Hell & Back

(album: Twenty One - 2021)

Yeah
I really wish someone told me life was this hard
I really wish I didn't feel this pain in my heart
I can't believe I really even made it this far
You can tell I been through hell and back, you can see the scars on me, I been through hell and back
You can see the scars on me, I been through hell and back
Lately, it's been hard to breathe, It's like my lungs collapsed
You can see the scars on me, I been through hell and back
Tell 'em that

I ain't giving up, that shit ain't in my blood
I've been judged, I been told that everything I do sucks
I've abused this alcohol, I keep refilling my cup
I seen them stab me in the back but come around like it's love
Been through the ringer, and life just keep on tryna fight me like it's Jerry Springer
But you know I never back down, I'ma keep on swinging
I've been searching for my purpose, I've been looking for my meaning
Maybe I'm here to teach the people to chase what they been dreaming
Yeah the journey been crazy, I ain't gon lie about it
Lost a lot of people on the way, I cried about it
I got my woman's love, I think I would die without it
I was at the bottom, had to fight to get the hell up out it

Yeah
I really wish someone told me life was this hard
I really wish I didn't feel this pain in my heart
I can't believe I really even made it this far
You can tell I been through hell and back
You can see the scars on me, I been through hell and back
You can see the scars on me, I been through hell and back
Lately, it's been hard to breathe, It's like my lungs collapsed
You can see the scars on me, I been through hell and back
Tell 'em that

I can't believe this platform that I gained
I've been battling my demons since a really young age
And all I ever wanted was to help somebody with pain
Never think you are alone, way too many feel the same
Can't lie, often wonder how I made it this far
Thought I'd be dead by 21, I've been hiding the scars
I'm a closed book who only opens up through the art
Never question my intentions, only spoke from the heart
I'm just a small-town kid holding onto my dreams
Since day one, I never talk, only let the music speak
Dark nights, bright days, but there's no going back
The top really means more when you been through hell and back

Yeah
I really wish someone told me life was this hard
I really wish I didn't feel this pain in my heart
I can't believe I really even made it this far
You can tell I been through hell and back, you can see the scars on me, I been through hell and back
You can see the scars on me, I been through hell and back
Lately, it's been hard to breathe, It's like my lungs collapsed
You can see the scars on me, I been through hell and back
Tell 'em that
