ItsYaBoyCarr - Adolescence (feat. 3LISE)

We never had a lot as a kid when growing up
But my pops worked overtime to make sure that we had enough
Food at the table, soda or water was in my cup
Grateful for things I had, but hungry for more I felt stuck
As a younging life was golden it couldn't get more better
Report cards bringing home first initial the only letter
PlayStation in the summer never cared for the weather
Me and my brothers doing numbers we were always together
But life changes people grow others stuck in they mold
A strangeness in the air things were about to unfold
Sat us down in the spring, we was breaking through cold
Mommy and daddy seperating we ain't together no mo
An early adolescent panicked as to where we would go
Blaming two people for something that was outta control
Learned to sacrifice and give up everything that I know
Looking back I always knew I had a lot more to grow

Take my time to get emotion
Would you ever look at me different
Would you wait on my ambition
Or find your own love and commitment
Go hard, come for a life you deserve
Never too young to chase what you know

Address changed, new faces and new names
Small town with white people who all sounded the same
Not to say that I'm dark, I've always lacked melanin
But all they knew was money they wasn't feeling the pain
Single mother working nights I ain't see her a lot
I was too busy skipping school finding truth in some pot
As blunts burned lessons learned something school never taught
Drugs can be the medicine when you feeling forgot
Didn't fit in the with the crowd I got bullied on spot
Laughed at my hammy downs and the kicks that I rocked
Didn't have the confidence thought I was destined to flop at
Confided in these verses on this page that I jot
Two years eviction notice we was leaving the spot
Another move out of place like birds how we flocked
Blamed it on each other while I blamed it on myself
Maybe if I was good enough they wouldn't have fought

Take my time to get emotion
Would you ever look at me different
Would you wait on my ambition
Or find your own love and commitment
Go hard, come for a life you deserve
Never too young to chase what you know

A couple years further and I grew out of my shell
Started spitting the words out that I was writing so well
Years of pain and tribulation I had a story to tell
The same ones that was hating karmas treating ''em well
Funny how those who talk shit got more demons inside
Those of us who stayed quiet we ain't got nothing to hide
I know a lot will listen and only think about the result
A lot of people will forget I'm new to being adult
Grateful for the homies in my life that I had to consult
To get back on the right track get myself out of the mulch
An open book, I wrote a novel, after turning twenty three
Looking back onto my life hoping to see the trilogy
Your only enemy is yourself if you let it come through
Hindsight is 20/20 and I'm just glad I can see
You know that's it's me C A and the R with the double
I'm setting my own worth don't need a college degree
