[00:03.98]Verse 1:
[00:11.65]Although I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
[00:15.22]I fear no man but God as I take my last breath
[00:17.56]Used to beg them to stay and they'd just ask me to leave
[00:20.25]You dont know what strugglin means until they shatter your dreams
[00:23.21]Keep moving, no matter if them ******* wanna doubt you *****
[00:26.10]Never been fed with a silver spoon, what about you *****?
[00:28.90]From the craddle to my ************' grave *****
[00:31.54]Heard my momma cryin' homie, I ain't been the same since
[00:34.13]Blue skies turnin' white, theirs blood on the pavement
[00:36.82]And all they ever ask me is "Phora how did you make it?"
[00:39.71]Not "where did you come from?" or "tell me your story"
[00:42.68]Theirs a difference between cats who want something from and for me
[00:45.49]But I ain't trippin, they tellin me to settle down
[00:48.13]Aha but i ain't settlin' for nothin'
[00:51.02]And the people i hung around would just let me down
[00:53.66]Eventually I was the only one i trusted
[00:56.43]Real talk, I try not to show emotion
[00:58.92]Alot of **** inside me i won't put out in the open
[01:01.56]I hope i never snap, Lord knows that im destined for greatness
[01:04.60]But those ****** keep testin my patience, I got
[01:07.14]Chorus:
[01:07.35]Pain in my heart, tryna not to let it show
[01:12.27]They ask me if Im ready, I never said no way
[01:16.49]But you really never know
[01:18.37]Pain in my heart, tryna not to let it show
[01:23.40]They ask me if Im ready, I never said no way
[01:27.51]But you really never know
[01:29.39]Verse 2:
[01:34.36]I just close my eyes and imagine
[01:35.64]And just try to fly away
[01:37.36]Aiming for tomorrow but we dying by the day
[01:40.63]Ill be the first one to say i cry I ain't ashamed
[01:42.81]They keep tellin me to smile but yo im tryna find a way
[01:45.60]Losing touch to myself tears droppin to the pavement
[01:48.14]Honestly I dont know how much longer i can take it
[01:51.34]And I know how it feels to lose all everyone that you love
[01:54.75]And start questiong the one up above
[01:57.39]Like why do all the good people gotta die
[01:59.78]And why these young kids victim to a homicide
[02:02.67]I dont know but im still searchin for the answers
[02:04.65]Haven't smoked since my grandfather died from cancer
[02:08.11]So dont take offense when I dont hit the blunt with you
[02:10.60]Cause theirs a reason, it dont mean that I dont **** wit you
[02:13.34]All It means is that you dont know what Im going through
[02:15.78]Dont ask to talk about it, its not something that im open to
[02:19.45]Behind every smile is a number of tears, told myself that i have nothing to fear
[02:23.82]But little did i know when you keep all that pain inside
[02:27.23]You'll be your own worst enemy til the day you die
[02:29.72]Chorus:
[02:30.12]Pain in my heart, tryna not to let it show
[02:34.74]They ask me if Im ready, I never said no way
[02:38.90]But you really never know
[02:40.74]Pain in my heart, tryna not to let it show
[02:45.66]They ask me if Im ready, I never said no way
[02:49.83]But you really never know
