Once upon a time
When my parents got divorced
I was just a youngin' just 11 years of age
26 years old and I still feel the pain
Made a promise I won't ever make the same mistake
Made a promise I would always live for better days
That's why lately I've been searching for the meaning of my path
That's why I've been praying I just want to understand
How you're proud of who I am
What's the meaning of your plan
I've been working on my own I ain't even got a squad
Barely making rent bout to get a second job
Me and my wife giving ten percent to God
We've been praying for direction saying
Tell me something I don't know
Show me something I can't see
Show me something real
Tell me something I don't know
Show me something I can't see
Show me something real
I ain't seen my mom in years
Tryna hold back all my tears
Sometimes I just want to call I want to tell her how I feel
But we barely get the chance cause she's living in Vancouver and I'm living U.K
Guess that's just the way it is
Guess that's just the way it feels
I've been out here praying I've been out here tryna heal
I've been out here writing I'm just tryna keep it real
Working on pride tryna be a better man
Tryna be on better terms with my Dad
Tryna open up
Tryna show respect
There's so much I want to say but I keep it in my chest
Cause I left when I was young I came back as a man
Had to learn it on my own so I pray he understands
When I needed him the most I was stuck in Canada
Twelve years gone and we never got them back
But it's just the way it is
Tell me something I don't know
Show me something I can't see
Show me something real
Tell me something I don't know
Show me something I can't see
Show me something real
Tell me something I don't know
Show me something I can't see
Show me something real
Tell me something I don't know
Show me something I can't see
Show me something real
Tell me something I don't know
Show me something I can't see
Show me something real
Tell me something I don't know
Show me something I can't see
Show me something real
Show me something real
