12gage - Watch What I Become Lyrics

My father first steps
Addicted like my blood
Better than the plan left
Watch what I become
Leaf on the same tree
Roots in the mud
Anything like the family
Watch what I become
Hold on, listen, got a whole lot of fact for you
Heavy shit enough to fill a body bag or two
I wake up mad, sun up until it's afternoon
To talk my temper down, it's such a hazard, dude
When I was little, I was quiet, just observed things
Learned from what was real and walk away from absurd things
Family was a trip, all wanna hustle, fight or pop something
Drink until it dry, smoke anything, and steal I'm not frontin
But I was good see I was different, so I thought, uh
Yeah, I was different, I was good up to a fault, uh
When I was little, I was younger than em all
Once I started gettin' older, I was right there with em all, f*ck
Startin' trouble, causin' ruckus like a hooligan
Fightin, drinkin, skippin' class every day like a foolish kid
Minor in possession then another couple misdemeanors
Time I was a teen, up until present
Oh what we have here
See, I ain't wanna follow in my father's footsteps
I wasn't tryna be addicted like my blood
Shit, I was thinkin' I'd do better than the plan left
I just gotta be me, watch what I become
See, I ain't tryna be a leaf on the same tree
I wanna play my own roots in the mud
Now I don't wanna be anything like the family
I'ma do my own thing, watch what I become
Okay, look, I'ma tell you how I feel, right
I have trouble wakin' up, tryna sleep at night
I've been broken, I've been strugglin' my whole life
Twenty-eight years old, it's time to live my own life
It all date back before my time
The path meant for me to walk was in no straight line
You see, the man who had it paved, he was in no mind
To make any type of decision with crossin' eyes
And dottin tees, he's like he different
But just too drunk, puttin' his hands on kids and women
Like, what the f*ck, that substance blurrin' the mind
Got him so corrupt, past addiction, down the whole line
But I'm here to cut the motherf*ckin' chain off
Yeah, I'm out this bitch, the bloodline stop here
Try to doubt me, bitch, f*ck pills, f*ck alcohol
Crack, yeah, all of it, I'm cleanin' up my surroundings
So I can live my life
Cause I ain't wanna follow in my father's footsteps
Now I ain't tryna be addicted like my blood
Shit, I was thinkin' I'd do better than the plan left
I just gotta be me, watch what I become
See, I ain't tryna be a leaf on the same tree
I wanna plant my own roots in the mud
Now I don't wanna be anything like the family
I'ma do my own thing, watch what I become
Yeah, I don't wanna follow in my father's footsteps
Now I ain't tryna be addicted like my blood
Shit, I was thinkin' I'd do better than the plan left
I just gotta be me, watch what I become
See, I ain't tryna be a leaf on the same tree
I wanna play my own roots in the mud
Now I don't wanna be anything like the family
I'ma do my own thing, watch what I become
