Yeah
%#@!, it sucks growing up man
%#@! 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 growin' up
Gotta let go of the past
Not every childhood friendship is gonna last

People grow up, and move on for better or worse
All we prayin' 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 %#@!ty hours
And those the lucky ones who earn a check
The ones who don't sit at home all day and blow percocets

Cause I seen a lot of people on that path
And it sucks cause they almost never come back
It's a sad truth, the life is ruthless right?

As a kid we never thought that we could lose the fight
%#@! we all had big dreams back in middle school
But real life is played by different rules

And reality hurts that's why I always keep a bag of the purp
And pray for the best until they put my $$# in the dirt


[Chorus]
Chances thrown
Nothing's free

Longing for
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 a pill bottle's all that they need
We all hit a rough patch, get back on your feet
We only got one life (One life)

And it goes on but now with one less
N.E.V tatted on my bicep
%#@!

Nick I miss you man
But I guess that fate just had a different plan
I thought me and you would be kickin' it in 20 years

Talkin' about 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 %#@! I thought about you every f*ckin' day you've been gone
AG, Shawn and Glock we all getting through the pain
But just know that no walk will 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 I'ma do this rap %#@! for the both of us now

Cause I know you still up there holding me down
So brotha 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
Used to be
Still it's hard

Hard to see
Fragile lives
Shattered dreams


[Verse 3]
For the kids who've lost friends and family in the past

For the kids who messed up and wanna take it all back
We all hit a rough patch, get back on your feet
We only got one life (One life)
If you got a dream you gotta get it man
At least try

%#@!, 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 rappin' to you
Keep in touch with all your homies and your eye on the prize
Cause we all slip and fall down, push your %#@! to the side

Only got one life, better live while you got it
Cause only one thing's for sure
Tomorrow is not promised

[Chorus]

Chances thrown
Nothing's free
Longing for
Used to be
Still it's hard

Hard to see
Fragile lives
Shattered dreams

[Outro]
And that's it

Ya know?
Life goes on
Gotta keep focused
Nicky
We all miss you down here brother
But we'll see you though
Yeah
