Traumatic ft. DJ Grumble Lyrics

I feel fine when I sit late at night writing lyrics to a song that I've had on my mind

And every time I do I'm brought back to a moment where I didn't have a care

Despite the negativity in the air

I'm home from school, man I'd be so quick to turn the TV on and watch my cartoons

Or look at Nick at Nite laughing when I saw Carl Winslow or when Michael Kyle said

Eh, No

I miss my home, I miss it when we'd all congregate at Nan's place

Having dinner, celebrating holidays, it didn't matter if the weather rained, shined, or snowed

We were all together, nowhere I'd rather go

The good old days where the family never fought

Oh, what I would trade to go back to the times

In the picture frames I hold dear

Now all I have is a thought, I'm thinking of myself saying

Life's traumatic, could you tell me now where I'd be

If my mama had died when I was sixteen

Life goes on, but I feel the pain every day, it don't go away

Life's traumatic but the pages keep rolling on

I wish I knew enough to know how to make it stop

And just pause for a minute

Let me breathe deep, let me fight the trauma

Cause I still have it

I'm alright when I'm sitting on the job

Overwhelmed by the duties that they try to cram on top of my day

It's way too much, but then they try to say the problem is me

I'm in too deep

And then I get home, I'm so tired but I'm up till the crack of dawn

Tryna claim my day back cause it's gone

Man I work so hard, but I swear you'll never know

Cause I shrug it off, I huff and puff and I complain

I wanna wake to a brighter day

I wanna pay bills on the due date

I wanna drive down the road without guilt, when I see a homeless person and I know I'm never too far from it

Cause all I had to give, I gave away

And I'd do it all again I wouldn't change a thing

I still walk this earth with style and grace, so allow me to list my heartaches,

I'm tryna say

Life's traumatic, could you tell me now where I'd be

If I never moved my life on down to NC

Life goes on but I miss my nan every day, she's so far away

Life's traumatic but the pages keep rolling on

I wish I knew enough to know how to make it stop

And just pause for a minute

Let me breathe deep, let me face the trauma

Cause I'm stronger than it
