still modest - cam carter lyrics

[verse 1:]
i had it all lost it
kicked into the darkness
had every opportunity but missed every target
fell into a struggle mixed with liquor and a conscience
that yelled at me everytime i ran out of options
lost trouble guided by a broken dream of imposters
guardians watching but been blinded by my bosses
trapped in a circle of the snakes
when i be sharkin’
when all the world’s a stage
i was afraid of being honest
(which somehow made me)

[chorus:]
modest, humble, ambitious
cautious, patient
but really too much precious time is wasted
gracious just enough to keep my head
out of the bas-m-nt
to face the facts of life
i never thought then i would say this…
still modest…
i been so close that i can taste it
so much adversity it’s like a ton of bricks
hit the pavement
evasive yet persuasive
i had to be brave (audacious)
to overcome the obstacles and take it

[verse 2:]
i had it all for real
my family used to be proud
too focused on the slums instead of do right
i lashed out
and sold drugs to friends
that ended up snitchin’ to they parents
then they parents hit me up
and all it made was extra errands
i wasn’t trying to be cool
really i was doing too much trustin’
and my love for other people
turned to every type of f-cking
when i could have been a husband
but i read the wrong books
hooked on phonics
i promise this isn’t what it looks

[verse 3:]
when all p-ssion, hatred and delusions die
with racist
and planes crash to sacrifice
the time that would replace this
but when time equals money
and all that money (all) was wasted
and that final stroke of courage
grabs the mic and says “let’s face it”
cuz i been stressed out
but haven’t met a tear lately
i guess this medication
makes me rather have a baby
adn even maybe we can bounce back
and focus on the daily
and overcome all misfortunes
and focus on a plan b (or c…or d…)
