[Intro]
A couple more bills are here
You tell me, "Don't worry," you
Coupons on the table, we're
Tryin' to find a way to buy food, and
I'm feelin' so lost out here
I run to you
And I'm feelin' so lost out here
I run to you, run to you
Running is something you
[Verse 1]
And I had to know well
Honestly, no scars that I won't tell
Honestly, scared to death that I won't sell
I ain't worried 'bout the money, go to benefit the hungry
It's a feelin' that I know we both felt
And I ain't no help
'Cause I'm tryin' to live a dream, and it means that it seems I got no wealth
And we know hell, seen it twice
Looks somethin' like a bottle with a glass of ice
It looks somethin' like a house over half our life
It looks somethin' like a landlord turnin' off the lights
We can't pay the price
How am I gon' write at night with no lights? And I want it more
I see you charge another bill that you can't afford
And so I pray for the day I can say that I gave you
More, gave you more, open that door, you know you deserve it
And one day in the future, we'll realize where all of the pain, it was worth it
And I'll get you that house out in Florida with Gizmo, the view will be perfect
You should know that I feel like you raised me alone because Daddy was worthless
Never was workin', drunk on the couch
I'm almost ashamed that I came from you now
You finally got sober, you figured it out
But you sit and you pout, no one's ever around
Wearin' a cap and a gown for sobriety found
And forget about years of you lettin' me down
I'm surrounded by people who care 'bout me now
Now, I'm cuttin' you out, and I like how it sounds
[Chorus]
Now, I know that we've been through it all, no, we don't fall, nobody can break us
'Cause you believe in me, believe in me that I'm gon' make it
And I promise on my bones, I've built this home, I've built it up for you
Just know I built it up for you
Yeah, I know that we've been through it all, no, we don't fall, nobody can break us
'Cause you'll believe in me, believe in me that I'm gon' make it
And I promise on my bones, I've built this home, I've built it up for you
Just know I built it up for you
[Verse 2]
And on top of it all, you call my phone
"Mark, the car broke while drivin' home"
Just found out we gotta leave our home
You see, I'm tryna pay the bills and the student loan
You see, I coulda signed a deal, but I wanna keep it real
I can barely buy a meal, got me feelin' broke
Until I'm sittin' on a bill, I ain't worried 'bout a mill
Know I'm hopin' that I'm bringin' to the people hope
They used to laugh and joke, they used to push me down
I had to find my soul inside a lost-and-found
Woulda been better off without a dad around
I know it's sad to say, but can you blame me now?
Can you blame me now? Yellin' and screamin'
Alcohol over us, what were you thinkin'?
I'm tired of watchin' you drinkin'
And I tried to be nice, okay, oh now, I'm hopin' to sink in
And when there was nothing to eat, I had friends who were feedin' me dinner
Drive to your house, stomach would growl
Open the door and you notice I been gettin' thinner
Been working all winter, been losin' my mind
I've been stuck in my room analyzin' my lines
And the weight on me droppin' my music on time
When you see me on Twitter, you think that I'm fine, but
Me, I'm tryna get to know me
Momma workin' at a two jobs OT
We got two things in common, we fight and believe
Now, I'm trimmin' the leaves on the family tree
I don't do this for me, me, I do this for we
We got passion and heart, we're a part of a team
All I need is a mic and a Mac and a beat
We're a fraction of what we could actually be
[Chorus]
Now, I know that we've been through it all, no, we don't fall, nobody can break us
'Cause you believe in me, believe in me that I'm gon' make it
And I promise on my bones, I've built this home, I've built it up for you
Just know I built it up for you
Yeah, I know that we've been through it all, no, we don't fall, nobody can break us
'Cause you'll believe in me, believe in me that I'm gon' make it
And I promise on my bones, I've built this home, I've built it up for you
Just know I built it up for you
[Outro]
Just know I built it up for you, just know I built it up for you
Just know I built it up for you, no one can break us down, no, no
Just know I built it up for you, just know I built it up for you
Just know I built it up for you, no one can break us down, no, no
Just know I built it up for you
