Make It Without You

Verse 1
I try to walk takin' footsteps / what's the cost of this life, yo we look stressed / always see the bad, never recognize the goodness / never satisfied wit what we got, think what we could get / we wanna have a good time with the time that we got / sometimes we get off on a ride and think why did we stop / if we kept goin' maybe we could rise to the top / maybe we could make it in the eyes of our god / maybe we could make it to a cryin' little child / 'cause his daddy and his mama ain't tryin' to let him down / they tryin' to figure out a way tomake it work for him / it's strange he's only 3 but he's still very observant / the parents of a person givin' birth in the first place was crazy / they never expected to have a little baby / and they got to take care of him, can barely take care of themselves / the Love has died, now their life is a livin' hell /

chorus
And I don't know how to say this / but the break got my heart breakin' / and I don't know how I'll make it without you / and I know I just lost my dream / I can't even fall asleep without you, without you /

verse 2
now they gotta learn to move on, daddy got a new job / also got a new home now he got two homes / grand dad just passed put his hand on his tombstone / sometimes he feelin' too alone / grew up fast, a badass always doin' wrong / hat backwards spittin' gum that he chewin' on / headphones on listenin' to a song / the only way to feel calm in the middle of a storm / his head's heavy but he better be ready to take on the world whenever the time calls for it / he's high on his high horse, five course meals beefin' up makin' sure he eats enough, never let his mind fall short of / his full potential / however don't let fear get ya, peer pressure can be so influential / I'm no Nostradamus but I can predict his future / I'm not the one who saw it happen I'm the one who went through it

Verse 3
Time passed my badass got locked up / for sellin' weed & sellin' coke then the cell was shut / it's a story I don't tell enough / learn from my mistakes, the words that I say, about the first time that I fell in love / I thought that I had the woman of my dreams / and in 6 months she was remembered as nothin' but a fling / I don't know if love is what it seems / feels good when you have it, sad, when you don't know what it means / most relationships are over in a week / with a high, goodbye and a nice to meet you / hard to find what in life completes you / lookin' back on what my mom and dad been through / I understand how findin' a wife ain't so simple / tell me how do I begin to jump into somethin' new here / last girlfriend that I had only lasted 2 years / but who cares, I didn't write this for you to feel sorry for me / just a small part of the life story of Robbie G /
