That is too hard Don't let them Don't let them tell you who you are You've been scarred I've been too This ain't the time to talk about the feelings that I've been through all night So instead imma talk about a story that I've been through It starts with a little boy that had some issues He was the coolest in his class Had too much confidence he made the girls laugh This was around the time when niggas didn't rap It was probably grade 6 way back Way back when the days felt slow Back when he was having fun before he got old Cause then grade 7 came and hit him with a toll He's not sure how it happened he just wanted all the bad feelings to go But they didn't so this nigga started to act out Running away from home he didn't even know why he was lashing out Even the thought of death reached his mind a couple times at this point Don't even check what's on his iPod at this point At this point he was angry as f*ck Looking for any little thing that could fix him up He used to really try in school but ever since he ain't really give a f*ck It seemed like everybody else was going up, but this nigga was stuck But then grade 8 came through His aunt gave him a laptop and said let's see what you do He watched a lot of Pewdiepie and lots of RedTube Eventually a moment came when he was in his mom's room She said we're going over to your Oma's we're leaving soon 20 minutes later we was in the caravan and vroom We pulled up to the drive way, I started looking sideways I heard something on the radio you should have saw my face 96.7 was playing a song called animals by Martin Garrix it was amazing He told his mom to turn it up that nigga was going crazy And when the song was over this radio guy started saying that He started saying that the guy that made that song was 16, 16 Flying round the world already getting all his dreams Cause at this time it was so hard to believe He opened up his laptop like right away and googled how to make beats He stole this software that he found online it was called FL Studio He started making shitty beats they sounded so terrible But he was having fun So all the pain and all the anxiety that he was going through was more bearable He looked depression in the face and said boy I ain't scared of you He started making beats for 7 hours straight And don't forget that at this time he's still only in grade 8 Oh man, grade 9 hit At this point this nigga felt like he was really flying He barely had the feelings anymore that he was dying But than his best friend started smoking weed and said man you should try it So he tried it, and he can't even lie man that nigga really liked it But that's when everything came burning down like all the joints that were beside him Eventually this niggas in his best friends house hiding Grade 10 comes and this niggas smoking a half an ounce a day Sitting beside a speaker looking for all the lit songs to play Playing Lil Wayne and Future with no thoughts up in his brain It wasn't the weed that was the problem But he told himself oh well it's just something that can't react well He started selling all his shit just to get more and thought maybe he should sell Maybe he could sell more at this time to pay for music Thank God he didn't do it Grade 11 came and hit him like a truck All the friends he used to have he didn't have no more cause he was out of luck He would just see them in the hallways and all he would say is whats up It was a really uneventful year man it was really rough Keep in mind that no one knew that when he was going home a nigga was making songs Doing every little thing to feel alright cause a nigga was feeling long His whole life was FL Studio and hitting on the bong He told himself that everything's gon be alright and somethings gon happen soon so stay strong Something happened shortly after that in grade 12 He started to snap like every single girl he was bored as hell And there was this one girl He took her on a date and asked her out on the first date He only did it at the time first cause he was thirsty At first they were getting real flirty on a Thursday But 4 days later fell in love in the worst way They basically lived together, did everything together Rain and shine always by their side right through all the weather At this time there was never another time where he felt better He took the girl to prom and he graduated he was way too happy He was way too happy He had a lot of friends now and they were in the backseat This whole towns playing this one song called Her And they were running up the streams like it was a damn track meet And a few months later man this nigga gets signed to a motherfucking label He gets flown out to L.A with 15k up on the table And keep in mind he's got a girlfriend that's cuter than some maple Man it felt just like a dream man it felt just like a fable When he flew back to Canada it felt like he was in a parallel universe Started acting like an asshole and gave his girlfriend the one thing in the world that she did not deserve Started acting like an asshole and made that girl hurt And I - f*ck give me a sec, alright All he would do is ignore her and just work Only time he thought about her was when she threatened to leave Remember the aunt that gave this boy the laptop She died cause some health problems she got His ex was there to help him with a lot She was the best person in the world And this boy didn't thank her for shit She brought him to his doctor he was on a bad trip He started swallowing pills so he could finally feel again But he still treated everyone the same so she quit She was done with all the bullshit that she put up with Drove up to his house at 10 AM with her best friend She woke the boy up and the second he was up She said (inaudible) I can't do this anymore boy I think I fell out of love He couldn't blame her man he knew it was his fault This goes out to anyone that has someone they love Go right all your wrongs man, go fix that stuff Or one day they won't be there like they once was Don't let them Don't let them tell you who you are You've been scarred I've been too You've been scarred I've been too You've been scarred I've been too
