5th Grade Lyrics

I'm struggling to find my way out, man, my life is a maze

And I got hundreds of reasons to throw my whole life away

I'm tired of pretending shit is cool and that I'm okay

This shit ain't been positive since I was in fucking fifth grade

Between the family divorces and the times I got played

I had a kid and that's a blessing, but it stoked up the flames

I'm trying to make a living for my family to this day

I ain't got a thousand to my name, but I'ma make us a way

I ain't got a reputation to stand on, but that's why I'm here

I'm trying to show y'all who I am, I'm trying to make sure you hear

I'm speaking eloquently, I know motives ain't always clear

I swear I'm here for the growth, I ain't trying to flop in a year

I'm trying to have my mama court-side at game of the year

I'm trying to walk up on a stage and make my grandma shed tears

Dad put the talent in my blood, I really wish he was here

A couple years ago, I never thought that I'd make it here

And I don't wanna lie, man, I wish things would just stay the same

I hate that everything I start to love goes away

And all the trials and tribulations of life hold a weight

Sometimes I reminisce and wish that I was still in fifth grade

Yeah, sometimes I reminisce and wish that I was still in fifth grade
