Until It Happens to You
Yo, stories of glory I always hear from these other niggas
In the midst of things it feels like no one's fucking with ya
'Til you get recognized and start to take a bunch of pictures
With shy fans who get dragged up by they brothers and sisters
What's up girl I'm with you, kiss up on her cheek
She never thought it would happen
Hit her with a tweet, she smile and laughing
Them simple actions, I follow my passion
I did some things that you couldn't imagine
All 'cause of rapping, been up for a week I think I'm crashing
And an accident just took one of the homies
Drunk driving, damn, I do that all the time
And I know it's a crime, I done fade it out my mind
I got home and fell asleep, I can't even remember the drive
But I'm fine, I probably should settle down pretty soon
I hit my ex but she ain't in the mood
I text a friend "what should a nigga do?"
And she replied "she got a dude, and it isn't you"
Everything's good
Everything's good
Everything's fine
Everything's cool
'Til it happens to you, yeah
'Til it happens to you, yeah
It seems so far (seems so far) then you like, "oh my god"
But, it ain't no problem
'Til it happens to you, yeah
Until it happens to you, yeah
Yo, back to my story, I never thought I'd cry for a girl
I was scared but I know now I provided the world
I've been with chicks and I left them and they came runnin' back
But, enough is enough she calling my bluff, I fucked up
She ain't coming back, so i'm trying to focus on some other shit
Family matters I wanna make all my brothers rich
I never thought it but, brody came out the closet
I'm thinking about the words that I called 'em
And how we felt the shit, Joseph is homeless
Brandon donating plasma, I travel the country getting this money man, that shit don't add up
I'm the youngest but, they look to me for guidance
I would help them but, you can't help somebody that's never trying
Always lyin', living in the dreamworld
They jealous but, I don't get that
If you stay by me I got your back
I promise bro, just sit back
But, they ain't with that, so we don't talk
And we don't chill, and our home's broken
And we laugh now, when we live life and we act fine, so you don't know this
Everything's good
Everything's good
Everything's fine
Everything's cool
'Til it happens to you, yeah
'Til it happens to you, yeah
It seems so far (seems so far) then you like, "oh my god"
But, it ain't no problem
'Til it happens to you, yeah
Until it happens to you, yeah
[Verse 3: Mark Battles]
Tryna get us out the struggle, kiss my son on his cheek
And say "You know that daddy love you"
Explain it to your mother, we ain't happy as a couple
She'll listen when I mumble, say I'm meant to be her husband
But I disagree, so she use you to get to me
Four years of misery, typically, I would say "it's all good"
But it's really not, walking on these building blocks
Tryna get to the top, and this anger got me tripping off the smallest things
Say they treat me like the king, but fame ain't all it seems
Don't judge a book by it's cover
A thief by his hunger, or a ho by your mother
It's tougher when it happens to you, this game's lacking the truth
That's why I'm back in the booth , and my actions is proof (true)
It's time to show the plan, asking for change like a homeless man
Here we go again
