123 Main Street
Navigating Life's Turbulent Journey
Lyrics
Sit alone in this room, never thought I’d end up here
Sitting alone in a room, reflecting on an unexpected situation.
Had to make this move, I was somewhere else last year
Made a decision to change locations from where he was last year.
All the parties caught up to me and I started feeling so numb
Feeling the effects of partying, experiencing emotional numbness.
Damn I just turned 26 and I still ain’t got my life going
At 26, feeling a lack of direction and accomplishment in life.
I reached out to my grandparents and I asked if I could move in
Asked grandparents to move in after a breakdown with friends.
Night before I had a break down, I couldn’t live with those friends
Prioritized mental health over living with problematic friends.
The mushrooms had me seeing straight
Had a psychedelic experience, but reality confronted him.
Thought I’d trip and have a night escape
Expected an escape but faced the truth about his situation.
But reality was right in my face, saying get the fuck out and walk away
Reality urged him to leave and move on.
So I did, time to start new again
Embraced change, starting a new chapter in life.
Went from being round tons of people to alone and lost in my head
Transitioned from a social life to solitude, feeling lost.
Yo I left my life at a studio, where the fuck am I gon record?
Left a studio, facing challenges in finding a recording space.
Me and management buttin heads, I don’t want this shit anymore
Conflict with management, expressing dissatisfaction with his career.
I unpacked and I took a breathe
Unpacked, taking a moment to breathe after a turbulent period.
I don’t have much money left
Financially strained with limited options.
I don’t have no fuckin job, some people aint meant to work at desks
Jobless, questioning his suitability for conventional work.
Met a girl on instagram, she took my mind off everything
Found distraction and comfort in a girl from Instagram.
None of this apart of my plan but I’ll figure life out eventually
Life not going as planned, but optimistic about figuring it out.
Spending more time with my fam, they been happy I sobered up
Spending more time with family after overcoming substance abuse.
Walking into my parents house and I felt like I aint been here in months
Returning home and feeling distant from parents.
Lookin into my mommas eyes, feelin like I been a shitty son
Regretting past actions, acknowledging shortcomings with parents.
All the drugs had me hypnotized and the reality start to eat me up
Reflecting on the impact of drugs and the harsh reality setting in.
“I’m sorry Momma” I cried out, She just happy her sons back
Apologizing to his mother, relieved that she's happy he's back.
She just happy I’m still alive cuz she saw me walking that wrong path
Mother grateful for his survival after a troubled path.
Heard about this rap contest, there was prize money and some tour dates
Learning about a rap contest, sees it as an opportunity.
I aint have another option left, I knew I had a few moves to make
Feeling limited options, sees the contest as a crucial move.
Reached out to my manager, I apologized for my actions
Apologizing to his manager, opening the possibility to record in Manhattan.
He told me come through the studio, we’ll record the track in Manhattan
Reconciliation with the manager, planning to record a track.
We talked a bit and we patched it up
Resolving issues with the manager and moving forward.
Hit my boy about a video
Planning a music video with a friend.
Had a feeling we’d win forreal and we did boy, that shit was dope
Anticipating victory in the rap contest, which indeed happens.
The tour thing brought me back hope, back to ballin wit a few stacks
Gaining hope and financial stability from the tour.
Got this inspiration now but how the fuck am I gon make new tracks?
Finding inspiration but uncertain about creating new tracks.
Took a trip out to California, met a girl I met online
Travelling to California, finding a meaningful connection.
Hit it off, man it felt so real and i think I just had to clear my mind
Realizing the need to clear his mind, returning home.
Headed back to my crib now, I don’t know where I’m gon record
Uncertain about where to record after returning home.
Last time I went to New York I had a break down, I couldn’t take no more
Past breakdown in New York, reluctant to face similar challenges.
All this travel so tiring, feel like life has just beat me down
Feeling worn out by frequent travel, overwhelmed by life.
My grandparents saw me too stressed and they said "Chris we gon figure it out"
Grandparents noticing stress, offering support to figure things out.
They invest in a recording set up, that was more than I could ask for
Grandparents investing in a recording setup, a generous gesture.
Feeling like I had a second chance and I told em I would make it worth it all
Feeling a second chance, promising to make it worthwhile.
Thought I had it all planned out, I ended up with this outcome
Original plans failed, facing unexpected outcomes.
I’ll tell my story, Good bad and ugly as I put my heart into this album, Yeah
Expressing the intent to share his life story through an album.
123 Main, where it all happened
Referring to 123 Main Street as the place where significant events occurred.
