I've seen too much hurt and too much pain Too little faith and too much strain I got big goals and even bigger dreams Way beyond the point of reaching fame I got a good girl and she loves me She stuck around when everything got ugly And helped me conquer my habits Saw the evil in me and looked right past it My mom used to say I'm just like my dad And it killed me cuz she was right But I don't wanna be like this no more No more rum to help me sleep at night I'm gonna fight my demons and hope I win No more depression, Gotta hold my chin Up to the sky, up where its high They say better days are coming I just pray it's not a lie
[Hook - Scolla] I say Goodbye to the place that I used to be Goodbye to it all, hello to tomorrow
Everything's gone wrong, what happened to my plans Everything that was great all seems so bland I've lost my taste, I've lost my touch Everything I do, I do it for the rush Cuz I got trapped in a world full of drugs Full of hate, full of girls, full of friends who can all turn fake Wonder how much more can I take Even in my own house I'm becoming out of place And I hate this shit, I gotta leave this mess I burn this weed down to relieve my stress Shit, as arrogant as it is the truth comes out Cuz yellow bricks ain't on my route I picked the road I'm on, it ain't no easy one Feel like I've been looking down the barrel of a loaded gun It's time to face my fears for once Maybe I'll see you in a couple months
[Hook - Scolla] I say Goodbye to the place that I used to be Goodbye to it all, hello to tomorrow
I'm sick of being sick, I'm losing my youth Doing drugs just to get a little boost Momma always told me you better speak the truth But she don't wanna know about all the shit that I do So I just separate myself til she got bad health Thought if I struck well, that might fucking help But it won't, money can't buy life So I'm sitting here hoping she's alive at night Hoping I could hold her close in my arms so tight Promise her that everything is gonna be alright Like she did back when I was a kid I know she can't be proud by the way that I live So I'm gon change, it's a fresh start I've been dumb in the past but I'm gonna get smart I'mma change, I can promise that You gave me everything, and I'mma give it back
[Hook - Scolla] I say Goodbye to the place that I used to be Goodbye to it all, hello to tomorrow So this is goodbye, bye So this is goodbye So this is goodbye So this is goodbye
