April 17th Lyrics

I am tryna make it out from the place I was born

It's hard to make it big from the place I am from

I wish it was as easy as filling a form

I give it all to my parents for how the raised me

I went into the world and saw how it made me

Out here trying get what's meant for me

This music is my heart this is the life I chose to live

Destined to be more than the man my dad was meant to be

No disrespect cuz he is the one who taught me how to live

Right on this spot is hard to make it to the top

I am staring at the top from the fvcking bottom

No hand to help you up they don't wann see you up

They all wanna see you fall

When you fall they want pick your bones feed em to their dogs

Why be a dog when you be a goat

Oil dey my head? I told myself no

Wetin dey my head is a crown made of gold

Always look up to yourself never look down on your toes

The journey maybe far no one will paddle your boat

You just need to be bold no soul needs to be sold

From a dark place with a backpack full of grace

When you feel depressed just put your hands together and say say say

Hail mary full of grace show me the way

Say, say

Hail mary full of grace show me the way

Uhh

I grew up in a place where they see money as everything

You ain't got no money you are a just a walking dead

You make money they still want you dead

I don make the tea oluwa where the bread

I look around me i see no competition

Me and you first we ain't got the same vision

I get the job done I don't need supervision

This is my dream not a television

I had this dream when i was only 15

I started living it when i turned 17

I ain't getting any younger, i'm getting older

Plus one in every April 17th

From a dark place with a backpack full of grace

When you feel depressed just put your hands together and say say say

Hail mary full of grace show me the way

Say, say

Hail mary full of grace show me the way
