[00:15.04]Chorus
[00:23.71]I know what it's like to feel so hopeless
[00:27.31]But you gotta keep going man
[00:28.94]Just stay focused, just stay focused, yeah, just stay focused
[00:34.37]Focus on the good ****, forget about the past
[00:36.81]Focus on what you got, not the things you never had
[00:39.40]Cus it ain't that bad, as the world keeps spinning
[00:42.90]Either you dyin' or you livin'

[00:49.91]But i told them "get to know me first yeah, I'm still human"
[00:52.76]Grandpa asked me "what the hell you think you doing?"
[00:55.29]I told him "i'm making music, you should take a listen
[00:58.09]I know i ain't the best but i ain't talking about no *******
[01:00.93]I'm talkin' about no cars or cooking crack in moms kitchen
[01:03.47]I'm talkin' about life and everything that's in my vision"
[01:05.96]Man i swear I'm so thankful for the things i was given
[01:08.96]Speak on what i learned, hoping i can make a difference
[01:11.50]Speak to my boy that keeps going back to prison
[01:13.89]At the end of the day you gotta pay for your decisions
[01:16.73]I swear man i miss him, never get the chance to visit
[01:19.47]Ask what my goal is, it's just to keep living, just keep living
[01:23.64]Yeah, it's just to keep living, just to keep ..

[01:56.61]Gotta watch his back he said our police don't protect us
[01:59.50]He ain't't got a girl cus he thinks he gon' get set up
[02:02.25]All that's on his mind is makin' that chedda

[02:31.31]I try to stay away from drama, cus everywhere i go now
[02:33.90]Been so many places, but it's nothing like my hometown
[02:36.85]Heard some people hate us here, they don't even know us
[02:39.65]Yeah I'm still a kid but these ****** need to grow up
[02:42.14]And to tell you the truth, I'm the only person i can think of that's
[02:45.18]Buying kids from the hood, cheese burgers and sodas
[02:48.18]I just wanna make a change, man i swear
[02:50.77]The money and the fame ain't why I'm here, i been working so hard
[02:54.12]Y'all should be glad for me, instead of everyone turnin' they back on me
[02:58.54]But it's alright, yeah it's alright
