Nate Aqua - Prologue Lyrics

It's who I strive to be
You can never be the person you don't try to be

If you ain't put in no work the don't come cry to me
Know you want it more than ever don't you lie to me
No don't you lie to me

I was born to the shit
Yeah I was chose to do this shit

I wasn't forced to do this shit
Cause I got love to do this shit

It's who I strive to be
You can never be the person you don't try to be
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Lemme tell a little story
All started in a white house

I ain't talking bout no president mansion
Only talking bout my house

No high hopes
Only high doubts
Full of liquor bottles with the lights out

Mama had a few problems
But she don't wanna talk about em'
Had a drink and she forgot em'

Tried to tell her she could fix it
But she didn't wanna listen
Busy cleaning up the kitchen
Picking up the broken dishes

Couldn't take another fight
Every day and every night

What a motherf*cking life
Felt the pressure like a vice

Took it to another height
Yeah

Packed up
Picked the bags up
I was headed over to my dads

Only one that I could talk to
Only one to understand

Told him every little problem
But he had problems with the meds

Never knew that he was popping
Stuff em' all up in his bed

Had a feeling he was honest so I didn't let it get to my head
Had a feeling he was on it but I didn't wanna think of the dread

Then he finally made a promise
Said he never gonna do it again

But he popped another pill
Popped another pill
Found him on the ground dead

Making me lose it
Making me lose it

Then I fell in love with making the music
Making the music

People try to tell me I'll never do it
But they'll never do it

I control my life and I'm gonna choose it
I gotta pursue it
Yeah, Yeah

Then one day it all hit me
I don't need to feel sickly

Put it in the past
Time will never last
Pray to God it ends quickly

Focus on yourself strictly
Don't get lost in no mystery

Can't win em' all
Just sing along
Gotta take the small victories

It's who I strive to be
You can never be the person you don't try to be

If you ain't put in no work the don't come cry to me
Know you want it more than ever don't you lie to me
No don't you lie to me

I was born to the shit
Yeah I was chose to do this shit

I wasn't forced to do this shit
Cause I got love to do this shit

It's who I strive to be
You can never be the person you don't try to be
Yeah, yeah, yeah
