Lyrics
You know that was me, stayin' up, puttin' work in Makin' sure my family was good, we were hurtin' Dad lost his job, bank tried to take the house Mom lost her mind, I was tryin' to make it out You know that was me who came through when it mattered You know that was me turnin' loss into laughter Divvy up the cash, makin' sure we all eat Bring us all together, makin' sure we all speak Wasn't gettin' sleep, I was focused on the prize Heavy smokin' weed, drinkin' liquor every night The girl I was in love with wasn't just for me I tried to show her things she didn't wanna see My parents were embarrassed, hated seein' them like that They carried me this far, it's time I put 'em on my back My songs are breakin' through, my car was breakin' down Yeah the pressure grew, I had to make it now The awkward conversations, and the fights increase The days were chaotic, so the nights were my peace Locked in like woah-oh-oh Woah (Woah) You know that was me, stayin' up, puttin' work in Makin' sure my family was good, we were hurtin' Dad lost his job, bank tried to take the house Mom lost her mind, I was tryin' to make it out You know that was me who came through when it mattered You know that was me turnin' loss into laughter Divvy up the cash, makin' sure we all eat Bring us all together, makin' sure we all speak Tried to keep the peace, I was hidin' how I felt Only twenty-three, takin' care of things myself Payin' all the bills, everyone was broke All the while still, tryin' to be the GOAT I'm lonely all the time, but I've always held my tongue It's been six years since I was a brother or a son My father lost his voice, he knows money speaks He didn't have a choice, had to come to me The awkward conversations, and the fights increase The days were chaotic, so the nights were my peace Locked in like woah-oh-oh Woah (Woah) You know that was me, stayin' up, puttin' work in Makin' sure my family was good, we were hurtin' Dad lost his job, bank tried to take the house Mom lost her mind, I was tryin' to make it out You know that was me who came through when it mattered You know that was me turnin' loss into laughter Divvy up the cash, makin' sure we all eat Bring us all together, makin' sure we all speak Cut off everybody, I ain't got no time to party Tryin' to get these fans and build a motherf*ckin' army 'Cause no one's gon' save us, but me, so I got us I said that I would, I gotta keep my promise (Yeah) Missed out on a lot, yeah my 20s were a blur My mind was always focused on the future, that's for sure But I sacrificed, yet again and again To make sure my fam doesn't go through that again (For real) Ooh-oh, I've been on my own, my own (Ooh-oh) Ooh-oh, I've been on my own, my own (Ooh-oh) You know that was me, stayin' up, puttin' work in Makin' sure my family was good, we were hurtin' Dad lost his job, bank tried to take the house Mom lost her mind, I was tryin' to make it out You know that was me who came through when it mattered You know that was me turnin' loss into laughter Divvy up the cash, makin' sure we all eat Bring us all together, makin' sure we all speak
