Yo
Yeah
Growin' up I had a life that I miss
Easy going, late for dinner was the only crime that I'd commit
Schooled at home, yeah, I was different than the average kid
Pushin' wood to get a sponsorship with friends was sick
I'd go to church more than once a week
Like I said, I was different, and my friends could see
But I quickly learned a building ain't gon' make you meek
The closest people to me lived in that building and still controlled me
School would get out early, man, I couldn't wait
I gotta say, my favorite days were in May
The start of summer break
But growin' up I had my fair share of heavy weight
Losing people that you love can make a human hate
Yeah
My grandma passed away before I was nine
We all have a different way to cope
Crying was mine
But listen don't you ever crack under the pressure of trying
Cause every battle that you win is molding you inside
Some people might call it adversity
I call it fuel
Cause when the road gets rough and I can't see
It powers me through
Knowing that I've been through a lot and I made it
Knowing that I'm strong and can take it
When growing up gets dark and hard to do
It, it powers me through
Yeah
Yo
I got my first job, savin' up my paychecks
Bought myself a Civic, drivin' like a reject
Listen, I was insecure
My personal health had me feelin' like I'm livin' in a personal Hell
I didn't want to show my face, but man, I had to learn
I didn't want to socialize, or man, I knew I'd get burned
Is this life I'm livin' something I unknowingly earned
I never understood the reason for my physical hurt
Too many people feeling helpless
I'm better but I felt it
I dealt with heartbreak by being well fit
Relentless
They never understood the place that I was comin' from
Workin' harder than 'em
Listen, it was in my blood
This song is buried emotions I never opened up
People see what they wanna see, if it don't line up then they gon' judge
I took a breath, but never once did it fill up my lungs
The feeling of a heavy heart is somethin' they can't budge
It's harder to think and harder to see if you aren't livin' in the moment
Freedom is peace
I figured out the reason I was always draggin' my feet
I'd see myself inside the mirror and tend to see me as defeated
Funny ain't it
Yeah
I was pushin' through
I was quiet, never spoke but I was makin' moves
If they didn't want me then, then stay away from the fruit
Cause I've been growin' ever since
I got the proof, and I've been takin' root
Some people might call it adversity
I call it fuel
Cause when the road gets rough and I can't see
It powers me through
Knowing that I've been through a lot and I made it
Knowing that I'm strong and can take it
When growing up gets dark and hard to do
It, it powers me through
Yeah
And here I am, now I'm twenty-four
I've dropped eight songs, I got four more
I ain't really close to family, that's a closed door
Too many things have hurt me to pretend anymore
I'm self funded
Workin' by myself is a chore
A low budget is current, but I'm workin' for more
They know nothin'
The future holds an album for sure
For what it's worth, makin' it work hurts, but it's a certain cure
Yeah
I found my other half, it's love is true
What ain't stable at the bottom's guaranteed to move
I promise I've been through a lot, but I ain't bullet proof
Growin' up in life's a shock, you gotta power through
