Now and Then Lyrics

Uh

I said once upon a time it was a youngin who was stuck in the dirt

He had a dream but never put in the work

Plus he fighting through depression ain't no question he goin smile when it hurts

Looking for himself now he on the search

Tried to push him back its soo ironic how we always end up in first

Steady preaching time to take them to church

He ain't neva trust nobody they the same so now we staying alert

We goin make it and I know it for sure

And now we got it going on he been working all along

I sit back and let them judge but I won't let them do me wrong

Cuz I know we going up and we goin make it to the throne

And I'm tryna stay away but won't nobody leave me lone

He been sitting all alone feeling pain up in his soul

Got me feeling like a dog cuz we goin make it to the bone

He been wearing crooked smiles like he listing to Cole

Steady acting like he cool but don't nobody really know

Look uh

And if I tell you that I love you know that I won't neva leave

Locked up out that house so many times but now I got the keys

Steady switching like the autumn they be falling like the leaves

They got me feeling like Rod Wave I wear my heart upon my sleeve and I can't sleep

Got me feeling like I'm Mario my brothers goin leap

Soo much anger in my heart it make it hard for me to sleep

All that fire in my heart it get to booming like a tree

Ima bounce out with my brothers no surrender no retreat

Look I don't gotta write, promise you it's all up off the dome

And I can see the light, cuz I had to get up my zone

And yeah I had to fight, yeah I had to struggle on my own

I was living in that house but I ain't never had a home

Swear I'm always on my own

And I don't communicate so I be talking to the stones

Uh

Everybody copying I promise they my clones

I'm feeling like taking they goin send me to the throne

And now I'm really getting grown you can hear it in the tone

Really do it for them nappy headed kids who got a fro

Cuz ain't nobody watching for the people you should know

I'm looking for my neighbors I been going door to door

And even in this life of sin

I'm trying to repent but they keep looking at my past but don't see I'm a better man

So I'm grinding every day so I can get them dividends

They wanting me to slip but I won't fall I gotta win

It's now and then
