2022
Yeah
Back when everything was okay
2017 taught faith
Riding on them Walmart Skates
We had never made no mistakes
Just kids never no stakes
See lightning
No thunder
Used to wonder what niggas were up to
I saw progress
Peeking under
But they kept that under the cover
That year meant much to me
My fam heard everything
I had the tools, the keys
They gave their trust to me
2018 I learned the most
Spent half that year on the road
Listening to Kids See Ghosts
Hoping I could really meet them both
Looking up to the stars at night
Thinking how the hell will I get that close
Thinking what I gotta do for this
Thinking how can I hold the globe
Back in '19 I was a fiend
For the life
For the dream
It was never what it may seem
Counting all the stars
Watch 'em gleam
Been them nights I had tried to reach Christ
But I was too hot for the advice
Luckily I had found my honey
Then we had 2020
21 I had an epiphany
Had to get rid of all of the misery
Everything you said I took it literally
Who's the joke
Are you kidding me
It was that first trip out to L.A
I made the choice
No more pretending
To save my dad from the headache
And tell my mom no more stressing
I'm him
Back when everything was okay
Still haven't felt this way
Kicking on them Walmart Skates
We had never made no mistakes
Just kids never no stakes
22
Set sail
They was praying
That I'd fail
Still true
To this day
Had to go
Might as well
See I
Went through hell
For this song
Just to tell
My wrongs end right here
My wrongs end right here
Everything I went through last year
Seen bout everything that I feared
I can say I don't no more
Everything I need is right here
Look at all of this as motivation
End goal is crystal clear
I'm THEMBA lets start right here
Can't wait till we all okay
Still haven't felt this way
Riding on them Walmart Skates
Told y'all it was not a phase
Themba really is the middle name
Indiana Michigan border
Crossed it more times then the priest
Head lying on the concrete
Shall I never fall to defeat
If I ever fall on my knees
If I ever fall on my knees
Will you take care of me while I bleed
While I bleed
While I bleed
