Intro:
It’s funny to go on and look back now
And think about these burdens that
I kept track how do I carry so many
Transgressions, I swear it’s gonna
Be about confessions Right now
Right now

Chorus:
On my way, on my way, on my way down
On my way, on my way, on my way down
You're the one that was tryna keep me way down
But like the sun, know you know I found my way back 'round

Verse 1:
Shooting for the stars
Aiming high, made some of my
Standards low, I learned
How to work
I took a different path
That wasn’t expected, nine
Months at home, shows
You how to grow, and make
You feel handsome or
your hands full, take you
Through reality on exhaust
Can’t press pause not enough
Time is left to record the truth
You have faced as a man
It has to make you wonder
Where you stand, If this is proof
Of the life I have lived, then let me
Be the one to go ahead and say
It’s OK to turn around and
Change our past ways because we’re
Better off living on the way down

Chorus:
On my way, on my way, on my way down
On my way, on my way, on my way down
You're the one that was tryna keep me way down
But like the sun, know you know I found my way back 'round

Verse 2:
I lost it for a minute then I came back again
I reminisce, reminisce of a time, of an insane
Young man, a childhood that wasn’t easy but sure as hell wasn’t rough
Got to tell you my story
Target for attention, I was singing and dancing
When I was young to prove my worth to the kids
Knew this tension inside, I wished I wasn’t alive
Had tantrums almost every day in the Turtle Room
I even pissed on the beanie bag, I was mad I didn’t
Have a childhood, It was a curse I couldn’t accept myself
For some time, I can’t lie about how I used to hate being different
My flaws were almost based in ignorance
But this adult life might have been
A blessing, testing my strength
Misunderstood outcast stands the
Length of time, no longer in a safe
Way, it’s my way or the highway

(Chorus)

Chorus 2:
Dif'frent strokes, we could ride on em (back 'round)
Every folk gotta ride for em
(You're the one that was tryna keep me way down)
(But like the sun, I know you know I found my way back round...)

[Chorus 2]

[Outro: Choir]
Ohhhhhhhhhhohoh [4x]
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la [4x]
I'm on my way, on my way, on my way down
I'm on my way, on my way, on my way down
You're the one that was tryna keep me way down
But like the sun, all you know I found my way back 'round, baby, back 'round...
You are the one that was tryna keep me way down
But like the sun, i know you I found my way back 'round, back 'round...
You are the one that was tryna keep me way down
But like the sun, i know you I found my way back 'round
