G.O.A.S. Graduation of a Saint Lyrics

I can show you. Don't you hold me back

I would die for this. I would die for this

I can show you. Don't you hold me back

I would die for this. I would die for this

My life was never gravy nobody could save me and it was crazy

Cause I had the lying chance of dying baby with rabies

All the emotional baggage of bastard father that vanished

And a verbally abusive mother leaving me tragically damaged

I couldn't stand it yo, I was manically trapped in static

Just for status above the average I ravaged havoc to savage panic

Nothing was ever handed as I was often reprimanded

The judge the jury the courts they labeled me a bandit

My fist and feet were really quite unique and became a weapon

While testing lessons manifesting blessings steady ducking heaven

Trying to get the hell out but it was shrouded with doubt

Tried to climb up and out but it was covered with many clouds

Now let me tell you something this boy he started with nothing

No mother no father no family just everyday tough loving

I'm staring at the sky and I'm wondering why I didn't die

And I'm trying not to cry as I realized that I survived

Believe me when I tell you that

I can show you. Don't you hold me back

I would die for this. I would die for this

I can show you. Don't you hold me back

I would die for this. I would die for this

Indulge me for a minute cause man this kind of hurts me

As I tell you about this story on this young boys journey

Becoming a man at eleven, straight to hell with no heaven

The trauma started at seven no open arms for any helping

I had to learn quickly frenemies was my enemies

Forgiving eternally for the epitome of what they did to me

Cause I'm sitting here grinning while reminiscing on the beginning

Just pretending I'm winning still no fam and no happy ending

It's been a long road but on my life I tell you I made it

And I ain't going to front its been way to complicated

I fell a few times and often times I just stumble

I quickly bounced back while other times I would just crumble

I've learned a lot from my endeavors now I'm better to storm the weather

I shrug when it's cold then I smile and put on my sweater

In the midst of a bomb I remain calm and do no harm

Denouncing my wrong and staying strong to my bond

Believe me when I tell u that

I can show you. Don't you hold me back

I would die for this. I would die for this

I can show you. Don't you hold me back

I would die for this. I would die for this
