bradonte - dos mefinitely lyrics

[voicemail from mom]:
hey braden, umm people are trying to get ahold of you ’cause you’re the only one that cares, but i didn’t know if you heard that your dad dropped dead., so.. okay? why don’t you give me a call? bye

[bradonte]:
they say you never know what you got until it’s gone
but my dad just died and i still have no clue what we was on
so i think whoever said that stupid sh-t was just wrong
but all that i can do about it now is make this song

did i respect him? did i care? did i forget he wasn’t there? did i forgive the things he did to me and all his other kids, never knowing when to quit way too addicted to the sh-t, always looking for another pipe or line to hit

did i waste my time by callin’ just to see how he was doin’ cuz i knew that from his view talking to me was one of few things in his life that he valued? but i wonder to this day, was i real or was i fake

and i stole this beat from logic ’cause we got a lot in common
both our daddies ran away and left us alone with our mommas
man, for some stupid reason couldn’t put down the rocks
even when they had a baby wasn’t strong enough to stop

so we got the same upbringing maybe not the same talent
we both intelligent we got minds as sharp as talons
and i know i ain’t as good as him it’s gonna take a while, i’m recording in my closet i can’t even freestyle, meanwhile imma keep on tryin’ no denyin’ that i put in work it’s hard to find the time when i get out of cl-ss and go to work my one day off is sunday and i spend it in the studio but i just don’t know what else there is for me to do, ya know?

now i ain’t gonna lie and say i know his whole life story
and i don’t wanna try and ride the coattails of his glory
it just seems to me the only way this sh-t can be explained
is that we got the same mind, the same lives just different names
and i ain’t tryna be a poser man i know that sh-t is lame
i’m just tryna get the word out there – make people hear my name
i wanna tell my story, share the lessons in my pain:
the game gon’ k!ll you n-gg-, unless you k!ll the game
no matter what they say ’bout you just know we’re all the same
and if you let ’em hold you back then you the one who’s gettin’ played

waitin’ for the week that i ain’t waitin’ on a paycheck
i been up for three days and they amazed that i ain’t sleep yet

this right here is such a h-ll of beat
that i’m tryin’ my best to f-ck it up and bring the heat
you know i can’t rap slow, i gotta keep up the speed
but first lemme stop to take to hit of this weed
took me way too long to figure out that that’s all i need
and if you really know me, well then you know what i mean
i was movin’ too fast, and got dependent on the speed
until i finally learned it’s better just to stick to climbin’ trees

i never even thought i’d get addicted to nicotine
but nikki used to be the least concerning thing gripping me
at least i finally got myself away from the tripping scene
and i’ve never spent a lot of time by just sippin’ lean
shifting my priorities and working on getting clean
smokin’ less and savin’ more i’m talking both kinds of green

i’m always makin’ something either money or music
and when i first heard that voicemail i knew how to use it
rap is what i wanna do but it would be foolish of me if i put my time into it now instead of school

it’s in the back of my mind but i think about it often
cuz a lot of rappers nowadays i think that i could top ’em
and i know i got some sk!ll right now and it could even blossom
’til my idols turn to brethren and we’ll never be forgotten

so i gotta keep on grindin’ all the time all day in every way ’cause even though the sun ain’t shining i can tell the rain gon’ fade and on the days it’s hard to smile, i’ll just think of why i’m trying, take a look inside remind myself this sh-t takes time

and what i gotta do now is figure out the right balance
’cause i know that i was meant to be way above the average
i want my hands to be covered in rings, not callouses….

today’s my f-cking birthday now i’m 21 and savage
