You
Life ain't handing you no lemons
You getting older, life ain't granting you more seconds
You getting desperate
There's tension
Your family thinks that you're messing
Your future
Saying your efforts
Would be better
With endeavors
That they understand
Life ain't handing you no lemons
You pray to God but he ain't accessing the message
You getting desperate
There's tension
No one seems to really get it
Depressing
Thoughts to just end it
You question
Everyone guessing
If they understand
YOU
You want somebody to understand you
You want somebody to understand you
You want somebody to understand you
You want somebody to understand your truth
"Hello hello hello, are you there?
I need you more than you seem to care
Hello hello hello, can you hear me?
Don't think I can do this without you near me!"
Johnnie grew up watching movies
He turned 18 and started chasing down the booty
Started smoking on some doobies
Abandoning all his duties
A+ student but school wasn't his choosing
See he wanted to tell stories
Tell stories
Paint pictures
Climb storeys
Play figures
But he lived in a little town where his shine was made to dimmer
Where his mind couldn't just glimmer
Tried living, life begged to differ
No friends, brothers and no sisters
My nigga was on his ones
No funds
Just drive and motivation
Ran away from home to Hollywood, he was gonna get it by any means
And that means sacrificing beliefs just to chase a dream
And Lucy had exactly what Johnnie had been craving
