Calix Cent - 19-29

Описание: Far From Perfect [FREESTYLE 3]

[verse]
since a youngin'
i was fed with pessimism and it nurtured my anxiety
got accused of drug abuse in spite of my sobriety
so then i said fuck it, that's how they see me?
shii, alright then let's go
smoked my first blunt with people that i barely know now
young, drunk, and high witnessed time didn't slow down
the night was on fast forward, i can't recall
a conversation, just laughter and I went home
next came like the first didn't take me high enough
skeletons inside my closet, saw that shit kept piling up and
next thing you know, im involved in the rap scene
next thing you know, im performing front of rap fiends
next thing you know, the homie that I rapped with
got rehabbed in hopes to come back clean
but he didn't, and then another homie got imprisoned
bad decisions, it got me thinking "i should've listened"
but then again if i did that,
i wont be here writing these raps
say again if i did that
i wont be here writing these raps
POE

[pre hook]
Ooh, hey
I'm trying to decide
Ooh, hey
Which way to go
Ooh
Didn't cha' know, didn't cha' know
Knew the toll, but I would not pay
Didn't cha' know, didn't cha' know
That you never know where the cards may lay

[hook]
Time to save the world, where in the world is all the time?
So many things I still don't know, so many times I've changed my mind
Guess I was born to make mistakes
But I ain't scared to take the weight
So when I stumble off the path
I know my heart will guide me back

[verse]
listen
I spent my recent years sifting through my memories
I met a lot of people I considered to be family
and some of them I've awfully hurt quite regretfully
'cause I done let my ego and emotions get the best of me

aint looking for forgiveness, I just wanted to apologize
Im tryna grow 'cause learning and unlearning is a part of life
you cant expect no pain from a wound that just got cauterized
it's hard to find loyalty and trust and not to mention

i got way too many elephants to fit inside my room
im too late on my confessions, sinful straight out of the womb
rest assured im making tunes til you put me in my tomb
im the butterfly that Kenny pimped while inside the cocoon

and Im Cole when he found peace, rapping without validation
Im Russ when he was hungry making mixtapes in his basement
Im J.I.D. when he had zero dollars to his name, aint in it for the fame
i got too much on my plate yeah

and all I'm saying, if i skipped that,
well i wont be here writing these raps
say again if i skipped that,
well i wont be here writing these raps
