Cortez Lake - A Little About Me Lyrics

A little bout me, a little bout me In case you didn't know, here's a little bout me
Sittin' on the porch watchin' life roll by Thinkin' bout the days when I barely got by
Mama workin' hard but the pain ran deep Fought her own wars while she rocked me to sleep
The streets were cold, taught me how to survive Lost friends to the game but I'm still alive

Violence all around, just a way to cope But I learned from the dark how to hold on to hope
I've been down low, I've been up high I've seen it all through these weathered eyes
Now we're 45, I'm still chasin' dreams But I'm haunted by things I see
A little bout me, a little bout me In case you didn't know, here's a little bout me

I made it out the storm but the rain still falls Climbin' out the shadows, still hearin' the calls
A little bout me, a little bout me In case you didn't know, here's a little bout me
Mama's fight was tough, always had my back She battled demons while I learned to stay on track
Welfare checks and eviction notes She carried the weight but we both stayed afloat

Now I'm lookin' back, proper torn inside Fought my own battles but some scars won't hide
Made it through the trials but I still feel the burn Tryna heal the past but there's so much to learn
I've been down low, I've been up high I've seen it all through these weathered eyes
Now we're 45, I'm still chasin' dreams But I'm haunted by things I see

A little bout me, a little bout me In case you didn't know, here's a little bout me
I made it out the storm but the rain still falls Climbin' out the shadows, still hearin' the calls
A little bout me, a little bout me In case you didn't know, here's a little bout me
Past won't let go, it's a part of me still But I keep movin' forward, climbin' up that hill

The ghosts of my youth, they whisper my name But I rise above the struggle, breakin' free from the pain
A little bout me, a little bout me In case you didn't know, here's a little bout me
