Fragile Lives

[Intro] Yeah Shit it sucks growing up man Shit changes You lose touch with people You lose friends along the way But you just gotta keep going man Yeah [Verse 1] Man it sucks growing up, gotta let go of the past Not every childhood friendship is going to last People grow up and move on, for better or worse Always praying for us that it doesn't end in a church We used to go on L rides like the city's ours But now we all got real jobs and shitty hours, huh And those the lucky ones who earn a check The ones who don't sit at home all day and blow percocets Cause I've seen a lot of people on the path And it sucks cause they almost never come back It's the sad truth to life, it's ruthless, right? As a kid we never thought that we could lose the fight Shit we all had big dreams back in middle school But real life is played by different rules And reality hurts So I always keep a bag of the purp And pray for the best until they put my ass in the dirt, word [Hook] Chances thrown, nothing's free Longing for what used to be Still it's hard, hard to see Fragile lives, shattered dreams [Verse 2] For the teenage mothers with a baby to feed For the kids who think the pill bottle's all that they need We all hit a rough patch, get back on your feet, we only got one life And it goes on, but now we're one less NEV tatted on my bicep, shit Nick I miss ya man, but I guess that fate just had a different plan I thought you and me would be kicking it in twenty years Talking bout our wife and kids over a couple beers And now you're not here And it's hard to even say in a song But shit I've thought about you every fuckin' day you've been gone A.G. Shawn and Glock we all getting through the pain But just know that Norwalk ain't gon' ever be the same You even had faith in me back when we was kids You said I'd get big back when nobody did So now I'mma do this rap shit for the both of us now Cause I know your still up there Holding me down So brother, save me a spot if something happens to me Until then, enjoy the show from the balcony seats I love you man [Hook] [Verse 3] For the kids who lost friends and family in the past For the kids who messed up and want to take it all back We all hit a rough patch get back on your feet. We only got one life If you got a dream you gotta get it man At least try, shit, you may never get a second chance As a kid we never thought that it could happen to you For better or worse It's how I'm here rapping to you Keep in touch with all your homies and your right in the prize We all slip and fall down push your shit to the side Only got one life better live while you got it Cause only one thing's for sure: tomorrow is not promised Yeah [Hook] Chances thrown, nothing's free Longing for what used to be Still it's hard, hard to see Fragile lives, shattered dreams [Outro] And that's it, you know Life goes on. Got to keep focus Nicky We all miss ya down here brotha We'll see you though Yeah
