about

A song about what "The Norm" to me is.

lyrics

Verse 1:

Yeah it's just day the day for me
I don’t expect ya to understand or wait for me
I don’t expect ya to get me truly I ain’t sorry
I don’t expect ya to resonate with my Life story
But it’s cool if you do
I ain’t tripping, 'cause I know we ain’t cut from same root
My life a tragedy I could paint the whole town blue
But that, just how it be
When you’ve rocked with the same truth
That coincides with your identity,
There’s only one you
I got some homies from the streets
some my homies living with views
Yet we vibing all the same, 'Cause of the music on the cue
Used f*ck with everybody now I only f*ck with few
Cause I could smell the ingenuine fumes from the other room
Like damn crack a window
Sleeping with demons Ima need myself a pillow
And blanket for this cold cold world
Hope you understand my pain
Cause I’m broken ass dude, but it’s chill tho aye
501 flows Dededo, Kaiser
Roadrunner, now I’m seeing dough in the horizon
I grew up pretty ill, if you know me
Young snooze grew up in the Vill i was brodie
Living in this box, till the love for the music showed me
That the world is yours and now I’m making bops close to the shore
What all this for? I don’t really know,
But at least my heart fulfilled and furreal I’m out for more
More In store like a Mom & Pop
Making songs hotter than empanadas we in stock
King car sipping, no tripping, man we keep it raw
All I got is a dolla all my weed and my DAW

Chorus:

All the walks of life
I hold em dear
I don’t live with spite
I live with fear

‘Cause with me it the norm
‘Cause With me it the norm


Momma used to work graveyard,
Father dead to me, ain’t no graveyard
Could ever save me from the trauma
Remember all of the times we was hurting
Broken home, but at least I could feel like
I deserve to eat my fruits of labor
I do no favors. I am the alpha,
Ain’t no debating when you get the paper
Lotta these people ego trippin,
Like they need to lace up
And they always lyin' in lies I be the lion tamer
Remember mama praying
She Tryna make it work the sight of her crying living
In my head rent free, couldn’t afford to
Live this life, with not thinking bout the bills
Peeking in her room, don’t know what to feel
Seeing tears running down her cheek un--
--certainty was the norm but so was God too,
Had to be strong, cause being strong was all we got
New problems everyday
Knew about it but we stayed
Level headed kept the love
Kept the positivity
Yeah mama I know, and mama I know
That this life come wit trials and tribulations
I wanna make you proud of me
