Getting Older (Intro) Lyrics by Leo DeSafo

Reckless

2016

Okay I lock myself up
Inside my room
Depression knock
I don't let it through
Do I pop an Addie
Or pop a few
I just popped a bit
Now I'm feeling new
We struggling
So I gotta work
My hustling's
On my momma's nerves
But 7 dollars with 25
Isn't really what I am worth
I finished school
And my momma proud
But I don't know
What I'm doing now
I should go to college
But I'm having doubts
Cause my homies did it
And they checks still bounce
I'm from a small town
But my mind is big
I used to be like
The shyest kid
But I grew up
Yeah Lord knows I did
It's funny how
I never noticed it
But now I'm old
And I see it all
My moma doesn't want
Me involved
Cause I'm her baby
And I feel her love
But I'm a man so
I toughs it up
Have you filled an app
And done interviews
But no one seems
To be in to you
They say they'll call
But they never do
So you sell the news
To get revenue
I look like a thug
But I'm intelligent
But I got a record
So they delicate
Like why you
Gotta be prejudice
I didn't steal
Or nothing but I resist
Just look inside
Of my iris's
Instead of what's
Behind my arrests
I get it tho
They won't take a risk
So fuck it man
I gotta make a trip
I go to the plug
And he shows me love
Like ain't it funny
He really does
He shows respect
Cause he can relate
"They fired me
Cause I came in late"
He says it laughing
As he measure weight
"Don't worry nigga
You'll be okay
Just make that money
Don't take no break
Keep working hard
And you will be straight"
Will opportunity
Ever knock
If time is money
Then I need a clock
We from a town
Where it's always hot
And I ain't talking
About the block
I'm talking about
The weather
We pray for
Something better
Really I'm
So fed up
But I gotta
Get this cheddar
No room to
Make an error
I really feel
The pressure
But I keep
It all together
Won't let em
See me mess up
This music shit
Is all that I know
I hide my pain
But in there it shows
My homies say
That I'm bound to blow
I smile and laugh
But that's all for show
Cause nothing's promised
Only your death
Im waking up
And I feel so blessed
I thank the Lord
With every waking breath
I don't pray for money
I pray for strength
Cause Lord knows
That I need it
Wake up, hustle, sleep
Then repeat it
Work so hard
That I ain't been eating
But as long as
My heart keeps beating
I'ma do what I gotta
With a dream and a dollar
I do it all for my family
I do it all for my momma, yeah
