Lyrics: Yeah, sometimes I wanna disappear like I just don't exist Or find a time machine and take me back when I was six Maybe younger, either way, I guess the point of it Would be to tell that little kid that he's gon' take a lot of hits Yeah, I'd probably grab your hand and tell you life is hard If you got questions or you need advice, then talk to God 'Cause He's the only one that listens even when you think He isn't Even good people are great at making bad decisions (yeah) They ain't gon' take it serious You find out pretty quick that life is more than just appearances I know some things we could avoid to save embarrassment But everything that breaks you down can also build your character 'Cause people love to see you fail, just be aware of it Don't let nobody tell you who to be or write your narrative Look, we're all products of the things that we experience But there's a big difference between confidence and arrogance You hearin' this? I know that you won't get it now, but you gon' get it later I know that you feel alone and no one loves you maybe And you gon' cover insecurities with lots of anger The weird thing is someday all of this will make you famous You start to write about your life and while they're all relatin' You'll make up a slogan, call it "Real, " but feel like you're the fakest Wish I could tell you that you're future's nothing but amazin' That's just not the case, and I guess I just don't know how to say this I don't know if you can hear me or not But if you can, I just want you to know You gon' make a lot of mistakes And they gon' laugh in our face That's part of life, that's just the way that it goes (That's just the way that it goes) And I don't know if you can hear me or not But if you can, I just need you to get it I know you been questionin' life Trust me, I know what it's like I'm here for you if you need someone to listen Do you need someone to listen? See, mom and dad are not together, they took different routes But you probably already knew, you gettin' older now Remember back when mom picked us up from grandma's house? And she hid her boyfriend in the trunk and drove a couple miles Down the street and she pulled over to let him out 'Cause she ain't want dad to know she had these type of dudes around 'Cause last time he found out, he had to take us from her You look uncomfortable, I'm sorry, let me change the subject You know how we've always struggled with abandonment? (Yeah) And when we feel like someone's leaving, we start panickin'? (Yeah) And yo, I wish that I could say I've learned to manage it You think it's bad now, but you don't know the half of it Passionate, something we have never lacked We see it the most when we're writing raps They think it's funny now, let 'em laugh I know you think it's just an outlet when you're really mad But you don't know the platform you're about to have I know some things about the future you ain't ready for I know some things that you gon' cover up, but can't ignore And what hurts is they gon' surface at the worst moments And we gon' act like it don't hurt us, but it hurts, don't it? We walk around with the Devil talkin' on both shoulders Wish I could tell you that he disappears when we get older But that's just not the case, and I know you feel out of place And everything is not okay, and life can be a lot to take, but I don't know if you can hear me or not But if you can, I just want you to know You gon' make a lot of mistakes And they gon' laugh in our face That's part of life, that's just the way that it goes (That's just the way that it goes) And I don't know if you can hear me or not But if you can, I just need you to get it I know you been questionin' life Trust me, I know what it's like I'm here for you if you need someone to listen Do you need someone to listen? You know how intoxicated people make us nervous? To the point sometimes we shake and it feels so disturbin' Don't be scared, that's just trauma tryna reach the surface And tell us everyone we love is gonna try to hurt us Which isn't true, but it's a lie that both of us believe in Yeah, you might get a glimpse of happiness from your achievements But what you'll learn as you get older, every time you reach one Is you'll just make another goal that doesn't lead to freedom See, some things about to happen that you can't imagine At twenty-four, you'll drop an album, and you'll call it Mansion At twenty-five, you'll put out Therapy and gain some traction Skip to track number four, now that's a really sad one Yeah, Perception's coming next, we 'bout to reach the masses It sounds awesome, at the same time, it doesn't matter At twenty-seven, we'll make millions, but it's really sad 'cause You'll learn to realize that none of this will make you happy I wish that I could look at you with empathy Sometimes I feel like I've become what you were scared to be Which makes it really hard to look at you with sympathy 'Cause if I'm feeling bad for you, then I have to feel bad for me And that's just something I feel like we don't deserve That's why I'm always looking down on you, I know it hurts I'm sure you have a lot of questions I've been tryna search to find us both some answers I'll be here for you if things get worse
