I lost a lot of friends back when Dom popped My first album, first week, swear it all flopped Labels on my line, then the calls stopped Interscope told me straight, I'm a long shot Then Dad died, I almost beat him to it And people want a star, look at me to do it I got off the drugs And now I sit here wondering where the fuck I was It's been a long year Crying on the phone, something wrong here Momma told me, "Gotta keep it strong dear" Fuck is goin' on here? It's been a long year Crying on the phone, something wrong here Momma told me, "Gotta keep it strong dear" Fuck is goin' on here? I left the love of my life Just to love what I write Just so I can look back and be proud of what I done with my life Tell 'em double my price, till the money is right We done sacrificed too much to let 'em all fuck with my light Fuck out my sight I do this shit for a young me So if you listening, don't you run please 'Cause even in the dark times The kids wear crowns, everything is all Right Everything is all, right I got off the drugs And now I sit here wondering where the fuck I was It's been a long year Crying on the phone, something wrong here Momma told me, "Gotta keep it strong dear" Fuck is goin' on here? It's been a long year Crying on the phone, something wrong here Momma told me, "Gotta keep it strong dear" Fuck is goin' on here? Hey man it's John, I love you bro, I miss you Your new shit's fucking crazy I already know I told you man, everything's gonna be alright Just fuckin', look at you now!
