Self Made
Resilience Unveiled: Navigating Life's Storms Through Lyrics
Lyrics
But when she look into my eyes there's a feeling I get
Emotional impact when the speaker's eyes meet someone's gaze.
I choke up it takes me back I wasn't hardly ten
Overwhelmed with emotions, reminiscent of a difficult childhood experience at around age ten.
Was just a kid in my room with pint up aggression
As a child, dealing with repressed anger in his room.
Had nowhere to take it out so started reliving the mistakes that my mother made
Expressing frustration by reliving the mistakes of his mother.
Shit she was still young too
Reflection on his mother's young age during the mentioned mistakes.
Can I really blame you with the shit that you been through
Questioning if blame can be placed on his mother considering her difficult experiences.
My father caught up in the system and was doing time
His father being incarcerated, entangled in the legal system.
My single mother struggling and was working nine to nine
Describing the challenges faced by his single mother working long hours.
So let me take you to a time I didn't know myself
Reflecting on a time when he didn't know himself well.
I never thought I would be sharing this with all of you
Opening up about personal struggles from growing up in a broken home.
But when you from a broken home and that shit surrounds you maybe you'd see the Situation I was going through
Sharing the difficult situation shaped by a broken family.
The only thing I know for sure is I'm not looking back
Determined not to dwell on the past, focusing on the present and future.
Never forgotten where I'm from but it's just not that
Acknowledging roots but emphasizing the need to move forward.
I'm obligated as a father now to run shit
Feeling a responsibility as a father to take charge of his life.
I know I made some mistakes but shit who hasn't
Admitting mistakes made but highlighting commonality in human experience.
You can't break me down
Asserting resilience against attempts to break him down.
But when she look into my eyes there's a feeling I get
Repeating the impact of a gaze, suggesting a strong emotional connection.
I choke up it takes me back I was in Arlington
A specific memory in Arlington triggering emotional responses.
Was just a kid in my room with pint up aggression
Recalling a childhood moment of anger in his room.
Had nowhere to take it out so I just kept writing
Using writing as an outlet for pent-up emotions.
Never intended on the situation that you're in
Unexpectedly finding himself in a situation he hadn't planned.
But I promise you will never live the way I did
Promising a better life for someone, contrasting with his past.
I won't accept the answers I felt like I'd never get
Refusing unsatisfactory answers and vowing to provide everything possible.
I'll give you everything in life I can possibly give
Commitment to offering the best in life to someone important.
So many years passed by since I left home flat broke
Reflecting on years since leaving home with financial struggles.
I didn't have a pot to piss in and I lost all hope
Describing a period of extreme hardship and loss of hope.
The only thing I know for sure is I'm not looking back
Reiterating the determination not to look back at the past.
Never forgotten where I'm from but it's just not that
Acknowledging roots while emphasizing the need to move forward.
The only thing I know for sure is I'm not looking back
Reaffirming the decision not to dwell on the past.
Never forgotten where I'm from but it's just not that
Repeating the sentiment of not forgetting roots but focusing on the present and future.
I hope this will make you understand
Expressing a hope that the listener will understand the struggles conveyed.
But when she look into my eyes there's a feeling I get
Repeating the impact of a gaze, emphasizing its significance.
I choke up it takes me back I was in Arlington
Revisiting a specific emotional moment in Arlington.
Was just a kid in my room with pint up aggression
Recalling a childhood moment of anger and expressing it through writing.
Had nowhere to take it out so I just kept writing
Continuing to use writing as a coping mechanism for unresolved emotions.
I choke up it takes me back
Reiterating the emotional impact causing a choked-up feeling.
So I just kept writing
Emphasizing the persistent use of writing as an emotional outlet.
I had nowhere to take it out so I just kept writing
Continuing to write as a way to deal with emotional struggles.
I hope this will make you understand
Expressing a hope that the listener gains understanding through the shared experiences.
