Was really feeling this instrumental so I just wanted to do a chill track to it explaining my first experiences with various things.
lyrics
Never did this before
Verse
Ya/ we was just a couple young bucks/ 12 or 13/ never really done much/ best friends since the age of 3/ always at your crib/ I bet your parents hated me/ rarely went a week without the two of us speaking/ planning sleep overs almost every single weekend/ we chilled at your space/ cuz at my place/ we always had yard work/ and had to listen my dad preaching/ I'm tryna chill/ build a fort/ ride bikes/ kid stuff/ just trying to live my life/ them late nights/ watching TV and playing games/ yet and still/ I remember when it all changed/ your older brother/ had a problem with him/ til one night/ he brought us home a small bottle of gin/ pine needles/ for all of yall that know what's up/ spent the last half of that night throwing up cuz
Verse
Yea/ at 17/ was a straight shooter/ but according to all them/ I'm a late bloomer/ I mean it's something that them rappers do/ they take a puff/ You try to pass and they'll laugh at you/ used to mock/ like you a pastor dude?/ come on man/ everybody sucking back but you/ I stood back and watched em pass a few/ til this shorty I was digging squeezed past the crew/ uh oh/ now I'm nothing but stressed/ I let the blunt pass by/ and she wasn't impressed/ it went around one more time/ I felt the bump in my chest/ it came to me/ all I did was look at it and said/ cool/ looked down/ and I took a deep breath/ said its now or never/ felt that burn in my chest/ dang/ now I'm coughing up a lung/ and everybody's laughing/ I'm just like/ yo what'd yall expect cuz
Verse
Fast forward couple years/ I was 22/ selling weed to pay the rent/ it was nothing new/ living with friends/ like they know what's up/ smoking/ drinking every weekend/ I ain't throwing up no more/ I probably couldn't even remember my first rhyme/ but remember when I sold coke the first time/ probably cuz it was the first and last/ these girls sniffing off my bible/ I just cursed and laughed/ man/ started thinking/ is this all really worth it?/ looked at life/ and I felt it wasnt working/ had cash/ is this really my purpose?/ checked Facebook/ and my pops sent me a sermon/ brushed it off/ wasn't in the mood for preaching/ but something tugged inside in my mind/ saying to peep it/ the dude said all that he needed to say/ hit my knees cuz I felt that I needed to pray/ but Father help me
