Fragile Lives

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 growin up

Gotta let go of the past

Not every childhood friendship is gonna last

People grow up, and move on for better or worse

All we prayin for is that it doesn't end in a church

We used to go on L rides like the cities hours

But now we all got real jobs, and shitty hours

And those the lucky ones who earn a check

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

Cause I seen a lot of people on that path

And it sucks cause they almost never come back

It's a sad truth the life it's ruthless right?

As a kid we never thought we could lose the fight

Shit we all have big dreams back in middle school

But real life is played by different rules

And reality hurts so why I always keep a bag of the purp

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

Word

[Chorus:]

Chances thrown

Nothing's free

Longing for

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 a pill bottles all that they need

We all hit a rough patch

Get back on your feet

We only got one life

(One life)

And it goes on but now with one less

N.E.V tatted on my bicep

Shit

Nick I miss you man

But I guess that fate just had a different plan

I thought me and you would be kickin it in 20 years

Talkin about 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 thought about you every fuckin day you've been gone

AG, Shawn and Glock we all getting through the pain

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

You even had faith in me back when we was kids

You said id get big back when nobody did

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

Cause I know you still up there holding me down

So brotha save me a spot if something happens to me

Until then

Enjoy the show from the balcony seats

I love you man

[Chorus]

[Verse 3:]

For the kids who've lost friends and family in the past

For the kids who messed up and wanna take it all back

We all hit a rough patch

Get back on your feet

We only got one life

(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 rappin to you

Keep in touch with all your homies

And your eye on 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 for sure

Tomorrow is not promised

[Chorus]

[Outro:]

And that's it

Ya know?

Life goes on

Gotta keep focused

Nicky

We all miss you down here brother

But we'll see you though

Yeah
