Lessons Brewing Lyrics

I got to really puffin' and smokin' up on my drag

Exhaled deep breath made the mistake of saying what a drag

Feelin' like some anxious teens we got into some anxious things

Talked about how times have changed but I guess we never really grew up the same

Jimmy Bobby Alex Johnny always living in the hood

Gina Trevor Ronny for them life is always good

Gina talks 'bout private schools trips overseas

While Johnny's momma works double shifts hardly sees him breathe

Bobby's pops got locked up system's tight grip

Trevor's dad's a lawyer never had to skip a trip

Alex grew up fast dodging bullets on his street

Ronny's summer house where the sand meets his feet

Jimmy's eyes reflect the struggle dreams full of fight

Gina's carefree laughter basking in her light

We shared the same block same sky overhead

Yet the paths we walked where our stories bled

Conversations deep but misunderstandings shown wide

Gina says "Why don't you just move? Better life better side"

Johnny's silent holds back tears

There's pain in his eyes

Trevor's talking stocks

unaware of silent cries

Bobby recalls the nights

With sirens in the air

Ronny speaks of parties no worries and no despair

"Just work hard" Trevor says meaning no harm

But Bobby's scars run deep life's twisted charm

In this circle diverse paths intertwined

Each story unique each burden defined

We see the world through different lenses framed by fate

Yet in this moment we contemplate relate

Times have changed but roots run deep

In the shadows of our past memories we keep

A letter to the world from this motley crew

Understanding now what we never knew
