What Its Like (Prod. Esta)

Chorus
I know what its like to feel so hopeless
But you gotta keep going man
Just stay focused, just stay focused, yeah, just stay focused
Focus on the good shit, forget about the past
Focus on what you got, not the things you never had
Cus it aint that bad, as the world keeps spinning
Either you dyin or you livin
Verse 1
Ever since i can remember they said i couldnt do it
Tatts all over told them my future was ruined
But i told them 'get to know me first yeah, Im still human'
Grandpa asked me 'what the hell you think you doing?'
I told him 'im making music, you should take a listen
I know i aint the best but i aint talking about no bitches
Im talkin about no cars or cooking crack in moms kitchen
Im talkin about life and everything thats in my vision'
Man i swear Im so thankful for the things i was given
Speak on what i learned, hoping i can make a difference
Speak to my boy that keeps going back to prison
At the end of the day you gotta pay for your decisions
I swear man i miss him, never get the chance to visit
Ask what my goal is, its just to keep living, just keep living
Yeah, its just to keep living, just to keep ..
Chorus
I know what its like to feel so hopeless
But you gotta keep going man
Just stay focused, just stay focused, yeah, just stay focused
Focus on the good shit, forget about the past
Focus on what you got, not the things you never had
Cus it aint that bad, as the world keeps spinning
Either you dyin or you livin
Verse 2
Even when its all bad, i still keep my head up
Itll go away, i promise, life will get better
And i hate to see my boy walking around with a Beretta
Gotta watch his back he said our police dont protect us
He aintt got a girl cus he thinks he gon get set up
All thats on his mind is makin that chedda
And i said thats cool, but what you gonna do when you get it?
Your gonna buy some weed
Your gonna put it in the bank and get interest
Listen , just think of yo future
If you got that money, dont think these cats will hesitate to shoot you
Look, all Im saying is be cool bro
Never heard from him again,i hope hes cool tho
Im doing things i never thought of
Came a long way from sleeping in my niggas honda
Ask me for a quarter, ill probably give you a dollar
More you do good, less chance of meeting karma
I try to stay away from drama, cus everywhere i go now
Been so many places, but its nothing like my hometown
Heard some people hate us here, they dont even know us
Yeah Im still a kid but these niggas need to grow up
And to tell you the truth, Im the only person i can think of thats
Buying kids from the hood, cheese burgers and sodas
I just wanna make a change, man i swear
The money and the fame aint why Im here, i been working so hard
Yall should be glad for me, instead of everyone turnin' they back on me
But its alright, yeah its alright
Chorus
I know what its like to feel so hopeless
But you gotta keep going man
Just stay focused, just stay focused,yeah, just stay focused
Focus on the good shit, forget about the past
Focus on what you got, not the things you never had
Cus it aint that bad, as the world keeps spinning
Either you dyin or you livin
