I had it all, lost it Kicked into the darkness Had every opportunity But missed every target Fell into a struggle Mixed with liquor and a conscience That yelled at me every time I ran out of options (Lost Trouble) Guided by a broken dream of imposters Guardians watching But been blinded by my bosses Trapped in a circle Of these snakes when I be sharking When all the world's a stage I was afraid of being… honest (Somehow made me…) MODEST… HUMBLE…AMBITIOUS…CAUTIOUS… PATIENT… but really too much precious time is wasted GRACIOUS… Just enough to keep my head out of the basement To face the facts of life I never thought then I would say this… STILL MODEST… I been so close that I can taste it So much adversity A ton of bricks hit the pavement EVASIVE… AND PERSUASIVE… I had to be brave (AUDACIOUS) To overcome the obstacles… AND TAKE IT! (Yuh) I had it all, for real… My family used to be proud… Too focused on the slums instead of do right I lashed out… And sold drugs to friends that ended up snitching To they parents Then they parents hit me up… And all it made was extra errands… I ain't trying to be cool… I was just doing too much trusting… My love for other people Turned to every type of fucking… When I could have been a husband But I read the wrong books Hooked on phonics I promise… This isn't what it looks MODEST… HUMBLE…AMBITIOUS…CAUTIOUS… PATIENT… but really too much precious time is wasted GRACIOUS… Just enough to keep my head out of the basement To face the facts of life I never thought then I would say this… STILL MODEST… I been so close that I can taste it So much adversity A ton of bricks hit the pavement EVASIVE… AND PERSUASIVE… I had to be brave (AUDACIOUS) To overcome the obstacles… AND TAKE IT! (Yuh) When all passion, hatred, and delusions die with racists And planes crash to sacrifice the time that would replace this Time equals money but all that money all was wasted… And that final stroke of courage Grabs the mic and says, "Let's face it!" I been stressed out But I haven't met a tear lately I guess this medication makes me rather have a baby Even maybe we can bounce back And focus on the daily And overcome all misfortunes And focus on a plan b Or c… or d… It's Cam Carter people Cheia
