[Hook: Jon Connor]
They say the good die young, so the bad die old
Guess we somewhere in the middle, so just pray for my soul

All I want to do is right, but all I'm seeing is wrong
And I'm trying to stay strong but its taking its toll
And I ain't no better than you so when you playing this song

And you feeling how I'm feeling, just know that you ain't alone
Everyday you wake up, another day that it's on
So we got to wake up before what we seeing is gone


[Verse 1: Jon Connor]
Since the beggining, the mirror of what I've written

Real has been my description, ain't never been nothing different
Love me or hate me, just know its me you lovin' or hatin'
So there will never be an issue with what judgement your making

High school, I knew who I was, I had direction
A leader, I don't follow nobody, always progressing
So every girl in highschool a ho, was the perception

Coz lame ^!$$%s lied on their dick, to get accepted
Takin' a girls purity to get a sense of security
Now she insecure, she get older and she ain't sure of me

And I ain't sayin' I'm an angel or saint
But one of these days I might need her to be wifey, but she can't
Coz now she don't trust ^!$$%s, all the time $#&@ ^!$$%s

Coz if she don't she thinking then no ^!$$% gon' $#&@ with her
Both male and female, lost in misdirection
It's a crazy world when you live in a misconception


[Hook: Jon Connor]


[Verse 2: Jon Connor]
She had the university trying to fit in, blowing intuition
Was a good girl back at the crib, but now she different

Blowin' trees, she was never into it
It's the influence of her roomy, she with it coz all her friends do it
Back home she knew people, now she with these new people

She don't know herself no more, now she feeling like two people
^!$$%s in the dorm, 3am, thinking they cool people
Trying to keep up with this bull%#@! can consume people

Talking loud, wrong crowd, ya'll $#&@ing the same dudes
Feeling like you can't move, this painful, this ain't you
You stay loose, cranberry juice and grey goose

Can't shake ya head at them hoes, coz you doing what they do
^!$$%s play you, too far gone, who gon' save you
Funny how %#@! could have been, if you had stayed you

Out of control on the path of misdirection
It's the crazy life when you live in misconception


[Hook: Jon Connor]

[Verse 3: Jon Connor]

The coolest ^!$$% in high school, was exactly that
The coolest ^!$$% in high school, time passed right by you
Passing days of glory, keep telling them war stories

Leaching off baby mommas, he never set his priorities
Already finding, his best days is behind him
The hoes that he used to $#&@, is what defines him

Sleeping on different couches, got seeds in three different houses
But if you ask about him, he barely know nothing bout em'
I don't want him around me, all I know about him

Is he broke and he brag about being in and out the county
And since when is not being %#@!, the %#@!?
When there's only one life to live, I hope you listen huh?

Still alive, done living at twenty five
Stuck in the hood, but never got out coz he never tried
Look, check your brother, but check yourself first

The truth hurts, but we can all change after this verse

[Hook: Jon Connor]


%#@!s real... It's too real
