Worst Year
by Aklesso, GAWVI

Album: My Life Is A Beautiful Mess

Pre-Chorus: GAWVI
Yeah, I know it felt like everybody's worst year, yeah
2020 lookin' fuzzy, ain't nothin' clear, ya
Hmm, got my dogs out here, ain't money nowhere, yeah
But you ain't going to catch me slipping, no, you ain't
I'm riding steady
Wanted all the things that I prayed for
But I knew God wanted way more
I know you feeling down, but don't stay low
But when you look back, see how far you've come, yeah, yeah

Chorus: GAWVI
If I knew what I know now
I was barely hanging on
If I knew what I know now, yeah
I would see I'm not alone

Verse 1: Aklesso
I see new bodies on the street like time and time again
What would I do if my bro had just another day?
I put my head high, ain't tryna suffocate
They wanna see me die: not 'till this world change
They was rolling with them sticks, I had to say "Hmm"
Build a city up through bricks, I got to tell 'em, yeah, yeah
Before I lose my mind, this camp ain't concentration
I gotta stay out the pen
I got an army
Gotta pray for love: Travis, I'm sorry
Had to look both ways, but God beside me, so get behind me
The world on fire, y'all rappin bout Bugatti's and bad bodies
I'm on South Beach where my crew stay
Posted with my foolies
Ridin' low in dat hoop-tay
Tryna ball like a hoop day
Young boys screaming "Mayday!"
Can't take no more rainy days
I went through hell to find You

Chorus: GAWVI
Yeah, if I knew what I know now
I was barely hanging on
If I knew what I know now, yeah
I would see I'm not alone

Post-Chorus: GAWVI
Pray for me dog
Pray for me dog
Pray for me dog
Pray for me dog, yeah

Verse 2: Aklesso
Chasing all my dreams
Young without a thing
Sleeping on my wodies, floor dreams with no money
Raging with my woes
Can't deal with my folks, yeah
They say I'm next up, but I'm livin' like my time is now
These boys be goofy, they be soft like Charmin Ultra
My mama told me, "Life is hard, but break them boulders"
I'm from a place where they tote sticks to show they grown up
I cannot give, I cannot quit, I cannot fold up
I looked high and low
I was mighty low
Walking on this earth is like Geronimo
Felt beside me, though
Beside me, Lord
No days off like Marshawn
Can't lynch me, jit, I'm too strong
Time and time again
I was reaching for change
Pressure made me diamonds, you shopping at Kay's
I put the family first at the end of the day
Yeah, I went through hell to find you

Chorus: GAWVI
Yeah, I know it felt like everybody's worst year, yeah
2020 lookin' fuzzy, ain't nothin' clear, yeah
Hmm, got my dogs out here, ain't money nowhere, yeah
But you ain't going to catch me slipping, no, you ain't
I'm riding steady
Wanted all the things that I prayed for
But I knew God wanted way more
I know you feeling down, but don't stay low
But when you look back, see how far you've come, yeah, yeah

Chorus: GAWVI
If I knew what I know now
I was barely hanging on
If I knew what I know now
Yeah, I would see I'm not alone
If I knew what I know now
If I knew what I know now
Yeah, I would see I'm not alone
