Let You Down

This is for the ones who stuck by me
Just wanted to thank ya
Cus without you I felt like
I ain't had an anchor
Aint had the courage
Or I ain't had the answers
Know that there ain't nothing promised
So I'm taking my chances
Grandma called me Thomas
Used to say that I'm handsome
Life hit you hard
With them things you can't plan for
Can you say to somebody when they battling cancer
Said the flesh impermanent
The soul untampered
It aint a choice
This is what I was made for
Strayed from my path
Made mistakes that I paid for
Fronted from the plug just to pay our advances
I was smoking doing drugs selling right on campus
Back then I figured I would blow up fastest
I was living in the basement
On a blow-up mattress
We was young getting cash
We aint pay no taxes
You could say what you like
Homie we made classics
Feel it in your tone dog you all cap
I made more off rap than you made off packs
I been rock bottom
Lost in it still crawled back
Went back and graduated college
At the top of my class
Man we came too far so I can't fall back
I got homies still using that I can't call back
Me and my sister used to watch all that
Made half a million dollars baby that's all facts
Lights fame
Flights planes
Times it get painful to face life changes
I just wanna get the world hype on stages
Have my song jumping on they spotify playlist
Used to pray to god
That the world gon play this
Boy I had to come up
Cus there ain't no one to save us
Swear that this music all I ever had faith in
Sound like
15 years in the making

I don't wanna give you up
I don't wanna live in doubt
I don't wanna let you go
I don't wanna let you down
I don't wanna give you up
I don't wanna live without
I don't wanna let you go
I don't wanna let you down

Burned CDs
At first we just passed em out
We used to crash parties
Rapping in the back of the house
Til we passed out crashing on a pull out couch
Woke up trying to figure out who stole my oz
Gatekeepers in the town
Would deny our clout
Said we was popping outta state
Both had our doubts
East coast fans
Even more down south
Started coming outta pocket
Just to fly us out

Cuz success in this world
It ain't easy to find
But what can one man do
That's for me to decide
They told me find something else
Yeah believe me I tried
Said I was going back to school
I ain't even applied
I was chasing my dream
That's the reason I lied
Can't count how many times
Homie we could've died
When my pockets got low
Used to eat at my pride
So I hustled all summer
Put my team in the ride
Whipping the jeep in the winter
With no heater inside
Throw a dollar in the tank
Just to keep it alive
Seen em standing in the cold looking eager in line
But didn't know that they was waiting just for me to arrive
Music with meaning is powerful
Beat and the rhymes
Make these haters get sour like they squeezing a lime
Made my momma so proud
When she seen me she cried
Know I can't let you down
Can't leave you behind
When I'm on this road
Knowledge growth
Confidence Hope
Promises I Broke
From the bottom I rose
To the top I'll go
So close can't stop
This is all I know
Wipe tears from my eyes
For those thoughts alone
Cuz 5 years passed by you ain't
Call my phone
Moved six times but know where I can call my home
For all the pain that we shared
Now I've got my own

I don't wanna give you up
I don't wanna live in doubt
I don't wanna let you go
I don't wanna let you down
I don't wanna give you up
I don't wanna live without
I don't wanna let you go
I don't wanna let you down

Walking on this road again
Something bout it
Got me feeling down and out
Every time I stop and wonder where you been
Swear I see your face move across the clouds
I been running through the rain again
I'ma keep going til the sun come out
Cus even though you're not around
And I don't wanna I don't wanna let you down
