They say the good die young, so the bad die old Guess we somewhere in the middle, so just pray for my soul All I want to do is right, but all I'm seeing is wrong And I'm trying to stay strong but its taking its toll And I ain't no better than you so when you playing this song And you feeling how I'm feeling, just know that you ain't alone Everyday you wake up, another day that it's on So we got to wake up before what we seeing is gone
[Verse 1: Jon Connor] Since the begging, the mirror of what I've written Real has been my description, ain't never been nothing different Love me or hate me, just know its me you lovin' or hatin' So there will never be an issue with what judgement your making High school, I knew who I was, I had direction A leader, I don't follow nobody, always progressing So every girl in highschool a ho, was the perception Coz lame niggas lied on their dick, to get accepted Takin' a girls purity to get a sense of security Now she insecure, she get older and she ain't sure of me And I ain't sayin' I'm an angel or saint But one of these days I might need her to be wifey, but she can't Coz now she don't trust niggas, all the time fuck niggas Coz if she don't she thinking then no nigga gon' fuck with her Both male and female, lost in misdirection It's a crazy world when you live in a misconception
[Hook: Jon Connor]
[Verse 2: Jon Connor] She had the university trying to fit in, blowing intuition Was a good girl back at the crib, but now she different Blowin' trees, she was never into it It's the influence of her roomy, she with it coz all her friends do it Back home she knew people, now she with these new people She don't know herself no more, now she feeling like two people Niggas in the dorm, 3am, thinking they cool people Trying to keep up with this bullshit can consume people Talking loud, wrong crowd, ya'll fucking the same dudes Feeling like you can't move, this painful, this ain't you You stay loose, cranberry juice and grey goose Can't shake ya head at them hoes, coz you doing what they do Niggas play you, too far gone, who gon' save you Funny how shit could have been, if you had stayed you Out of control on the path of misdirection It's the crazy life when you live in misconception
[Hook: Jon Connor]
[Verse 3: Jon Connor] The coolest nigga in high school, was exactly that The coolest nigga in high school, time passed right by you Passing days of glory, keep telling them war stories Leaching off baby mommas, he never set his priorities Already finding, his best days is behind him The hoes that he used to fuck, is what defines him Sleeping on different couches, got seeds in three different houses But if you ask about him, he barely know nothing bout em' I don't want him around me, all I know about him Is he broke and he brag about being in and out the county And since when is not being shit, the shit? When there's only one life to live, I hope you listen huh? Still alive, done living at twenty five Stuck in the hood, but never got out coz he never tried Look, check your brother, but check yourself first The truth hurts, but we can all change after this verse
