[Chorus: Nat Dunn]
I won't be falling for those same mistakes
Always running back more than running another way
To cut the breaks

[Verse 1: Miracle]
I remember as a kid with my nose runny
Girls used to run from me
That was the primary when my pockets had no money
My skin was like chocolate, my hair felt like carpet
Family of four living in a one-room apartment
While they all shopped at Target
Salvation Army, my shopping spree
The only time my family would felt like we won the lottery
My friends committing these felonies, selling drugs, robbery
Living a government property but I was on point like archery
Even though we were stressing, still counted our blessings
Left the life of oppression to a life of depression
I went from detention then to getting arrested
Mother prayed for repent just to learn it from every lesson
Now we on

[Chorus: Nat Dunn]
I won't be falling for those same mistakes
Always running back more than running another way
To cut the breaks
Now my time has come to follow the stars until we shine
Close my eyes and picture the dark you left behind
I'm never looking back, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
I'm never looking back, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
[Verse 2: Allday]
Now pardon me for my bitterness
That part of me I'm not dealing with
Some self esteem I'm not speaking on
Trust me, dog, it's not picturesque
But still I kept the brush in my fingers, dog
Can't crush what I'm dreaming of
At night I would speak to God
Yeah, I know we don't speak a lot
Gimme that chance and I'll say no more
Fuck my palms, man, hit those raw
Walk in the room how heroes walk
Never really was, I tiptoe soft
Man, I had nothing, but nothing was my something
Somewhere inside my heart
I guess I knew this shit was coming
And even those nights when I could not sleep
All the things that they put on me
Shout out to my true old friends
That kid's doing good old things
May the force be with you, tryna do what I did do
Plus the things that I will do
For what you'd die for then let it kill you, dog, ay, ay, ay, ay

[Hook: Nat Dunn]
I won't be falling for those same mistakes
Always running back more than running another way
To cut the breaks
Now my time has come to follow the stars until we shine
Close my eyes and picture the dark you left behind
I'm never looking back
[Verse 3: Miracle]
All my life I've only dreamed about one thing
Man, I know that I could give the world something
Shout out out to EB, shout out to Isaac
And their whole family for always having my back
I was technically homeless, most people don't know this
But they took me in and yo, that kept me so focused
Pushed myself to the limit, put my heart and soul in it
Life could change any minute so I won't stop 'til I'm finished
I just want be the best, all I wanted was respect
My flow knee high, but I'm just getting my feet wet
Dad said, "What are you waiting for? Go and make history
But learn from your mistakes, from failure to victory"
"I promise"
