LYRICS:

When I look back on my life…


Am I gonna die before the birds on the page fly?

Before I get to tell my kids “This why you should aim high…”

Before I metamorphosize, who wants to die the same guy

Or person that swears up and down one day will change lives?

Gotta show my mom the other side, by my brothers’ side

How we take rain and make waves out of water that’s a puddle size

Dig deep then look up, almost forgot the tunnel size 

Needed for the one’s I’ma pave a way for

The bigger the blessing the longer that you gotta wait for

Get “Kev In A Door, No?!” what else my name for?

If not building with my bare hands what I came for

16 years of 16’s, what!? still I ain’t sore boy!


When I look back on my life…
The hourglass waits for no man or woman
When I look back on my life…
Are you sure?
For sure


Sometimes I wonder what I’m missing, am I smart enough?

One thing I’ll never ask is, if I hit it hard enough

No sex for three months, huh, that was hard enough

Success over sex, I made both heads smarten up

When I first got to LA, by now I’ve hardened up

I’m blunt now, burn’em with the truth, I’m always sparking up 

I can’t look back at my life and say “yooo…”

“How the fuck did I not go for gold?!”


When I look back on my life…
When I look back on my life…
That hourglass waits for no man or woman
When I look back on my life…
Are you sure you still want more?
For sure


Or am I gonna live long enough to feel regret 

Like “How I ain’t put my foot on they fucking necks?!”

“How I ignore my chest for some fucking checks?!”

“How I ain’t go all in on my fucking bets!?”

“How I focus on Credit Karma not karmic debts?!”

“How I choose a job over music to fucking flex!?”

“How I ain’t turn a girl who ain’t believe into a ex?!”

“How I turn a mission with a message to a fucking mess?!”

Uh, When I look back on my life…

None of these things, were ever worth the price 

Yeah, that’s why I rather roll the dice….

And if I don’t hit, having tried will suffice.

Uh, I can’t take no advice 

From somebody who’s a nobody in the book I’m writing

Don’t know what it is, the safe road to me never looked exciting 

When I look back, shit…I better look excited.


When I look back on my life…
When I look back on my life…
That hourglass waits for no man or woman
When I look back on my life…
Are you sure you still want more?
Nigha for sure.


You get one muthafucking life bro - sis…
What you gon’ worry about what THE FUCK everybody else thinks?
When they ain’t even gonna remember you…
We all fucking die, who gives a fuck?
Go after your shit man.

Thank you.

LYRICS:

Every petal on the flower is unique, yeah

So apologize for what, for being me? no

An outsider? No, I’m outside of that, yeah

I’m a loosie in a world that’s full of packs, yeah


Alone, alone
Alone, fuck it I’m a lone wolf
Alone, alone
Alone, fuck it I’m a lone wolf

I really tried to be friendly
But that ain’t work out
Back to moving how I know

Alone, alone
Alone, fuck it I’m a lone wolf
Alone, alone
Alone, fuck it I’m a lone wolf

Adversity is my university, yeah
Swear I’m gonna find what works for me


What’s my favorite color? Clear

As I’m peering through my peers, ain’t too many that sincere

What yo’ feelings made of rubber? Yeah

So much makeup on yo’ life just be careful you don’t smear

Cuz a little truth can rub ya wrong

See we almost got along but it always turn you off

When I don’t tell you what you wanna hear

Cuz I got my own ideas and they tickling your fears

But who’s laughing harder me or you

I see in you the type of bliss that only ignorance can bring about

I wonder if I’m better off just being you, or being who

The rest of the world is pushing me to be but I’ve had visions and I’ve 

Always said I’d see’em through, between me and you

Life hasn’t gone the way that I thought it would 

Oh oh oh, you’ll probly find my tracks in the woods


Alone, alone
Alone, fuck it I’m a lone wolf
Alone, alone
Alone, fuck it I’m a lone wolf

I really tried to be friendly
But that ain’t work out
Back to moving how I know

Alone, alone
Fuck it I’m a lone wolf
Alone, alone
Fuck it I’m a lone wolf

THATZ PART OF LIFE

[Intro]

(whisper…)
They only climb…
when you hold the ladder up…
(cloud drift…)
But Jesus held me…
when nobody showed up…
(hmmm…)

⸻

[Verse 1]

I was stuck in the glow of a pill,
heart numb, vision still,
devils in my bloodstream just tryna get a meal.
People said brother but they used me for the climb,
had their foot on my shoulders while they smiled in my eyes.

Told me it was Jesus but they lied with they chest,
it was all self-praise, they just hid it in a vest.
Took my pain, used my story like a key to they fame,
but when I fell off, they were first to say my name.

Rumors like weed smoke when the wind hit quick,
mocked me in private, made jokes real slick.
Said I was the one broken… but look at ’em now —
they need someone beneath just to feel that crown.

⸻

[Pre-Chorus]

I was holdin’ up ladders for people who never cared,
while my soul was collapsing, they just stood there and stared.
But the One who redeemed me never lifted a blade —
He lifted me, even when I couldn’t lift my own name.
(hush…)

⸻

[Chorus]

Läddërs…
Everybody climbin’ when they see your back strong…
Läddërs…
They don’t want to grow — they just want you to hold on.
Läddërs…
They talk about love, but the actions all wrong…
Läddërs…
But Jesus never switched, He been solid all along.

(cloud drift…)
I ain’t fallin’, I ain’t foldin’, I ain’t breakin’ no more…
Läddërs…
God carried me higher when they pushed me to the floor.

⸻

[Verse 2]

They kicked me out the cult, called it “saving my soul,”
but it really was fear — they’d lose control.
Took my pain to the pulpit, preached it like a joke,
while inside they were rotting from the lies they spoke.

I was drowning, but Jesus never let me sink,
washed my eyes with the truth I was scared to think.
Now my faith real strong, heart clean like dawn,
I’m closer to the Lord than I’ve ever been on.

People like them never rise on their own,
they stand on your spine just to sit on a throne.
But I crawled from the rubble, wiped the dust off my sleeve,
now it’s Holy Ghost breath every time that I breathe.

⸻

[Bridge]

(soft echo…)
They said I’d never change… (never…)
They said I’d never heal… (never…)
But I’m living proof of the grace that’s real…
And the ones that mocked
can’t touch what He sealed.
(still…)

⸻

[Chorus]

Läddërs…
Everybody climbin’ when they see your back strong…
Läddërs…
They don’t want to grow — they just want you to hold on.
Läddërs…
They talk about love, but the actions all wrong…
Läddërs…
But Jesus never switched, He been solid all along.

I ain’t fallin’, I ain’t foldin’, I ain’t breakin’ no more…
Läddërs…
God carried me higher when they pushed me to the floor.

⸻

[Outro]

So let ’em climb somewhere else…
I’m not your platform, I’m His vessel.
No more ladders on my back…
just the wings He gave me.
(quiet…)
Läddërs fade…
but Jesus stays.
