CHORUS
My momma said a man's not supposed to cry
But she don't know the pain I hide
I pray to God like every night
But no he don't reply
My father said he's proud 'cus I'm doing well
But all this money just don't help
It's only me, myself, and I
And the devil that's inside
VERSE ONE
I walk around this surface
Broken looking for purpose
How am I worth more than a million
And still feel so worthless
They watch my life, observe it
Think that it's picture perfect
But they don't know the fucking struggles that I had to work with
Grew up in a broken home
My mattress always on the floor
Eating ramen every night
Evictions always on the door
My momma told me pack my bags
I'm sorry son, we gotta go
Just because you plant the seed
It doesn't mean that it will grow
So please don't ever think my life was better than yours
I hate when people say I don't what it's like to be poor
'Cus yeah I made a lot of money but I still need more
'Cus I can tell that happiness is something I can’t afford
And that is life
My momma said a man's not supposed to cry
But she don't know the pain I hide
I pray to God like every night
But no he don't reply
My father said he's proud 'cus I'm doing well
But all this money just don't help
It's only me, myself, and I
And the devil that's inside
VERSE ONE
I walk around this surface
Broken looking for purpose
How am I worth more than a million
And still feel so worthless
They watch my life, observe it
Think that it's picture perfect
But they don't know the fucking struggles that I had to work with
Grew up in a broken home
My mattress always on the floor
Eating ramen every night
Evictions always on the door
My momma told me pack my bags
I'm sorry son, we gotta go
Just because you plant the seed
It doesn't mean that it will grow
So please don't ever think my life was better than yours
I hate when people say I don't what it's like to be poor
'Cus yeah I made a lot of money but I still need more
'Cus I can tell that happiness is something I can’t afford
And that is life
