The Big Homie - Traumatic

I feel fine when I sit late at night writing lyrics to a song that I've had on my mind
And every time I do I'm brought back to a moment where I didn't have a care
Despite the negativity in the air

I'm home from school, man I'd be so quick to turn the TV on and watch my cartoons
Or look at Nick at Nite laughing when I saw Carl Winslow or when Michael Kyle said

Eh, No

I miss my home, I miss it when we'd all congregate at Nan's place
Having dinner, celebrating holidays, it didn't matter if the weather rained, shined, or snowed
We were all together, nowhere I'd rather go

The good old days where the family never fought
Oh, what I would trade to go back to the times
In the picture frames I hold dear
Now all I have is a thought, I'm thinking of myself saying

Life's traumatic, could you tell me now where I'd be
If my mama had died when I was sixteen
Life goes on, but I feel the pain every day, it don't go away

Life's traumatic but the pages keep rolling on
I wish I knew enough to know how to make it stop
And just pause for a minute
Let me breathe deep, let me fight the trauma
Cause I still have it

I'm alright when I'm sitting on the job
Overwhelmed by the duties that they try to cram on top of my day
It's way too much, but then they try to say the problem is me
I'm in too deep

And then I get home, I'm so tired but I'm up till the crack of dawn
Tryna claim my day back cause it's gone
Man I work so hard, but I swear you'll never know
Cause I shrug it off, I huff and puff and I complain

I wanna wake to a brighter day
I wanna pay bills on the due date
I wanna drive down the road without guilt, when I see a homeless person and I know I'm never too far from it

Cause all I had to give, I gave away
And I'd do it all again I wouldn't change a thing
I still walk this earth with style and grace, so allow me to list my heartaches,
I'm tryna say

Life's traumatic, could you tell me now where I'd be
If I never moved my life on down to NC
Life goes on but I miss my nan every day, she's so far away

Life's traumatic but the pages keep rolling on
I wish I knew enough to know how to make it stop
And just pause for a minute
Let me breathe deep, let me face the trauma
Cause I'm stronger than it
