WHEN I BALL Lyrics

[Verse 1: Dom McLennon]

My momma said I didn't come into this world with tears

Instead I welcome her with open eyes and open ears

But came to grew a few things that couldn't be repaired

We saw a future in each other, bend and hope the fear

Some things you don't get to decide, it's just a phase you share

I used to try and hold the weight, that shit was need to bear

Watched uncles going on vacation for a couple years

When they came back, thеy needed clothes, they had no souvеnirs

I picked up the phone, they callin' us from correction

But nothin' is wrong, it's fillin' my heart with questions

My momma is home, I'm followin' her expressions

Her droppin' the tone, some things that she had to mention

I nodded, I listened, she had all of my attention

"When you on your own, there's gonna be some directions

I need you to follow, and never make an exception"

I love that she held me and wished I would be protected

[Chorus: Joba & Kevin Abstract]

You always used to tell me

I could be anything I wanna be

But it's hard to see, it's hard to be

You always used to tell me

I could be anything I wanna be

But it's hard to see, it's hard to be

[Verse 2: Matt Champion]

On my sucker-free shit since I was a fetus

Pullin' up at the doc' in a Mazda sixty-sixty

And my dad was trippin' bad, hit the gas like car chase

Light blue in the back, momma gettin' late for pay

Dropped my sister at the bozo house, was twenty-three

Sweat drippin' down the face side, river runnin' free

Dark mornin' with the fog pourin' in and out the trees

Every moment through they eyes

Seemin', zoomin' lightspeed before me

She lost, but still want tragedy

Grittin' her teeth down to the root, pain, it like cavity

Hold her hands like they glue, radio channel on news

Valentine's with a X up on the calendar, they knew

I won't be a fuckin' baller like them posters on the wall

A little stain can be the beauty in it all

I missed out of trouble, must your luck was rubbin' off

Stickin' to you like moss, you my Kate, you my rock

Forever

[Chorus: Joba & Kevin Abstract]

You always used to tell me

I could be anything I wanna be

But it's hard to see, it's hard to be

You always used to tell me

I could be anything I wanna be

But it's hard to see, it's hard to be

[Bridge]

Here I go, I'm gonna spread my wings

All grown up like go and look at me

You'll always be (You'll always be)

A part of me (A part of me)

Here I go, I'm gonna spread my wings

All grown up and blowing up, go look at me

You'll always be (You'll always be)

A part of me (A part of me)

[Outro]

That's why

A part of me, a part of me, a part of me

A part of me, a part of me, a part of me

That's why
