Backstage Pass Lyrics

For years i couldn't get any peace

Get any sleep

Tryna block with the stress with the weed

Had to kill my ego, it was a second degree

I always felt this life was something I would I never complete

That was

Until I met my nephew and niece

Me and my brother are maturing and we're settling beef

And something that my mother thought she would never see

I hugged my nephew and my niece and felt the pressure release

There's nothing more important than the fam

Probably the only people who could tell you who I am

And I don't visit as much as I know I need to

But do this for them and I hope that they understand

I been so focused on building this life for you

I be forgetting that I should be building a life with you

In other words I should be there more

Making memories, with the people I care for

Like

My mother had an accident and lost her vision

She smiling but I can tell that somethings different

I be scared for her

I'm tryna balance being there for her

While tryna remember I'm also on a mission

Let me get give you all backstage stage pass

The show that I call "my life", ain't ever been facade

Hospital visits, and visiting graveyards

So Late nights call be giving me faint heart

Cah we lost one, then another one

Last year, we had a funeral like every other month

Couple mothers want their son back

Like the summers gone.

The pains gonna always come

You can run you wanna run

But it never leaves

When the Family tree lose a leaf

Better grieve

My uncle died, now carry his energy huh

When the buried him it felt like they just buried me

And Now it's me that if struggles to rest in peace

Lemme give you all a backstage pass

Monetising my trauma

Profiting off the past

I know the pain well

A lot of it's in my heart

Long sleeves tee

Covering up my scars

Let me get give you all backstage stage pass

The show that I call "my life", ain't ever been facade

Hospital visits, and visiting graveyards

So Late nights call be giving me faint heart

Cah we lost one, then another one

Last year, we had a funeral like every other month

couple mothers want their son back

Like the summers gone.

The pains gonna always come

You can run you wanna run

But it never leaves

When the Family tree lose a leaf

Better grieve

My uncle died, now carry his energy huh

When the buried him it felt like they just buried me

And Now it's me that if struggles to rest in peace
