Kids Are Growing Up (Part 2) lyrics

[Interlude: Sloane Howard]
Hey kiddo, been tryin' to call
It's mom
Just wanted to check up and say I miss you
Call me back when you get a chance
Love you

[Verse]
We been to Hell and back together, you're my closest friend (Uh)
sh*t, you probably know me better than
I know myself and you're the reason why I never rest
I walk into the crib, high as hell, head full of stress
I love you even though sometimes I forget to text
I'd give everything even if it means I have nothing left
And even at your worst, for us, you tried your best
And all this sh*t that we went through together, I just won't forget
You check me when I spend lots of money that I make
You tell me you won't ever let me make the same mistakes
You makin' sure we had it good and then we lost it all
A year later, hidin' narcotics in the wall
Of the apartment we was livin' in in Kings Cross
Always thought my uncle was a boss
But now he up with God, I thought he was invincible
Ninth grade, turned around and said f*ck my principle and dropped out
And this was at the time that we ain't have a house
And me and you was sleepin' on the separate ends of Louie's couch
I would go to JD's to make music, end up passing out and wake up with my back sore
Callin' tryna figure out just where you at, sh*t made me mad
Seein' you in the back of the ambulance to the hospital
I thought you weren't comin' back
Next mornin', walked in just like nothing happened
You'd never admit the problems that you had
And tell me that I'm bein' crazy if I ever asked
But now I got my own problems and I understand
'Cause I try to protect you from anything bad (I understand)
[Chorus]
Ooh, I don't know why I can't believe it (Oh, yeah)
Oh, nothin' ever as it seems at all (Ooh)
I thought my nightmares were my dreams (Ooh, I don't believe)
This ain't what it seems now, no
