[Verse 1: A-Reece]
Now what you know about, having your mommy and daddy sleeping on separate beds
And have it going for like 3 or 4 years
They ain't talking to one another not even a stare
I had to look at my lil brother go through with it in tears
Now picture
A father is dedicated to sit in that lazy in the living room eating and sleeping all day crazy
No job, no shame, more pride, this motherfucker couldn't even go outside
Instead he told more lies
Look you dead in the eyes and tell you son just appreciate that am still alive
Never brought you no clothes don't even know your shoe size
If this music thing works I hope you show me some thousands
Picture, a mother that is dedicated to working double shifts
Who does any and every thing for her three kids
Broke every three weeks before the month ends
Making ends meet either way over some cheap shit
I was just a young child and I was supposed to pick a side
I talked to God and wait on him for a reply now
If that is how a family is supposed to be then I guess the one I have is good for me

[Chorus: Amanda Black]
The life don't change
I'm not the same no
Never gonna worry no more
No more, no more, no more
Been through pain
And other things that
I can't sing on this song
Ndiyabulela und'gcine kwabalana
Und'gcine kwabala
Ndiyabulela und'gcine kwabalana
Und'gcine kwabalaaa
[Post-Chorus: P-Jay Lepara]
I hope you know I know you ain't perfect
You know I wear my heart on the surface
Through your fuck ups I finally found my purpose
And now my pops now I know I done earned it

[Verse 2: P-Jay Lepara]
I grew up, then I got clued up I understand
You screwed up, then moved up wasn't part of the plan
You was barely a man, wasn't ready for fam
Man, sweaty hands grippin the sonagram
And how low so you could have been just a photograph
Nightmares and no dreams to wake up to
Ey what happened pops I heard the streets loves you?
Little Bros and me, so who do I look up to?
N***a, yeah, I let bygones be
'Cause what I wish for you is just twice on me
'Cause any day life could roll the dice on me
But I'm tired to seeing the fams teary eyes on me, n***a
Ey, mama I'm sorry he wasn't right for you
I bet he tried it was just not the life for you
Ey, Little K I promise we gon' make it right for you
I pray me and Reece make it PARADISE for you

[Chorus: Amanda Black]
The life don't change
I'm not the same no
Never gonna worry no more
No more, no more, no more
Been through pain
And other things that
I can't sing on this song
Ndiyabulela und'gcine kwabalana
Und'gcine kwabala
Ndiyabulela und'gcine kwabalana
Und'gcine kwabalaaa
[Verse 3: A-Reece]
It made me wonder if this is how God wants it to be
Is there a lesson behind it?
Is this how we gon' teach?
What's the reason I feel like I didn't need this but I did
'Cause, know exactly how to not raise my kids
Now I know exactly how to treat a wife
Let alone a woman who can make a sacrifice
And make your life a PARADISE
Heaven heights
Beacuse of you I started hating life
I hated how you thought you're always right
Growing up I realized that I've became more of a man than you
Did what I had to do for the family became responsible when I was only 16
Carried the world on my shoulders the only way to make dough was through world of 16's
But now it's 2016 and life is better
I moved on I was told anger don't change the weather
I forgave you with my heart I'm at peace
You finally got a job pops you working that's key
I heard you play your part now that's what she told me
I'm guessing God answered all the prayers that's deep
Yeah, and that is how a family is posed to be now it feels like a family to keep

[Chorus: Amanda Black]
The life don't change
I'm not the same no
Never gonna worry no more
No more, no more, no more
Been through pain
And other things that
I can't sing on this song
Ndiyabulela und'gcine kwabalana
Und'gcine kwabala
Ndiyabulela und'gcine kwabalana
Und'gcine kwabalaaa
