Learning

[Chorus: Nat Dunn]

I won't be falling for those same mistakes

Always running back more than running another way

To cut the breaks

[Verse 1: Miracle]

I remember as a kid with my nose runny

Girls used to run from me

That was the primary when my pockets had no money

My skin was like chocolate, my hair felt like carpet

Family of four living in a one-room apartment

While they all shopped at Target

Salvation Army, my shopping spree

The only time my family would felt like we won the lottery

My friends committing these felonies, selling drugs, robbery

Living a government property but I was on point like archery

Even though we were stressing, still counted our blessings

Left the life of oppression to a life of depression

I went from detention then to getting arrested

Mother prayed for repent just to learn it from every lesson

Now we on

[Chorus: Nat Dunn]

I won't be falling for those same mistakes

Always running back more than running another way

To cut the breaks

Now my time has come to follow the stars until we shine

Close my eyes and picture the dark you left behind

I'm never looking back, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh

I'm never looking back, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh

[Verse 2: Allday]

Now pardon me for my bitterness

That part of me I'm not dealing with

Some self esteem I'm not speaking on

Trust me, dog, it's not picturesque

But still I kept the brush in my fingers, dog

Can't crush what I'm dreaming of

At night I would speak to God

Yeah, I know we don't speak a lot

Gimme that chance and I'll say no more

Fuck my palms, man, hit those raw

Walk in the room how heroes walk

Never really was, I tiptoe soft

Man, I had nothing, but nothing was my something

Somewhere inside my heart

I guess I knew this shit was coming

And even those nights when I could not sleep

All the things that they put on me

Shout out to my true old friends

That kid's doing good old things

May the force be with you, tryna do what I did do

Plus the things that I will do

For what you'd die for then let it kill you, dog, ay, ay, ay, ay

[Hook: Nat Dunn]

I won't be falling for those same mistakes

Always running back more than running another way

To cut the breaks

Now my time has come to follow the stars until we shine

Close my eyes and picture the dark you left behind

I'm never looking back

[Verse 3: Miracle]

All my life I've only dreamed about one thing

Man, I know that I could give the world something

Shout out out to EB, shout out to Isaac

And their whole family for always having my back

I was technically homeless, most people don't know this

But they took me in and yo, that kept me so focused

Pushed myself to the limit, put my heart and soul in it

Life could change any minute so I won't stop 'til I'm finished

I just want be the best, all I wanted was respect

My flow knee high, but I'm just getting my feet wet

Dad said, "What are you waiting for? Go and make history

But learn from your mistakes, from failure to victory"

"I promise"
