Life After (Recover VI) Lyrics

Long live Tommy

Rowdy Boy

Been ten years since the Rowdy Boys formed

Nine years since Tommy fell out of my dorm

Eight years since my last therapy sesh

Seven years since I left that apartment of horrors

Been six years since I dropped that video that got

More hate than I was bargaining for

Been five years since I hit rock bottom

Damn near could've landed me a Darwin Award

Been four years since I was last homeless

I ain't even have to be, I was that broken

Been three years since I began writing this novel

Now it's got dust, creaks when it cracks open

Been two years since the breakdown

Hated myself, never felt weaker than that moment

Been one year since self-love returned

Rowdy Boys never did leave me, this fam's chosen

I don't wanna let go, but I can't stay

Trapped inside my head, inside my damn ways

Let the dust settle, I've been on a rampage

Self-blame told me I deserve this damn pain

I don't wanna let go, but I can't stay

Trapped inside my head, inside my damn ways

Let the dust settle, I've been on a rampage

Self-love tells me I deserve a damn break

I deserve a damn break

My old man said that there's gonna be life before and life after

The healing process is no overnight fast one

There's unspoken words no open mics slams could

Provoke, crossed my heart and hoped to die faster

Burrowed me a hole, the social ties, slashed 'em

The hoes come and go, but no surprise that was

I'm older and know the source of my patterns

I hope that they won't just go through five tracks

And roll their eyes backwards

Poet lives matter

I know that I've spattered over-sexualized chatter at low hazard

I'm multi-tasking, soul is fighting back

As I hold it by the last thread, hope it climbs the ladder

My next album might just be your deciding factor

If I'm a dope rapper and hold a higher stature

I've let go of my past, immortalized, and that's the

Last Recover song, I close the final chapter

I don't wanna let go, but I can't stay

Trapped inside my head, inside my damn ways

Let the dust settle, I've been on a rampage

Self-blame told me I deserve this damn pain

I don't wanna let go, but I can't stay

Trapped inside my head, inside my damn ways

Let the dust settle, I've been on a rampage

Self-love tells me I deserve a damn break
