[G-Eazy]Contemplating just who I could've turned out to beIf I'd stayed and weren’t heard, what would amount to me?If I had looked and ain't found, would I have founded me?I mean inside, would they love me?Never looked down on me?They say, "You know if you loved herWell then you would have stayedYou could have made a perfect pairThat people wouldn't trade"Trade for nothing, I did though, I had to chase itFace it, I wasn’t born to live a life basicThey say, "you turned your back on usJust to go and be an artistWhat's a promise anyway when someone breaks it?I bet he finally gets a shot and then he wastes itI bet he don’t come back for us when he makes itAnd if he do it be too late, you gotta face itCause by then there's someone newYou've been replaced withOld friends I grew up with, the girl I fell in love withLove or hate me depending on how you judge it

[G-Eazy]I had to wander, I had to go tread my own pathIf you don't step through no mud well then it won't lastThe years pass it's crazy how they go fastAsk myself questions that you have but you won't askLike, "you don’t even come home enoughWhere were you when she was in the hospital, huh?It was only us," and that’s deep and yeah I know it cutsBut if it gets you, then you’re weakBecause we were here and it ain’t broken usStill as close and stayed by her side when no one wasLike when she lost her job and everything, how broke we wasWhen she was sick and she needed some taking care ofA fifteen year old shouldered the weightAnd when he was scared ofThe worst, I know that you stayed strongDon’t say this enoughBut you made me just as proud as you made MomYeah, you got some anger but I don’t blame you at allI know I don't call, but you're my brother, I love you

[G-Eazy]In that first grade class they came and got me"Your mom's outside, say goodbye now to everybody"U-Haul was waiting with all of her thingsAt least what she could packIn the time my dad's at work and before he came backWay too young to comprehend what was happening"Are we going to grandma's?When are we coming back again?"Little did I know that we were leaving him by himselfAnd ten years would pass before Mom sees anybody elseJust us, in middle school I ain't understandWho Melissa was and why she wasn't another manBiased and confused they try to explain but nobody canWanted what I thought was normal, she had another planSuch is life, even if it took time for me to accept itNo longer Dad now, but a woman with whom she slept withOr for the years when a secret was how she kept itI ain't get it, admittedly I was skepticI came around, happiness I see's what you may have foundAnd that's what's most importantI don’t wanna see you breaking downI wanna see you smile, I don't wanna see you make a frownIf she loves you, then that's all anybody needs maybe nowBy '05 things had gotten worseMoved to the basement, deep depressions a rotten curseHiding in a dark space, her mind and her body hurtsBecoming more reclusive and the pills should have been alertsSo the worse it got, I became more and more afraidUntil one night, I went into that room, on the floor she laidI shook her she was blue, her skin was coldShe wasn't breathingScreamed, "Melissa wake up"Couldn't fathom that she was leavingMom and Bro was running down, I screamed "somebody help"Try pumping her chest, CPR, but it didn’t helpToughest pill to swallow, but we lost, that’s forced reflectionWhile in her life you made her happyThank you for the blessing
