GraftStar - I Was There Lyrics

Listen Look, You can't build your House on dust and not expect it To flop
You have to build your house on Rock so that the chimney stays Up
Build your house on trust Understanding is a must
But I'm still, busy stuck up in the Naughts and the cross
My Twins are a blessing, I will Never give up
Then, I was stuck in Northern Ireland without a job
GraftStar is my name, and I will Get back up
Cause I've been on my face, and I've always got up
Only reason I'm in N.I, I was Selfless enough
Was getting pounds in, so one Day I could buss
Not just for me, but for you and Our sons
But you wasn't satisfied so u Nagged yourself dumb
I gave up many things so our Lives could go on
You had me in shackles, and I Almost gave up
Even if I say I would leave
My heart beats like a drum
Cause I don't want my kids to End up like I was
You got what u wanted, now u Decided to leave
I gave u true love and a place to Live
Fed you, provided and gave u Everything you need
Could've been on more dates Ofcourse I agree
But You know what I've been Through, you know what I've Done
I'ts the ones you would die for The ones behind the gun
Secret in their hearts, they'll be Praying that your gone
So before I get shot I've decided I Will cut
I was there yeah
I'm still here yeah
I'll be there for Gabe and Jude
Back and forths got me going Mad
Got me thinking how the f*** Did I even get trapped
In verbal abuse
Was I really that bad?
Cause I can swear that I wasn't T Our kids never lacked
Nah, our kids never lacked a Thing
They've been through more Clothes than JD's mannequin
Pampers, milk, and baby wipes Life is sweet
Just grateful, growing up I barely Had a thing
Nor had a penny, all I ever had Was my King
I still don't have a thing all i'll Ever have are my kids
But I don't want my kids to end Up locked in a bin
My kids need their pops, the way Bars need chip, it's peak
I was there yeah
I'm still here yeah
I'll be there for Gabe and Jude
I'm tryna speak but she won't Pick up her line
She's heard me say sorry more Than billion times
Can't be always in the wrong, but She won't swallow her pride
But could we work out, even if We tried?
Im worked up without the Ecstacy
She don't even support my music Or my legacy
Like if we're together, there Shouldn't be no jealousy
Your supposed to have my back And not be my frenemy
Or a threat to me
Cause this gets to me
I'm like what the f*** are we Even meant to be?
I'm out here promoting my songs
You just pretend to be
Lord help me please
We're not supposed to yell u see
But Communicate
And forgiveness is the only key
Open doors to healing because it Will set you free
You'll never find another person That had your best interest like Me
Should we go our separate ways?
I've had enough of this and your Manipulative ways
I just feel like every man has to Go through that phaze
A phaze of heartbreak last last it's Just a stage
I tried my best to make this Relationship work
Recommended therapy just to Make my voice heard
She declined everytime, was only Thinking about herself
After I giftwrapped the globe And gave you my world
I was there yeah
I'm still here yeah
I'll be there for Gabe and Jude
Should I risk giving more time For someone who won't take Time
And only loves me in her spare Time
Because me I am rare to find
I rose like a Phoenix from the Ashes
Not once maybe thrice
So I swear imma
Keep grinding, keep trying, keep Shining
Keep writing, keep flying, keep Fighting, keep buying
Keep riding, no hiding, more Smiling just me
Blu Star Universe is what they'll See
I'm gonna impact the world Including overseas
Clothe the homeless, and give Me them food to eat
Make the world a better place For people like me
There's more to life, than just Women, I'll tell you this for free
I know many men will relate, but Wish death upon me
Some smile in my face, behind My back they are weeds
They thought I'll never grow up But little did they know imma Mustard seed
I Trust you is better than I Love You, because you may not always Trust the person you Love but You can always Love the person You Trust
