Lyrics

My daughter called me crying said she missed me so I just cried with her
Somedays I get caught up in the mix but I’m still a real n—-
If you want it then go get it that’s how the rich get richer
N—– yelling put them on but never really get the picture
Cause s— I fight for this
Nearly gave half my life for this
Somedays I feel like I’m just right for this
Then a rap n—- a show me just how really wack the cycle is
My music like a gif cause n—– asking what do I type for this
Only person that I’m up against is me
I’m hella humble don’t mistake that s— as weak
Show my daughter if she fall it’s cool just get back on your feet
I’m here to give you all these tools and then my life a be complete
Show you what you dream is true
And what you want in life in reach
And now I gotta take a look at me and practice what I preach
You are who you wanna be and now i gotta take a look at me and practice what I preach

(Hook)
Sometimes life gets crazy
Somedays I don’t know up from down
Life gets so crazy
But I can’t turn my back right now

(Verse two)
Time waits for no man im living life like the first time I slow danced
I probably make mistakes but I’m still in the moment
If I f— up then I own it
If it’s me against myself then who really my opponent
See you don’t get it
Some things just be f—– wit my spirit
I’m just a lil overwhelmed my mom can hear it in my lyrics
But this the life I chose so I continue with the vision
I stay true to self and mind more of my business
Drink a lil bit more water plus my hair done grew some inches
Bed time stories to my daughter bout how I grew up in the trenches (yeah yeah)
Hard body ain’t no flinching
gotta get it how you live it
Who you are don’t make a difference (yeah yeah)
So never get it twisted
Life gone knock you off your pivot
Keep your balance is the mission (yeah yeah)
Put your self in the position
Stack your losses and you winnings
I’ll be back in just a min (yeah yeah)

(Hook)
Sometimes life gets crazy
Somedays I don’t know up from down
Life gets so crazy
But I can’t turn my back right now
