12gage - Gun Powder & Smoke Lyrics

Gunpowder and smoke
Tryna live my life and tryna live it right
I had a real dark past but I've been doing fine
I had to go through the hard times and the long nights

Just to know that I can do anything in life with a positive mind
I had to grow up a lot and keep moving to the light
I had to readjust my mental, had to strengthen my spine
I had to heal emotionally, mentally in a time when I ain't think I'd ever make it through that part of my life

I had everything more than once, had nothing most of my life
Heard happiness make you rich, I'm tryna make her my wife
Been grinding hard as it gets, resharpening all the knives
That I pulled out of my back from the ones I cut out my life

Was motivated by the nights I slept inside the whip
Nothing to lean on but the seat that I was driving in
Tryna stay afloat under the problems I was diving in
But still ain't blame no soul except myself and I survived through it

Looking around like now what else can I do
How could I ever point some fingers when it's me in these boots
I need the truth, what I see in me sober be the proof
For knowing everything is possible when you believe it to for real

So I've been looking in the mirror like I love you man
Even when everything broken you got some bigger plans
You ain't afraid to let it go you know you'll get it back
And even if somebody took your legs you know you got your hands

I never had anyone's shoulder I could cry on
I only had my hands and my heart for me to rely on
I never had the comfort of sleeping without a light on
Cause my inner anger is the boogie man I try to hide dawg

And as I grow I learn to find balance in everything see
The darkest past have the brightest future if you can proceed
To keep on keeping on and fight beyond feeling defeat
Don't take the loss but the lesson that makes you get up to your feet

And keep it pushing no matter how hard they pushing back
Even if it don't go as planned I know there's a reason for that
Get back on track and keep it moving don't worry what they been doing
Just focus on yourself and the reasons on why you do it up in the first place

Let them hate never be afraid never fear the change
Even if it ain't what you think forward is the only way
Just keep it moving never thinking that it is impossible
Just try and try until you do it

I'd like to welcome y'all to Gunpowder and Smoke
