Chorus (x2)

There was no time for resting,
I saw the people and places that I was destined
and every move that made without question,
paid from my investment,
I'm a just a young kid in Dennison.



Verse One

East 15 and I’m chilling, I’m in my teens,
big Bro has left home, still living up in the D,
he always came to visit, at times would disagree with my father,
have a heated conversation then he’d leave,
but we love each other deeply,
sometimes in family’s we rub each other the wrong way,
especially when you tired and you having a long day,
and you just wanna rest, kick back, relax chill,
now Debt Collectors knocking for my Step-Mom’s tax bill,
they threatening to take away my shit and it wasn’t my debt,
but took six hundred out and gave em’ all of it
and I’m thinking what a Bitch! and she didn’t even pay me back,
my Pops took the hit, man she on another tip,
around that time I started thinking life was unfair,
I formed the attitude that I got only one year to go get it,
no limits, my whole spirit
and couldn't figure out why some people are so timid,
went to my first funeral, it left me jaded,
I came home and felt weighted from my school friend David passing away,
the sky went grey and then the sky fell
and felt the same when it was Kidco from Tribel,
rest in peace, we used to play each other beats
and his music was the dopest in the streets, no question,
tomorrow‘s never promised, everyday is a blessing,
that’s why I make an album every year, no resting.


Chorus


Verse Two

I couldn’t cope with the roaches,
made it harder to focus on my dopeness,
pest control so hopeless
and I noticed them every other moment,
eventually they went away,
I'm closest to my Brother out of all of my family,
in 2002 we all got hit with a tragedy,
I lost my Grandmother and my Uncle within sixty days of each other,
I’m standing under coffin and it’s a shoulder crusher,
it was the heaviest thing I’ve ever had to hold up,
now in heaven they sing, I’m finding as a grown up
life’s a difficult thing, so everyday I woke up,
put my heart and my soul into music to blow up,
thinking back to Consist and JQ,
J was my best friend, but he went away to Prison back in the day,
when we were adolescents and chillin’ around the way
and everything was sweet! it’s never doom and gloom,
I’m learning everything I can about life living out of me and Reuben’s room,
I made so many friends and I met a lot of people,
I was a good kid, but did a couple things illegal,
it’s like you live and you learn, we live in world where
everyone is kinda submerged in something they heard,
but I’mma live like I’m making a testament
to just doing my very best, yup! No resting.
