Distractions Lyrics

This is a story

About a kid

Who had dreams to school in LA

Bright lights conducive

We all can relate

Started the journey

From preschool to post school

Book freak straight A's

Future was real cool

Then he went to college

You know that place

Journeys, thrills, adventures

All in one place

The music changed

With the rhythm of the dance

Mistakes made

No room for second chance

First year in college

Kid was still a genius

Remarkable grades (yeah)

Kid was still a genius

Second year he snapped

Everybody got furious

Is he into drugs

Everybody got curious

What he got himself into

What's he really into

Lost the passion for school (nah)

Never since he was little

Now tell me how the hell

He's lost form his vision

More like he backslided

He into another mission (but no)

Talk about pain

Talk about fears

Talk about the families

We’ve left behind

I’m at the crossroads

And I ain’t turning back

No I ain’t turning back

But the tears in my eyes

Make a man go wild

I’ll be working everyday

Just to make things right

Just to make things right (no.... no... no...)

Everybody knew Jane was a girl

Of bigger dreams

Her skin was so soft

Felt like it was whipped cream

She only got one rule

To never share the spotlight

Filled with ambitions

She won't share the spotlight

Beautiful girl

Man she was so careless

She felt like she own the grind

That was so thoughtless

Her biggest flaw

Head was filled with pride

She couldn't tell the truth

From the bigger lie

We'd always thought

She saw the bigger picture

High star fashionista

She only saw one picture

She only wanted money

To secure a better future

Men would pay a fortune

For such a beautiful creature

Now she's 21

She's pregnant plus infections

Now she watch her dreams

Facing torments and rejections

Cos she fell short

From bad decisions

Now she cries all night

Cos she's lost from her vision

Talk about pain

Talk about fears

Talk about the families

We’ve left behind

I’m at the crossroads

And I ain’t turning back

No I ain’t turning back

But the tears in my eyes

Make a man go wild

I’ll be working everyday

Just to make things right

Just to make things right (no.... no... no...)

Since he was a kid

Kent only got one dream

And he's putting in work

Cos he only want one thing

Not attention or affection

But appreciation

And pray his lyrics

Be the key to this generation

I know the mistakes I made

Might catch up to me

You can throw shades at me

But you can never walk through me

If only you know

True versions

Of stories that you heard

It's like cats playing with dogs

Reality is so weird

Sit down and watch the concept

Through my own eyes

I know a lotta people

Are gonna wanna tell me lie

But I've made a promise

To my future daughter

Your dad is working hard

He's tryna be a better father

He's gonna make sure

All the things he lacked

Ain't gonna be the same thing

That his baby lack

And he wants you

To make him one promise

To be smart and beautiful

Yeah I know

You'll promise
