paroles de chanson That Was Me - Russ

You know that was me stayin' up puttin' work in
Making sure my family was good, we were hurtin'
Dad lost his job, bank tried to take the house
Mom lost her mind, I was tryna make it out
You know that was me who came through when it mattered
You know that was me turnin' losses to laughter
Divvy up the cash, makin' sure we all eat
Bring us all together, makin' sure we all speak

Wasn't gettin sleep, I was focused on the prize
Heavy smokin' weed, drinkin' liquor every night
The girl I was in love with wasn't just for me
I tried to show her things she didn't wanna see
My parents were embarrassed, hated seein' them like that
They carried me this far, it's time I put 'em on my back

My songs were breaking through
My car was breaking down
Yeah, the pressure grew
I had to make it now

The awkward conversations and the fights increased
The days were chaotic so the nights were my peace
I'm locked in like woah, woah

You know that was me stayin' up puttin' work in
Making sure my family was good, we were hurtin'
Dad lost his job, bank tried to take the house
Mom lost her mind, I was tryna make it out
You know that was me who came through when it mattered
You know that was me turnin' losses to laughter
Divvy up the cash, makin' sure we all eat
Bring us all together, makin' sure we all speak

Tried to keep the peace, I was hiding how I felt
Only 23, takin' care of things myself
Payin' all the bills, everyone was broke
All the while still tryna be the GOAT

I'm lonely all the time, but I've always held my tongue
It's been six years since I was a brother or a son
My father lost his voice, he knows money speaks
They didn't have a choice, they had to come to me

The awkward conversations and the fights increased
The days were chaotic so the nights were my peace
I'm locked in like woah, woah

You know that was me stayin' up puttin' work in
Making sure my family was good, we were hurtin'
Dad lost his job, bank tried to take the house
Mom lost her mind, I was tryna make it out
You know that was me who came through when it mattered
You know that was me turnin' losses to laughter
Divvy up the cash, makin' sure we all eat
Bring us all together, makin' sure we all speak

Cut off everybody, I ain't got no time to party (yeah)
Tryna get these fans and build a motherfuckin' army (yeah)
'Cause no one's gonna save us but me, so I got us
I said that I would, I gotta keep my promise (yeah)

Missed out on a lot, yeah, my twenties were a blur (yeah)
My mind was always focused on the future, that's for sure
But I'd sacrifice it again and again
To make sure my fam doesn't go through that again (for real)

Oh, I been on my own, my own, oh
Oh, I been on my own, my own, oh

You know that was me stayin' up puttin' work in
Making sure my family was good, we were hurtin'
Dad lost his job, bank tried to take the house
Mom lost her mind, I was tryna make it out
You know that was me who came through when it mattered
You know that was me turnin' losses to laughter
Divvy up the cash, makin' sure we all eat
Bring us all together, makin' sure we all speak
