David Walker - Salute To My Past (feat. Cabes)

Collecting all my thoughts, reminiscing on the shitty times
I was just a boy and I was living on Llewellyn Drive
Been a whole year, spent a dozen months on this verse
I've been on my own road, that's for better or for worse
I just want to rap and love my life until the end of time
Gotten good at being on my own, I don't need a wife
Gonna keep on doing me, writing late into the night
Trying to get what's mine, so I'll write my wrongs until I'm right
My idol heard my music now I'm thinking I can do it all
I've been climbing up a mountain, don't have time for a fall
Mind is growing, tears are flowing, I've been breaking down my walls
God's been talking, think it's time to pick up the call
He told me Davey man, you gotta make some shit that will last
I spent my time reflecting on, all the time that is passed
But now enough is enough, we taking off with a blast
Signing off, one last time, this a salute to the past
I'm gone
I look back to me a year ago, I'm shocked at my growth
Suicidal to my core I wasn't given no hope
Lost my vision, left my girl, I couldn't use her to cope
But that wasn't healthy either she had me by the throat
Not a diss, but I ain't missing all the games that we played
I can't count the times I've messed up, the mistakes that I've made
You might've put me at my lowest but that lowest point paved
The path I walk on with my own two feet, and that's why I say
Thanks for the panic, depression, anxiety, guilt
It's 'cause of all these things I've went through this foundation I've built
And now these people try to follow, but they stumble and fumble
It's 'cause this path was built for solely me, that's why you gon' crumble
Don't try to mumble when they question what's you do's gonna last
Stand up tall upon your stronghold, speak with pride if they ask
Show 'em what you've been through, what you've done, and what you've amassed
And while your at it, give some credit, and salute to your past
I'm gone
