that you'll never have to worry 
I will provide for you the way you provide for me 
And imma ride for you the way that you ride for me 
And I would die for you the way that you'd die for me 
And I promise till I die imma always have your back 
You the Kobe to my Shaq 
You the Prescott to my Dak 
Yea 
Heart be so cold you the reason it ain't black 
And imma get you out Racine and we ain't ever lookin back 
Empty promises, all the plans that I had made 
They were ruined that day I got up and chose to walk away 
The pain be stalkin me, like a predator stalks its prey 
That pain will follow me, till they lay me down in my grave 
And I'm sorry to my mom and I'm sorry to my brothers, I hope you know the distance don't matter we got each other. 
And I know it killed my mom when I chose to live w my father but you can't make the right choice when you pickin one or the other 

out here on the west coast sayin it's  the best coast 
But you guys ain't here with me so I feel like it means less tho 
askin all these questions but this ain't no fuckin test though
Can't promise that I'll make it but I'll give my very best tho 
And to Trent, mason and Brent I'm sorry I missed graduation 
All this built up anger got me feeling aggravation 
Cause that day was supposed to be the day we were celabrating
I can't sleep at night knowing I'm the reason for separation. 

Shout out Tyler man, what a senior year 
Watching your games live, yellin, you couldn't hear 
And I'm sorry I couldn't witness you out there on that field. 
You a little brother to me and I promise that's sincere 
Knew you as a kid, look at the man that you become 
Aye, remember we'd get our older brothers mad and just run 
Till they tackled us, walked in, all covered in mud
I say we all family cause that shit go deeper than blood
Empty promises, all the plans that I had made 
They were ruined that day I got up and chose to walk away 
The pain be stalkin me, like a predator stalks its prey 
That pain will follow me, till they lay me down in my grave 
And I'm sorry to my mom and I'm sorry to my brothers, I hope you know the distance don't matter we got each other. 
And I know it killed my mom when I chose to live w my father but you can't make the right choice when you pickin one or the other 

I wonder what would happen if life took a different course 
What would happen if mom and dad never got that divorce 
Would I be happy instead of writtin this song about remorse 
But now I'm angry because I couldn't see it coming before 

 only one left to pick the pieces up off the floor 
Of a broken family that I witnessed since I was four 
I still remember the day my dad packed and walked out the door 
How can you love a child when you don't love each other no more

beauty in the struggle, I don't see the beauty 
I'm at the end of the tunnel but this shit be dark to me 
I be trynna talk to god but he don't wanna talk to me 
Keep my head, keep movin that's what the struggle taught to me 

 move with persistence because that be the boss in me 
I be walking on a tight rope this shit feel likes floss to me 
Life be sending so many shots the bullets get lost in me  
It be hard for me to trust everybody be crossin me 

And when I become a father my kids will always come first 
Till the day I fuckin die, till they carry a me in my hearse 
Gettin rid of all these memories killin it at the source 
And I'll have my kids saying my daddy's better than yours 
I said that I'd do better I mean that down to the core 
And I'm praying to my God and I'm kneeling down to the floor
That they'll  never have to worry bout mommy and daddy's divorce
And they'll never know the pain that i had writing this course  
Empty promises, all the plans that I had made 
They were ruined that day I got up and chose to walk away 
The pain be stalkin me, like a predator stalks its prey 
That pain will follow me, till they lay me down in my grave 
And I'm sorry to my mom and I'm sorry to my brothers, I hope you know the distance don't matter we got each other. 
And I know it killed my mom when I chose to live w my father but you can't make the right choice when you pickin one or the other
