Face the Music / Back Lyrics

I used to pray for times, let me not start like Meek

That was his best song, I ain't even seen my peak

Can't drop a fire track just to cool it down next week

With some average punchlines and a hook so weak imagine

Life is crazy fam half the time I wanna scream

I'm living in a nightmare trying to chase a dream

I had a slow start but now I'm finally getting steam

The little engine that could got a new scheme

98 percent knows I'm a make it

But this is for that two Rich

So all the haters here's a new pitch

Strike out you (Bleep)

And that's only the beginning

I'm throwing curveballs the whole inning

I can't wait until the view tick

When it's time to face the music

Presenting to you Mr. Wonder from Da 7

Aye

Mic check two one time to punch in

Wonder putting heat on the track no Russian

Beats in my head finna cause a concussion

Everybody talking, let me end the discussion

Who you know got it quite like me

I bring the raps and the beats call it R&B

Surprisingly ain't own a mixtape, just CD's

Grew on that Michael and that Whitney spitting soul for free

I done came from a background watching SmackDown

Life would pin us real hard when the money cracks down

Heard a one and a two luckily we kicked out

Cuz my father beat cancer it was a sick bout

Through it all man I always had the notes on the page

I was bumping em or making em no matter the age

I been attached to the music like a aux cord

Can't let the dream die keep me plugged oh Lord (Oh Lord)

I've been tryna put my life on track

But it's been one step forward and two steps back

Luckily my parents didn't raise a quitter

Cuz this life thing makes me reconsider

If the dream is worth the chase

Cuz this pain is hard to face

To live a mundane life I might as well die

So Imma aim to be a Wonder, might as well try

Take two against the odds we gon make due

Foot been on the gas so they ask what my break do

Time flies but I'll drive even faster

Either speed into my future or I'll crash in disaster

Cuz pain orchestrated the soundtrack to my life

Made a minor melody about my strife

But I think it's time I start to compose

Let me tell y'all bout the highs, I'm getting tired of lows

Never wanted to be the come up kid

Cuz that would mean that I was down because of what she did

And my aunty taught me better so now it's lesson learned

If she wants to start a fire let the bridge burn

Didn't listen cuz I turned into a fire fighter

And now it's bigger than what she started with that little lighter

And now I find myself burned again

Old scars coming back from when I was ten

Can I just get a moment of weakness

A moment of weakness

Cuz I don't know if I can defeat this

Slowly but surely man I realize

It's just me myself and I

So I gotta make it with or without you

Cuz this is about me, not about you

Haven't I lasted long enough

Cuz I ain't strong enough

Someone please set me free

Don't save it

It don't gotta be saved

Two role models they the ones who paved the way for me

And I met some loyal folks who always pray for me

Know they gon stay for me

I just trying to make em proud

Cuz they're seeing Mr. Wonder from Da 7

While they looking down from heaven

And I know they gon be screaming loud

If Tule made it yea I know they gon be screaming loud

I've been tryna put my life on track

But it's been one step forward and two steps back

Luckily my parents didn't raise a quitter

Cuz this life thing makes me reconsider

If the dream is worth the chase

Cuz this pain is hard to face

To live a mundane life I might as well die

So Imma aim to be a Wonder, might as well try
