LIFE LESSONS Lyrics

When I was young, who knew what I'd become

Moving dumb, thinking it was all fun

Shouting matches with my mum, fights with her eldest son

What I inhaled in my lungs, dried up gums

What goes around comes around

All this negative energy took me to the ground

But I got back up, by finding my sound

My boy took to the max

Thank God he made it back

Couple mates I had to sack

On my mind while I'm writing this track

And I never went back

And I never went back

Had best friend look in me in the eyes

While he calculated, lies masked by the fakeness

To take advantage of my demise

My heartbreak, this betrayal I can't shake

Half these things I find out I just can't take

But all these lessons that I learned

Proved that I won't break

I won't fake the truth I had to undertake

Who are the real? Who are the fake?

Distinguished between the real and the fake

Just by the look in their face

And from all this shit I had to separate to elevate

Which got rid of the dead weight

Balanced my emotions while meditate

While I proceed to levitate

Which took me to heaven's gates

I learnt that when it comes to time it won't wait, it can't wait

Some called it fate, others called destiny

From young I knew I had the recipe

To bring out the best in me

It's all pain no gain

It's no name, no fame

No face, no case

Cause this is a rat race

And I'm coming for the cheese, the bread

Knew he was misled since the chat with feds

Wrote a statement, got you on the edge

From young I knew I was misled

I learnt most friends aren't on my frequency

Cause when you level up, they'll stop showing up

It happened frequently

So, to measure this pain I'll have to sever my veins

Never see you again, 'til I'm alleved of this pain

Was blind because of love, to see the truancy

This was more than than just you and me

Used my family, used my family tree

For that I'll burn all these burdens that I bleed

Looking out for them demons

Where they been I ain't seen them

Maybe pain was a feeling, for this I need deep healing

Got me feeling you, girl yeh, lemme speak some truths

Got my up late night, thinking of you

All these blues that were glued to my mood, got my head screwed

But I realised it was all because of you

The way they used, abused proved

I know your mum wouldn't approve

Don't take my kindness for weakness

I've seen shit that will leave most speechless

I know, I fucked up a get that

But why you go cheat on my only mate, I don't get that

And that's life, slaps you in the face

Now my prime focus is this paperchase

While I make up for my past mistakes
