Lessons Lyrics

Yeah, one more time

Yeah

Same people that you lift up are gon' let you fall

They gon' leave you down in the dirt til you're left to crawl

And then they coming right back around like a tetherball

Expecting you to answer the very second you get a call

So many times I led myself in this trap

Look at that, it's no wonder my heart turned cold and so black

Watch the people smiling at you cuz when the day is a wrap

They gon' wait til you ain't looking to put a knife in your back

WHY

Stay on your path, and don't let nobody get in your way

You only get one chance at this life, so make it great

You gon' see the envy in people once you start getting paid

They never chased their dreams so they gon' wanna fill you with shade

Never be toning it down, never be giving it fake

Even when you're on the ground, always stay true for your sake

Yeah, and don't let no one put you on the shelf

You don't need love from no one else if you got some for yourself

Ay

Nowadays, so many people ain't know what's right

They never takin' chances, they never wanna go roll the dice

Spending time online, but there is more to life

Just hide behind those comments I bet you that you alone at night

Wooh

Sometimes the one's who are closest to you all wish you fell

Listen well, I know your mind can make you sit and dwell

But when you're feeling all stuck inside of that prison cell

Don't ever think of quitting, just back up and then give em hell

Look, It is my time now, won't slow down til I'm gone

Friends gon' tell you that you will make it then they hate it when you get on

Ain't that sad now right, I guess they found no light

Inside the darkest days you're blamed cuz they can't climb those heights

Remember who you are at any moment that you're knocked down

No one's perfect, that's a facade, don't let anybody push you around

They gon' doubt, stand your ground, ain't no time for turning back now

Only you can make yourself great, stay on that route and never fall out

Yah

Dedication, I never could start again

My whole life I told everyone that I was gonna win

Manifesting all my dreams like ABC's til the end

Learned the hard way on this road that there's no help they will lend

It's just you and yourself, don't ever give in to fear

In hard times, you gon' shine when things don't seem so clear

Look, your path can feel so dark when there's no one else

Just don't forget the place you came from and stay true to yourself

HEY

I ask the lord can he save my soul

These nights are long and they get so cold

Sometimes I'm high, then I feel so low

I try to rise and I will not fold

Never change the pace you can see in my eyes

Got food for thought, take a walk in my mind

Even if I'm tired on the road that I'm on

I'ma give my all til my days are gone

Yeah
