(Intro: Don Perion - Acapella)
You want me in a house, with a white picket fence
Working for a cents, while I’m trying to pay the rent
Money all spent, cause the wifeys on pain pills
Try to act normal, work overtime, and pay bills
Drunk on Saturday, church on Sunday
Coffee in the morning, get me ready for Monday
Then say, go to school, you could be me one day
Quit all that rap, you’re about to throw your life away
(Breath) but no I can’t do that
Middle finger up, I’m like fuck that, screw that
The world on my shoulders, that means I can move that
I’m about to lose it, I’m telling you move back!
And maybe I am off track
Tell me why these rappers now-a-days, all wack
I’m looking to the future, man I’m done looking back
I always keep it real, so I don’t know how to act
(Verse 1: Don Perion)
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsty.com/don-perion-letter-to-my-family-lyrics.html ]
Oh yeah, oh yeah, they saying that I’m crazy
I guess cause I’m rapping, by default, that makes me lazy
You say that you love me but I’m feeling like you hate me
I ain't got job, man, who you think pays me?
The fans, the fans, and I don’t see you in the stands
So you don’t really understand, what I’m thinking on my plan
I’m a loser to you, to a million I’m the man
Look at where the fuck I’ve been, I’m just doing what I can
And I hate to stay away just because you love to judge me
Anything you could say, man haters said it, trust me
The worlds kind of ugly, I’m losing all my friends
But you wouldn't know that, you ain’t asked me how I been
Got a lot on my mind, always something on my head
Thank the lord for this day, then I count my daily bread
And don't tell what to do, if you don't know what I said
If it wasn't for rap, then I'd probably be dead, dead
(Hook: Don Perion)
Man I swear this life is just bringing me down
Still I’m looking up, still I’m looking up, still I’m looking up
Save me from here, oh yeah, yeah
Man I swear this life is just bringing me down
Still I’m looking up, still I’m looking up, still I’m looking up
Save me from here, oh yeah, yeah
(Verse 2: Don Perion)
Oh yeah, why you want me up in college?
Just to end up in debt, unemployed, jobless
I tell you imma make it, and you think I’m talking nonsense
I got a better plan, and to all of you I promise
I've been getting busy, just spoke game with Missy
Kicking it with Mall G, on tour with Bizzy
Got the game, like who the fuck is he
But you don't pay attention, you just be like, where the skrizz b
Still on welfare, still no healthcare
Easy ta judge, but I don't see no help here
Better off out there, freeway said I spit hot
Learned from the game, it don’t matter what you really got
You just got to earn your spot, if you put in work, you pop
I ain’t ever had a flop, 100K on every drop
And I never plan to stop, forgive me if I’m wrong
If I end up with nothing, I had nothing all along
(Hook: Don Perion)
Man I swear this life is just bringing me down
Still I’m looking up, still I’m looking up, still I’m looking up
Save me from here, oh yeah, yeah
Man I swear this life is just bringing me down
Still I’m looking up, still I’m looking up, still I’m looking up
Save me from here, oh yeah, yeah
