808 Lyrics

Hard times, hard life, been through it all

Got to get up, now it's my wake up call

Past ain't good, it is what it is

Remember I was young and life was shit

Feds banging on my doors like it's an 808

I didn't do shit, why the hell are you here?

Leave me alone, let me live without fear

You know what's mad? I wasn't even there

Bothering my mum who did more than care

Gave me support worth more than a grand

Dad at the time, didn't understand

Shouting and screaming, saying "fix up son"

Tears down my face, I'm breaking down

"Mental issues ain't real", he says to me

Hurt me even more, he just couldn't see

It's changed now, we got through

We both grew, mum and dad, I love you

Never told you, even though you did

Can't express in words so I put it in music

I don't what to say anymore

I just need you to let me grow

I don't what to say anymore

I just need you to let me grow

Now I know, I'm misunderstood

Rare breed, neither bad or good

Say what you want, it really don't matter

I know myself better than any other

Sometimes I'm lost all up in my head

It's all good, at least I'm not dead

I'm here thinking 'bout the bigger picture

Thinking 'bout life, lost in the future

Dreams so vivid, see it so clear

Powerful visions, I could even disappear

That's what I need, just to escape

Blazing up the green, trying to medicate

It's not good but I learn through pain

Wash away my sins, got so much to gain

I'm playing my life like it's just another game

Reckless, risky, best way to live

I don't what to say anymore

I just need you to let me grow

I don't what to say anymore

I just need you to let me grow
