Can’t change what I did in the past

That’s how I’m still here

But I've changed; now I gotta blast

Sometimes I can’t steer

Should’ve known this was gonna happen

Always taking caution 

Now I gotta stay strapped in


Always told “I’m only a friend” nah stop that cappin 

started locking my emotions

Can’t show ‘em or they will be broken

Used to care that’s another item that has been stolen

I been in the shadows, sit in back, and I still ain’t spoken


Been tryin to get attention but that made it worse

Now that I stop caring, people telling me that their feeling hurt

The care that I used to have eventually dispersed

Sorry but not sorry, that went out the window


I’m just a big kid from a small town 

With a big heart

Always smart; getting knocked down 

And that raised the bar

I remember the hardship that family saw

But they always told me to return what was given 

That was all

Starting from a young age 

I always knew there was another page

But I’m always the last resort

Keep falling short

Girls changing like a sport 

I have not choice but to abort

A new one flies like an airport

Always pick the one that ends in court 

I gotta make sure to protect the fort

 

My mind is made up 

I won’t be a backup

I made choices that

Won’t get me caught up

Tired of meeting girls 

That are stuck up

I just want one

That’s not toxic 

Or used up


gotta watch my tone

Don’t know what they packin

Stop getting tricked

by that back end

Remember what I got in the future

So I gotta strapped in


Can’t change what I did in the past

That’s how I’m still here

But I've changed and now I gotta blast

Sometimes I can’t steer

Should’ve known this was gonna happen

Always taking caution 

Now I gotta stay strapped in
