808

Hard times, hard life, been through it all
Got to get up, now it's my wake up call
Past ain't good, it is what it is
Remember I was young and life was shit
Feds banging on my doors like it's an 808
I didn't do shit, why the hell are you here?
Leave me alone, let me live without fear
You know what's mad? I wasn't even there
Bothering my mum who did more than care
Gave me support worth more than a grand
Dad at the time, didn't understand
Shouting and screaming, saying "fix up son"
Tears down my face, I'm breaking down
"Mental issues ain't real", he says to me
Hurt me even more, he just couldn't see
It's changed now, we got through
We both grew, mum and dad, I love you
Never told you, even though you did
Can't express in words so I put it in music

I don't what to say anymore
I just need you to let me grow
I don't what to say anymore
I just need you to let me grow

Now I know, I'm misunderstood
Rare breed, neither bad or good
Say what you want, it really don't matter
I know myself better than any other
Sometimes I'm lost all up in my head
It's all good, at least I'm not dead
I'm here thinking 'bout the bigger picture
Thinking 'bout life, lost in the future
Dreams so vivid, see it so clear
Powerful visions, I could even disappear
That's what I need, just to escape
Blazing up the green, trying to medicate
It's not good but I learn through pain
Wash away my sins, got so much to gain
I'm playing my life like it's just another game
Reckless, risky, best way to live

I don't what to say anymore
I just need you to let me grow
I don't what to say anymore
I just need you to let me grow
