Fragile Lives

[Intro]

Yeah Shit it sucks growing up man

Shit changes

You lose touch with people

You lose friends along the way

But you just gotta keep going man Yeah

[Verse 1]

Man it sucks growing up, gotta let go of the past

Not every childhood friendship is going to last

People grow up and move on, for better or worse

Always praying for us that it doesn't end in a church

We used to go on L rides like the city's ours

But now we all got real jobs and shitty hours, huh

And those the lucky ones who earn a check

The ones who don't sit at home all day and blow percocets

Cause I've seen a lot of people on the path

And it sucks cause they almost never come back

It's the sad truth to life, it's ruthless, right?

As a kid we never thought that we could lose the fight

Shit we all had big dreams back in middle school

But real life is played by different rules

And reality hurts

So I always keep a bag of the purp

And pray for the best until they put my ass in the dirt, word

[Hook]

Chances thrown, nothing's free

Longing for what used to be

Still it's hard, hard to see

Fragile lives, shattered dreams

[Verse 2]

For the teenage mothers with a baby to feed

For the kids who think the pill bottle's all that they need

We all hit a rough patch, get back on your feet, we only got one life

And it goes on, but now we're one less

NEV tatted on my bicep, shit

Nick I miss ya man, but I guess that fate just had a different plan

I thought you and me would be kicking it in twenty years

Talking bout our wife and kids over a couple beers

And now you're not here

And it's hard to even say in a song

But shit I've thought about you every fuckin' day you've been gone

A.G. Shawn and Glock we all getting through the pain

But just know that Norwalk ain't gon' ever be the same

You even had faith in me back when we was kids

You said I'd get big back when nobody did

So now I'mma do this rap shit for the both of us now

Cause I know your still up there Holding me down

So brother, save me a spot if something happens to me

Until then, enjoy the show from the balcony seats

I love you man

[Hook]

[Verse 3]

For the kids who lost friends and family in the past

For the kids who messed up and want to take it all back

We all hit a rough patch get back on your feet. We only got one life

If you got a dream you gotta get it man

At least try, shit, you may never get a second chance

As a kid we never thought that it could happen to you

For better or worse It's how I'm here rapping to you

Keep in touch with all your homies and your right in the prize

We all slip and fall down push your shit to the side

Only got one life better live while you got it

Cause only one thing's for sure: tomorrow is not promised

Yeah

[Hook]

Chances thrown, nothing's free

Longing for what used to be

Still it's hard, hard to see

Fragile lives, shattered dreams

[Outro]

And that's it, you know

Life goes on. Got to keep focus

Nicky We all miss ya down here brotha

We'll see you though

Yeah
