ACCEPTANCE

My neighbor just said, "Congrats, give praise, give thanks"
Sis said, "Never forget where you came from", but I ain't going back
I love the ends, but I hate them flats
We was stuck and it made us trap
Getting paid made them hate on man, but the plug showed me love so I paid him back

"Don't get bagged tryna chase that bag", so bro used to say to man
We was broke as a joke, now we laugh to the bank off a song that we made for bants
Ain't that mad? Sold dark 'cause I want the Range in black
Couldn't even pay for cabs, now I'm up on a yacht doing up vacation snaps
Oh, what a feelin', I was rattled, I was battling demons
Can't heal if you don't reveal it, shit happens, I don't need no reason
Take a breath for a minute, just breathe in
If you're from where I'm from, and you came out alive, then that's an achievement

If I ever hurt you, then it's 'cause I was hurt, forgive me, yeah
And if you ever hurt me, let's put it in the past and make history
Yeah

The future's bright, and I knew that
Grew up too fast as a youth
The things that I had to unlearn, I'm a new man
When you're raised on the block you'll do that
They tryna move mum out, gotta move packs
I'm from T and that's short for trauma
I got food, not boots in my boot bag
I was tryna be an awesome baller

Had the ball in my court, got caught up
Broke down 'cause of how I was brought up
Dreamin' of a Porsche and a Corsa, just got stopped by the law enforcement
Makin' a big deal out of the small stuff
We ain't abroad, but it's Bora, Bora
Clouts been killin' my people, love or money, what's more important?

Questions, questions, did I really need to stress
Or did I just need me a new prospective?
I ain't got enough fingers on both my hands to count all these blessings
Everybody goes through things, I'm no exception, this is acceptance
Yeah

If I ever hurt you, then it's 'cause I was hurt, forgive me
Yeah
And if you ever hurt me, let's put it in the past and make history
Yeah

Yeah, broke my girl's heart and the penny dropped
Didn't realize that the stress I caused was really a stress response
Even though I'm good with music, I ain't really good at expressin' stuff
And I just place way too much value on all that expensive stuff
Yeah, when all she wanted was love

Yo, my twin flame, I'm fumin'
Looking at the mirror like, why d'you do this?
What's the point of actin' clueless
When you got a choice, and you're the one choosin'?
Mum asked why we ain't moved in together
I told her, "There's room for improvement"
But nobody's perfect, me included, I'm finally human

My neighbor just said, "Congrats", give praise, give thanks"
Sis said, "Never forget where you came from", but I ain't going back
I love the ends but I hate them flats
We was in the maze and it made us trap
God save the streets, Lord knows no one else can, yeah
Lord knows no one else can
