trials & tribulations - j.r. the golden ticket lyrics

grew up on wildwood drive
where shooting and looting happens on every other side
mother work three jobs to provide for me and my brothers
and the rock of the family my grandfather
faced abandonment i wasn’t strong at heart
blamed myself for years i swear it tore me apart
brother in and out of prison wonder when it all would end
then my nephew was born flipped life around for his kin
let me backtrack i’m the youngest of three
seen them struggle and fail hope it never happens to me
will never forget when my hero was lost in addiction
locked in a room for days in a haze causing affliction
then my grandfather passed since then we’re never the same
addiction got even worse having excruciating pain
decided to write some poetry to vent my frustration
praying we make it through all these trials and tribulations

went to na meetings to show support
but it got worse couldn’t tolerate it no more
see her become a zombie & stranger from who she once was
told her it’s that or me i’m just helping cause of my love
quit cold turkey became herself within months
thought everything was good then arrived to that day and grew numb
lived in a nightmare after seeing you unresponsive
called the medics perform cpr said i know that you got this lord
it was the longest week of my life
how i’m gonna continue going without you by my side
praying down on my knees that you get to have your redemption
god willing you made it through i’m proud to see your progression
the devil disguises himself as an angel in the flesh
you’re stronger than temptation god’s handling all the rest
by the grace of god you survived forgave you for every mistake you made
always here to save you trials and tribulations
true story
i can’t make this sh*t up
but there comes a time in life
you got to figure all your troubles
figure out all your traumas
figure out all your pain
and make a way to strive through that
and thrive through all that pressure
thrive through all that stress
but you got to find it within you first
it’s just my side of the story
i love you mama
