[Intro]
Yeah
Shit it sucks growing up man
Shit changes
You lose touch with people
You lose friends along the way, but
You just gotta keep going man
Yeah
[Verse 1]
Man it sucks growing up
Gotta let go of the past
Not every childhood friendship
is gonna to last
People grow up and move on
For better or worse
Always praying for is
that it doesn't end in a church
We used to go on L rides
like the city's ours.
But now we all got real jobs
and shitty hours.
Huh
And those the lucky ones
who earn a check
The ones who don't sit at home all day
and blow percocets.
Cause i've seen a lot of people on the path
and it sucks
Cause they almost never come back
It's the sad truth to life,
it's ruthless right.
As a kid we never thought
that we could lose the fight.
Shit we all had big dreams
back in middle school.
But real life
is played by different rules.
And reality hurts
So I always keep a bag of the purp.
And pray for the best
until they put my ass in the dirt
Word
[Chorus]
Chances thrown
Nothing's free
Longing for
What used to be
Still it's hard
Hard to see
Fragile lives, shattered dreams
[Verse 2]
For the teenage mothers with a baby to feed
For the kids who think the pill bottle's all that they need.
We all hit a rough patch
Get back on your feet
We only got 1 life
And it goes on
But now we're 1 less
Any V tatted on my bicep
Shit
Nick I miss you man
But I guess that fate
Just had a different plan
I thought you and me
would be kicking it in 20 years
Talking bout our wife and kids
over a couple beers, And now you're not here
And it's hard to even say in a song
But shit i've thought about you every fucking
day you've been gone
A.G. Shawn and Glock
we all gettin through the pain.
But just know that Norwalk ain't
gon' ever be the same.
You even had faith in me
back when we was kids.
You said I'd get big
back when nobody did.
So ima do this rap shit
for the both of us now
Cause I know your still up there
Holding me down
So brother, save me a spot
if something happens to me.
Until then, enjoy the show
from the balcony seats.
I love you man.
[Chorus]
Chances thrown
Nothing's free
Longing for
What used to be
Still it's hard
Hard to see
Fragile lives, shattered dreams
[Verse 3]
For the kids who lost friends
and family in the past
For the kids who messed up
and want to take it all back.
We all hit a rough patch
get back on your feet.
We only got 1 life.
If you got a dream
you gotta get it man.
At least try, shit.
You may never get a second chance.
As a kid we never thought
that it could happen to you.
For better or worse
It's how I'm here rapping to you.
Keep in touch with all ya homies
and your eye on the prize.
We all slip and fall down
push your shit to the side.
Only got one life
better live while you got it
Cause only one thing's for sure
Tomorrow is not promised.
Yeah
[Chorus]
Chances thrown
Nothing's free
Longing for
What used to be
Still it's hard
Hard to see
Fragile lives, shattered dreams
[Outro]
And that's it, you know.
Life goes on.
Gotta keep focus.
Nicky,
We all miss ya down here brotha.
Ima see you though
Yeah
