Jdvbbs - Everything You Gave to Me Lyrics

I traded the worth of my words
In hopes of something greater
Assuming that something would be there to catch my fall
Now all of these years later
It's like I ain't got any value at all
But way back when I promised
That one day I would
I'd give you everything you gave to me
I'd give you everything you gave to me
I'd give you everything you gave to me

So many false promises, so many things that I said
You believed every single one of them
You had no reason not to
Because I truly meant well
And now my life is looking grim
What do I do
What do I say
Can't expect you to keep holding onto me
So misconstrued
Been so misguided
It's all and none of my fault at the same time

Momma told me I was a little in over my head
And to hold my horses but I told her instead
Couldn't let myself be afraid of all of the risk
If I was gonna take a chance it was this, but of course things
Didn't work out the way that they was supposed
Gigs fell flat so I took my couch to the coast
At least until I could boast about life
Take homies out for drinks and toast without strife
Then moms got sick I had to make a decision
But really I didn't cuz coming home was a given
I ain't even wanna tell her cuz she so independent
But to cure a disease that's gonna challenge her living?
Man I give her anything I had on the table
Dreams turn into fables if only she could be stable
But with this music thing I could have my cake and eat it too
Write and give her anything I needed to
I know she prolly never needed proof
If she was still here she'd say I got nothin to prove
If she was still here I'd say I got no other choice
If she was still here she'd say I Don't want you to choose
I don't want you to lose, I don't want you to snooze
All of the opportunity you got in front of you
You need to seize it, look in the mirror and truly believe it
What's keeping you from being in front of a sea of fans every weekend
Writing hooks for the weekend, trading verses with kendrick
Selling out a few tours, a half a mil in attendance
Making bangers with 'Ye, Winning grammies like chance
Giving newbies a chance, make the culture advance
He said "I know the plans. Give you hope and a future"
You ain't rooted in scripture, but I hope in the future
Then she'd say she need a sports car cuz she never doubted me
I love you mom I know you proud of me
