Lessons - KnowMads

Give my heart hit record I’ma try my luck

Outside the bar on tour see em lining up

On the road doing shows putting flyers up

Everybody wanna ball like it’s flyers up

Who the last one you call when your time is up

Changed the way I saw the world, when you died abrupt

Wish that you could see how far we took this rhyming stuff

Was it destiny or pride that divided us

I only thought about myself when I was high on drugs

A clear sign that it was time for me to wizen up

Couple people gotta call and make reparations

How you working towards dream that you never chasing

Don’t associate with people who be catching cases

Or you bound to end up headed to the same places

Hard to manifest a plate that you never tasted

Love and life’ll love you back, guess it’s sorta basic

One thing that I learned bout life

People change homie people lose sight

Some people probably never see the light

But keep shining baby you gon be aight

Let the world come awake to the healing

Full of hate, can’t relate to the feeling

Try to hide when they faced with the light

But life is what you make it baby, we gon be aight

Yeah we gon be aight from the 1st to the 3rd hustling

Break bread from my first to my third cousins

Lighten up, now I know that my turn coming

Nobody really concerned with tryna learn something

Can’t stress though I guess it’s aight

Dope first 16 ‘cept the rest isn’t tight

Getting crowded in the kitchen y’all ain’t cheffing it right

Sounding generic, built off conceptual hype

My shit official as Adidas ain’t no testing my stripes

My mind moves like a cheetah’s when I’m blessing the mic

And I’ma be a new teacher through these lessons in life

In a school full of believers ain’t no questions alike

What sight to be seen as we ride for the team

We all tryna grow to trees to provide for our seeds

Said I’d cry visine by the time I’ma teen

Kept my eyes on the prize as we rise to our dreams like

One thing that I learned bout life

People change homie people lose sight

Some people probably never see the light

But keep shining baby you gon be aight

Let the world come awake to the healing

Full of hate, can’t relate to the feeling

Try to hide when they faced with the light

But life is what you make it baby, we gon be aight

I know it gets hard to keep promises

Baby I know that you moved on

You told me you tired of waiting

Damn I know I made you wait too long

But sometimes I think of the days that we spent

And I wish we could dream on

All I got left is the lessons

You left me with nothing to lean on
