Lessons Testo

Such a beautiful setting, life's good, my music is finally spreading
Looking back on the time when i wasn't getting the recognition deserved but I'm hanging on by a threading
I'm letting go of the guilt and the pain that i once carried, could've been a victim myself but escaped barely
I, rarely make excuses, look what he endured, my girl left the same week i had to leave on tour. damn
And they say that its perfect timing just think of all the women you'll meet in them cities rhyming
But I'm lying if i said i was over it right away cause everything you do in dark comes out in the light of day
I had to readjust my thoughts, put me first. I lost myself and my relationship, it could be worse
But instead he works with more passion than i started with, rather say it now then resent you because i harbored it
Guarded by my goals, blinded through what I'm searching for, lost a couple friends but its something more that I'm working towards
Certain rewards that you get when you just forget to care, chasing down someone that's chasing something that inst there And to myself that just inst fair we all deserve to be happy, I mean who isn't scared?
This for my niggas still with me that's bearing this, what good is having success when there's no one to share it with?

So long, so long, how do i stay so long?
No matter what it takes hold on, no matter what it takes go on

And it feels like it's more than i can handle, so what am i suppose to do when life loops like a sample?
And i throw away my crutch and i try to clutch when it's cancelled
Nothing left there but despair, no ones substantial
And people only see what they want to see, when they want to. I try not to judge cause you never know what they're going through
Going through what is possibly just a phase are these rappers better than me? I would contemplate it for days
I stayed in my place unaware of the damage. When you loyal to a fault, some people will take advantage
I managed to get out of the deal i was once in, so what makes you think id rush to do it again?
If i ever look back that's the moment i stumble, there's a very thin line between insecure and humble
Between cocky and confident but I'm still here so i take both as a compliment

So long, so long, how do i stay so long?
No matter what it takes hold on, no matter what it takes go on
So long, so long, how do i stay so long?
No matter what it takes hold on, no matter what it takes go on
