1. Yeah, sometimes I wanna disappear like I just don't exist
2. Or find a time machine and take me back when I was six
3. Maybe younger, either way, I guess the point of it
4. Would be to tell that little kid that he's gon' take a lot of hits
5. Yeah, I'd probably grab your hand and tell you life is hard
6. If you got questions or you need advice, then talk to God
7. 'Cause He's the only one that listens even when you think He isn't
8. Even good people are great at making bad decisions (yeah)
9. They ain't gon' take it serious
10. You find out pretty quick that life is more than just appearances
11. I know some things we could avoid to save embarrassment
12. But everything that breaks you down can also build your character
13. 'Cause people love to see you fail, just be aware of it
14. Don't let nobody tell you who to be or write your narrative
15. Look, we're all products of the things that we experience
16. But there's a big difference between confidence and arrogance
17. You hearin' this?
18. I know that you won't get it now, but you gon' get it later
19. I know that you feel alone and no one loves you maybe
20. And you gon' cover insecurities with lots of anger
21. The weird thing is someday all of this will make you famous
22. You start to write about your life and while they're all relatin'
23. You'll make up a slogan, call it "Real, " but feel like you're the fakest
24. Wish I could tell you that you're future's nothing but amazin'
25. That's just not the case, and I guess I just don't know how to say this
26. I don't know if you can hear me or not
27. But if you can, I just want you to know
28. You gon' make a lot of mistakes
29. And they gon' laugh in our face
30. That's part of life, that's just the way that it goes
31. (That's just the way that it goes)
32. And I don't know if you can hear me or not
33. But if you can, I just need you to get it
34. I know you been questionin' life
35. Trust me, I know what it's like
36. I'm here for you if you need someone to listen
37. Do you need someone to listen?
38. See, mom and dad are not together, they took different routes
39. But you probably already knew, you gettin' older now
40. Remember back when mom picked us up from grandma's house?
41. And she hid her boyfriend in the trunk and drove a couple miles
42. Down the street and she pulled over to let him out
43. 'Cause she ain't want dad to know she had these type of dudes around
44. 'Cause last time he found out, he had to take us from her
45. You look uncomfortable, I'm sorry, let me change the subject
46. You know how we've always struggled with abandonment? (Yeah)
47. And when we feel like someone's leaving, we start panickin'? (Yeah)
48. And yo, I wish that I could say I've learned to manage it
49. You think it's bad now, but you don't know the half of it
50. Passionate, something we have never lacked
51. We see it the most when we're writing raps
52. They think it's funny now, let 'em laugh
53. I know you think it's just an outlet when you're really mad
54. But you don't know the platform you're about to have
55. I know some things about the future you ain't ready for
56. I know some things that you gon' cover up, but can't ignore
57. And what hurts is they gon' surface at the worst moments
58. And we gon' act like it don't hurt us, but it hurts, don't it?
59. We walk around with the Devil talkin' on both shoulders
60. Wish I could tell you that he disappears when we get older
61. But that's just not the case, and I know you feel out of place
62. And everything is not okay, and life can be a lot to take, but
63. I don't know if you can hear me or not
64. But if you can, I just want you to know
65. You gon' make a lot of mistakes
66. And they gon' laugh in our face
67. That's part of life, that's just the way that it goes
68. (That's just the way that it goes)
69. And I don't know if you can hear me or not
70. But if you can, I just need you to get it
71. I know you been questionin' life
72. Trust me, I know what it's like
73. I'm here for you if you need someone to listen
74. Do you need someone to listen?
75. You know how intoxicated people make us nervous?
76. To the point sometimes we shake and it feels so disturbin'
77. Don't be scared, that's just trauma tryna reach the surface
78. And tell us everyone we love is gonna try to hurt us
79. Which isn't true, but it's a lie that both of us believe in
80. Yeah, you might get a glimpse of happiness from your achievements
81. But what you'll learn as you get older, every time you reach one
82. Is you'll just make another goal that doesn't lead to freedom
83. See, some things about to happen that you can't imagine
84. At twenty-four, you'll drop an album, and you'll call it Mansion
85. At twenty-five, you'll put out Therapy and gain some traction
86. Skip to track number four, now that's a really sad one
87. Yeah, Perception's coming next, we 'bout to reach the masses
88. It sounds awesome, at the same time, it doesn't matter
89. At twenty-seven, we'll make millions, but it's really sad 'cause
90. You'll learn to realize that none of this will make you happy
91. I wish that I could look at you with empathy
92. Sometimes I feel like I've become what you were scared to be
93. Which makes it really hard to look at you with sympathy
94. 'Cause if I'm feeling bad for you, then I have to feel bad for me
95. And that's just something I feel like we don't deserve
96. That's why I'm always looking down on you, I know it hurts
97. I'm sure you have a lot of questions
98. I've been tryna search to find us both some answers
99. I'll be here for you if things get worse
