about

Everyone meets people who need uplifting, and that’s totally okay. But it can be a double-edged sword; these people can drag you and others down, and that’s not okay. It could even be that you are the issue. Whatever it may be, people drift away from one another. Sometimes your peers or loved ones are not yet ready to rise above their demons. Don’t let yourself be held back in the process. You can’t fix what you didn’t break.This song brings forth this message, but on a optimistic note. Be great, conquer your greatest fears. Invest every ounce of energy into your daily routine. Spend all your love, it will come back.

lyrics

My whole life created Demons,
Demons are hard to round up,
Cigarettes older reasons,
Reasons start to count up,

Seasons change with the people, people change in the city,
And cities never change, dawg, pity
Steady to hold no thought, lead me to pose my facts
I made it this far, props? Don't even toast to that,
20 years old too swift, plenty of goals too fast,
ready to cope with, fixing in on my go to stat

You're overboard? Line up,
You want your dough? Line up,
Like older folks? Tell them older folks they showtime's cut,
They heard you so fired up,
Say word I'm so clad up,
Hurts to see no Cheddar,
Oh no I'm so feta,

Oh no I'm so finer,
A softer-spoke kinda,
Top of the tote, don't topple out, like oak pine yeah,
I feel I'm way past ready, ready for go time yeah,
I wear my heart on heavy, plenty of broke lines here,

[CHORUS]

Can't fix what you didn't break, (For real Baby-girl, don't hate)
And you can't give love if you can't take, (You live, learn, love, and relate)
But you maintain be straight,
Take care, be safe,
And don't be good, be great,
Don't be good, be great,

[VERSE 2]

I've been doing too much looking back, at night,
Everything I said it lacks truth, fact swipe,
Though I know I don't mean no hate, I mean peace,
Still she getting no cake, I'm saving the cream sweets,

Take a fallback if I let her wife me,
Bitch-made, streaming tears like a live feed,
If you're like me, likely, you don't trip on it,
Slip on it and you might take a trip to IC' ,

Spent a whole lifetime making what I be,
I was on the front lawn raking on the leaves
While momma said that we were staying here for good we'll never leave,
Hated making new friends, settled with the seeds

But then it seems the seed and the plant sprout,
Under my tree I built a team and then I branched out,
And I know you wish you would've, but you can't now,
Fuck a handout, rather stand out
Look boys, I'm the man now

Let it brand out
Found a little dough, then it panned out
Working's easy if you make the plan count,
Homies understand now,
Ladies pulled the friend cards out fast, now they dash pulling pants down

Damn, all I have now, It can't bloom with the fam' out
Stay tuned like a handheld,
Haven't had a chance to say how I'm living can't lie mane,
Wheeling on a Bi-chick, call that chick a bike Lane (...What?)

[CHORUS x 2]

Can't fix what you didn't break, (For real Baby-girl, don't hate)
And you can't give love if you can't take, (You live, learn, love, and relate)
But you maintain be straight,
Take care, be safe,
And don't be good, be great,
Don't be good, be great.
