Lyrics
[Music Starts To Fade In To Begin]
[Intro]
I dealt with
A lot of twists and turns
Still alive to this day
I have my depressed days, let me start
[Verse 1]
I was born in Atlanta, where my dad was a drunk
And my mom is working retail while he starts to fuck
3 of my sisters is the hardest job to take care of
Mostly raised by my grandma.
Where I had to be fair, huh?
I had a guy named Romel who was hyperactive
During Durham, bullies that I dealt with, I'm not interactive
Also, I'm disabled when the teachers ignore the action
It's like they knew about it
But did not tell what happened
As a kid, I figured I had a bad childhood
Support my family during that school was not the light's hood
I'm jealous of my grandpa,
I was like "Damn, Mom"
Seeing him distant made me realize that's wrong
[Chorus]
Dealing with my father
It makes me so bothered
Thinking about this has gotten in my past
Bullied by the mates
As it relates
I have autism that affects me in a blast
Dealing with my mother
Being a big brother
Thinking about this has gotten in my past
My sisters need my help
Make sure that they're well
I have autism that affects me in a blast
[Verse 2]
My dad drowned his sorrows in bottles of gin
Tried to escape the chaos that he felt within
His demons consumed him, tearing us apart
Leaving scars on my soul, right from the start
I watched him stumble through life, barely holding on
As I struggled to be strong, while he was withdrawn
Virtual student by day, trying to learn and grow
But the weight of his addiction was all I'd know
In my room, behind a screen, I built my own world
While my family crumbled, my life unfurled
But even through the distance, I fought to survive
Determined to keep my dreams alive
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
I used to think that my struggles defined me
But now I see, they're just a part of my journey
Every obstacle faced has made me who I am
I'm stronger, I'm wiser, I've got my own plan
My sisters look up to me, I can't let them down
I've got a mission to turn this life around
I'm fighting for a future that's bright and clear
No longer living in the shadows of fear
Though the road is long, I'll keep walking tall
With courage and strength, I'll conquer it all
I won't let my past dictate my fate
I'm the author of my story, I'll create
[Bridge]
The music starts to fade, but my story's still strong
I'll keep pushing forward, where I belong
In a world that's uncertain, I'll find my way
Step by step, I'll seize each day
[Chorus]
