Remedy's Interlude

(album: The Chang Project - 2017)

[Remedy:]
The youngest in it but the man in da house
I remember doing bad, bro
Bad was the culture
In high school I roll 'round with a head full of doubts
Thinking there's no way I'm making it out
Shit, now I'm doing big advance, bringing fans and shit out
If the businnes ain't cool than we finish it out
Used to slurge, now I'm stacking, trying to manage accounts
Doing what I love, what I went thru ain't that damaging now
Only spend 'cause I never could, was used to a drought
Free all my dogs in the pen, don't get used to the pound
Niggas was born guilty, ain't no use for a trial
Niggas used to deal the drugs but they using them now
What you know about a check and you talk 'cause you can't breathe
What you know about a tube in your nose 'cause you can't eat
Doc told me I coldn't walk, that was hard to receive
My only goal was playing ball, that made it harder to dream
Feel like the higher that I go, the harder it get
But the more shoot my shot the harder to miss
Woke up from my coma in a bed full of piss
Look down at my stomach, seen scars, back full of shit
Hole in my throat, mouth dry, I would beg for a sip
For anything that was 'round, Pops would sneak me a drip
Moms would visit all the time, lean over and kiss
She kissed my skin but my [?] hit, she ain't knowing it
Turn away from me and crying think I ain't notice
All this pain she was feeling inside, was keeping me focused
On my dreams, my businnes and vision, bank account growing
And sat up to counting up, this high kinda of emotions
Keep my foot up on the padal, no time for chilling and coasting
On my way to the top, I hear it's lonely where I'm going
Now I'm looking out my window, watching all this rain
Got me thinking 'bout my pain, wish I could watch it away
It just turnt 2017, I cried yesterday
In my mama arms like somebody died yesterday
See, it's hard sometimes to be the one to stand up
When you can't stand up, but I still manned
Admitting my depression 'cause I'm never too tough
Like this fake ass rappers, they just act too much
Remedy gon' be himself, that's one thing that's for sure
My frown turnt into a smile when my brother opened his door

[Remedy & Nef The Pharaoh:]
All I needed was my family
All I needed was my family
All I needed was my family
That's the only thing that keep me happy
Uooo-Uooo
All I needed was my family
Yeah
'Cause they the only people that'll keep a nigga happy
