Strapped In
Can’t change what I did in the past
That’s how I’m still here
But I've changed; now I gotta blast
Sometimes I can’t steer
Should’ve known this was gonna happen
Always taking caution
Now I gotta stay strapped in
Always told “I’m only a friend” nah stop that cappin
started locking my emotions
Can’t show ‘em or they will be broken
Used to care that’s another item that has been stolen
I been in the shadows, sit in back, and I still ain’t spoken
Been tryin to get attention but that made it worse
Now that I stop caring, people telling me that their feeling hurt
The care that I used to have eventually dispersed
Sorry but not sorry, that went out the window
I’m just a big kid from a small town
With a big heart
Always smart; getting knocked down
And that raised the bar
I remember the hardship that family saw
But they always told me to return what was given
That was all
Starting from a young age
I always knew there was another page
But I’m always the last resort
Keep falling short
Girls changing like a sport
I have not choice but to abort
A new one flies like an airport
Always pick the one that ends in court
I gotta make sure to protect the fort
My mind is made up
I won’t be a backup
I made choices that
Won’t get me caught up
Tired of meeting girls
That are stuck up
I just want one
That’s not toxic
Or used up
gotta watch my tone
Don’t know what they packin
Stop getting tricked
by that back end
Remember what I got in the future
So I gotta strapped in
Can’t change what I did in the past
That’s how I’m still here
But I've changed and now I gotta blast
Sometimes I can’t steer
Should’ve known this was gonna happen
Always taking caution
Now I gotta stay strapped in
