Yeah Shit it sucks growing up man Shit changes You lose touch with people You lose friends along the way but You just gotta keep going man Yeah
[Verse 1:] Man it sucks growin up Gotta let go of the past Not every childhood friendship is gonna last People grow up, and move on for better or worse All we prayin for is that it doesn't end in a church We used to go on L rides like the cities hours But now we all got real jobs, and shitty hours And those the lucky ones who earn a check The ones who don't sit at home all day and blow percusets Cause I seen a lot of people on that path And it sucks cause they almost never come back It's a sad truth the life it's ruthless right? As a kid we never thought we could lose the fight Shit we all have big dreams back in middle school But real life is played by different rules And reality hurts so why I always keep a bag of the purp And always pray for the best until they put my ass in the dirt Word
[Chorus:] Chances thrown Nothing's free Longing for Used to be Still it's hard Hard to see Fragile lives Shattered dreams
[Verse 2:] For the teenage mothers with a baby to feed For the kids who think a pill bottles all that they need We all hit a rough patch Get back on your feet We only got one life (One life) And it goes on but now with one less N.E.V tatted on my bicep Shit Nick I miss you man But I guess that fate just had a different plan I thought me and you would be kickin it in 20 years Talkin about our wife and kids over a couple beers And now you're not here And it's hard to even say in a song But shit I thought about you every fuckin day you've been gone AG, Shawn and Glock we all getting through the pain But just know that Norwalk ain't ever gonna be the same You even had faith in me back when we was kids You said id get big back when nobody did So I'm a do this rap shit for the both of us now Cause I know you still up there holding me down So brotha save me a spot if something happens to me Until then Enjoy the show from the balcony seats I love you man
[Chorus]
[Verse 3:] For the kids who've lost friends and family in the past For the kids who messed up and wanna take it all back We all hit a rough patch Get back on your feet We only got one life (One life) If you got a dream you gotta get it man At least try Shit, you may never get a second chance As a kid we never thought that it could happen to you For better or worse, it's how I'm here rappin to you Keep in touch with all your homies And your eye on the prize We all slip and fall down, push your shit to the side Only got one life, better live while you got it Cause only one thing for sure Tomorrow is not promised
[Chorus]
[Outro:] And that's it Ya know? Life goes on Gotta keep focused Nicky We all miss you down here brother But we'll see you though Yeah
