Lesson Learned ft. 4LEXANDER Lyrics

Life present me with no situation, I ain't choose or run

They ask me 4LEXAN, where you been, you ain't doing none

My baby said I'm proud of this new person that you become

Just working hard to provide for the two of us

I got evicted from my own family, this ain't new to some

Leave my girl stranded at the crib to get my money up

She crying, I ain't see you like that in six hours, love

Some real shit that's been difficult to overcome

I ain't seen you in four days now

My money put on a couple pounds

But is it worth the consequences of putting me down

And now it's feeling like I've been dragging you around

This ain't it, this life ain't never been perfect

I've been getting hands-on with my problems like a surgeon

Been presenting different lessons, but I guess I ain't learning

This ain't new to me, I ain't a virgin to these versions or verses

So what do I do from here

I made it this far from the praises and the cheers

And I ain't get a congrats, I guess I'm living in my fears

I ain't feel victory in my choices, but I was intrigued by the year

Like, when was the last time I really seen my peers

Sophomore year, I remember the OGs in the class with mister Pearce

Like, precious, I ain't never had the fear to show my fears

One day we gon' sit back, sip a drink, and say cheers

Yeah, it's all good, baby, I'ma stay here

You act like I ain't been going through this shit for eight years

Say that you ain't tryna get close to me, but you came near

Mama told me ever since a youngin' I had to face my fears

I thought you was gon' be here, but then you disappeared

But baby, it's okay, I finally get it, I finally see it clear

Looked at G when he got shot, I knew it was severe

And I ain't do nothing to help him, now I can't even look in the mirror

I still miss him, though
