Lyrics
I remember we were kings of the blacktop
Always lookin' for new things, new ways to act up
Only saw the real world through a laptop, damn
Life isn't all what it's cracked up to be
I remember bein' ranked by our kicks
Only question in my mind was
When we hoppin' on the sticks?
I wasn't ready for reality to hit me like some bricks
That a happy ever after was just a bag of tricks
3 o'clock in the mornin', yeah my door it swung open
Both my parents in a frenzy, my little brother they were holdin'
He was cryin' so loud, both his lips, they were swollen
I have never seen my parents so defeated, so broken
Now this next part of the story, no one ever wants to tell
When we found out there was a battle goin' on between his cells
I don't really like to share, I keep my feelings to myself
But my first time without my brother made my life a living hell
Readin' off the page of my own story
Look inside my book
No happy ever after, fighting for glory
Reality's a thief, my life it took
Try to go to see the world through my eyes
It's all good man, stop pretending
Don't you think the journey's hard enough?
We all deserve a storybook ending
Let me take y'all back in time with this image I'ma draw
My momma grippin' to her heart as she leaned up against the wall
Now I'ma tell you all the story of when I almost lost it all
Why it gotta be my mom, why couldn't I take the fall
This the woman that had always had my back
And to see her so defenseless with her heart under attack
I was frozen up with fear, ashamed of the strength that I lacked
Why was I the one afraid?
Well just look at the facts
Got down on my knees and to the Lord I had plead
They said another minute late and she would've surely been dead
When she woke up, she couldn't keep her thoughts in her head
She had to spend her own birthday in a hospital bed
Fast forward a couple years later me and God made amends
Got told my dad has a tumor, he has surgery in ten
I didn't understand, I couldn't comprehend
Was this shit really happening all over again?
Readin' off the page of my own story
Look inside my book
No happy ever after, fighting for glory
Reality's a thief, my life it took
Try to go to see the world through my eyes
It's all good man, stop pretending
Don't you think the journey's hard enough?
We all deserve a storybook ending
Readin' off the page of my own story
Look inside my book
No happy ever after, fighting for glory
Reality's a thief, my life it took
Try to go to see the world through my eyes
It's all good man, stop pretending
Don't you think the journey's hard enough?
We all deserve a storybook ending
