xxuyy - Brighter Side

Used to see it in my dreams
Sometimes wonder what it means
Used to look at all my dreams
Wonder what they mean
Used to look at all my dreams
And I would wonder what it means
Used to look at all my dreams
And I would wonder what it means

Dad cheated on my mom like it was a game
Had her thinking suicide almost cut her veins
I was just a baby I ain't know a thing
But little did they know I would grow a king
In a broken childhood I was born and raised
Got shipped to Mexico guess I was to blame
Couldn't manage being parents
So they made me stay
At my grandmother crib til the age of eight
Had to shower with a bucket but fuck it
I'm all smiles
Soccer with my neighbors, no shoes we on tile
Beans for my dinner and lunch I tore down
Missing mom and dad I cry with no sound
Feeling abandoned
Seeing kids with they mothers I'm missing my parents
I was lying to myself like they running some errands
I trade every gift just wanted you present
Hope it come with some blessings

Had to see things on the brighter side
I know God working on me like nine-five
Wanna say that I forgive you for all this time
If it wasn't for your love I'd be out my mind
Thankful that I'm alive
Now that we eye to eye
You ain't never gotta say you apologize
Cause I'm thankful every day I could call you mine
I just had to see some things
On the brighter side
On the brighter side

Best day in my life we was reunited
Shit was never really perfect but I couldn't fight it
A better ending to the story nah I couldn't write it
Dad was unstable
Mama was still an angel
Couldn't escape violence
Still hurting in silence
Dad was a monster
Mama would try to hide it
Only safe place was church
I wanted guidance
Rather have them both this way was so childish
That was the normal
Was far from a bad child
After the storm the sun come back out
Talking to God I wanted to lash out
Always knew shit would be better
I never would have doubts
And everything had to change for the better
Who would think it would've bought us all together yeah
Situations made me tougher than some leather
Had to go to hell just to get to heaven

Had to see things on the brighter side
I know God working on me like nine-five
Wanna say that I forgive you for all this time
If it wasn't for your love I'd be out my mind
Thankful that I'm alive
Now that we eye to eye
You ain't never gotta say you apologize
Cause I'm thankful every day I could call you mine
I just had to see some things
On the brighter side
On the brighter side

Used to see it in my dreams
And now I wonder what it means
Used to look at all my dreams
And now I wonder what it means
Looking at my dreams
Wonder what it means
Used to look at all my dreams
And now I wonder what it means
Used to look at all my dreams
Wonder what they mean
