That Was Me
You know that was me, stayin' up, puttin' work in
Makin' sure my family was good, we were hurtin'
Dad lost his job, bank tried to take the house
Mom lost her mind, I was tryin' to make it out
You know that was me who came through when it mattered
You know that was me turnin' loss into laughter
Divvy up the cash, makin' sure we all eat
Bring us all together, makin' sure we all speak
Wasn't gettin' sleep, I was focused on the prize
Heavy smokin' weed, drinkin' liquor every night
The girl I was in love with wasn't just for me
I tried to show her things she didn't wanna see
My parents were embarrassed, hated seein' them like that
They carried me this far, it's time I put 'em on my back
My songs are breakin' through, my car was breakin' down
Yeah the pressure grew, I had to make it now
The awkward conversations, and the fights increase
The days were chaotic, so the nights were my peace
Locked in like woah-oh-oh
Woah (woah)
You know that was me, stayin' up, puttin' work in
Makin' sure my family was good, we were hurtin'
Dad lost his job, bank tried to take the house
Mom lost her mind, I was tryin' to make it out
You know that was me who came through when it mattered
You know that was me turnin' loss into laughter
Divvy up the cash, makin' sure we all eat
Bring us all together, makin' sure we all speak
Tried to keep the peace, I was hidin' how I felt
Only twenty-three, takin' care of things myself
Payin' all the bills, everyone was broke
All the while still, tryin' to be the GOAT
I'm lonely all the time, but I've always held my tongue
It's been six years since I was a brother or a son
My father lost his voice, he knows money speaks
He didn't have a choice, had to come to me
The awkward conversations, and the fights increase
The days were chaotic, so the nights were my peace
Locked in like woah-oh-oh
Woah (woah)
You know that was me, stayin' up, puttin' work in
Makin' sure my family was good, we were hurtin'
Dad lost his job, bank tried to take the house
Mom lost her mind, I was tryin' to make it out
You know that was me who came through when it mattered
You know that was me turnin' loss into laughter
Divvy up the cash, makin' sure we all eat
Bring us all together, makin' sure we all speak
Cut off everybody, I ain't got no time to party
Tryin' to get these fans and build a motherfuckin' army
'Cause no one's gon' save us, but me, so I got us
I said that I would, I gotta keep my promise (yeah)
Missed out on a lot, yeah my 20s were a blur
My mind was always focused on the future, that's for sure
But I sacrificed, yet again and again
To make sure my fam doesn't go through that again (for real)
Ooh-oh, I've been on my own, my own (ooh-oh)
Ooh-oh, I've been on my own, my own (ooh-oh)
You know that was me, stayin' up, puttin' work in
Makin' sure my family was good, we were hurtin'
Dad lost his job, bank tried to take the house
Mom lost her mind, I was tryin' to make it out
You know that was me who came through when it mattered
You know that was me turnin' loss into laughter
Divvy up the cash, makin' sure we all eat
Bring us all together, makin' sure we all speak
Era Eu
Você sabe que era eu, acordado, trabalhando duro
Cuidando pra minha família ficar bem, a gente tava sofrendo
Papai perdeu o emprego, o banco tentou tomar a casa
Mamãe perdeu a cabeça, eu tentava sair dessa
Você sabe que era eu que aparecia quando importava
Você sabe que era eu transformando perda em risada
Dividindo a grana, garantindo que todos comessem
Juntando todo mundo, fazendo a gente se entender
Não tava dormindo, focado na vitória
Fumando maconha, bebendo toda noite, essa era a história
A garota que eu amava não era só pra mim
Tentei mostrar a ela coisas que ela não queria ver
Meus pais estavam envergonhados, odiavam me ver assim
Eles me trouxeram até aqui, agora é hora de eu carregar eles pra mim
Minhas músicas estão estourando, meu carro quebrando
É, a pressão aumentou, eu tinha que fazer agora
As conversas estranhas, e as brigas só aumentam
Os dias eram caóticos, então as noites eram minha paz
Trancado como woah-oh-oh
Woah (woah)
Você sabe que era eu, acordado, trabalhando duro
Cuidando pra minha família ficar bem, a gente tava sofrendo
Papai perdeu o emprego, o banco tentou tomar a casa
Mamãe perdeu a cabeça, eu tentava sair dessa
Você sabe que era eu que aparecia quando importava
Você sabe que era eu transformando perda em risada
Dividindo a grana, garantindo que todos comessem
Juntando todo mundo, fazendo a gente se entender
Tentei manter a paz, escondendo como me sentia
Só tinha vinte e três, cuidando das coisas sozinho
Pagando todas as contas, todo mundo quebrado
Enquanto isso, tentando ser o melhor de todos
Me sinto sozinho o tempo todo, mas sempre segurei a língua
Faz seis anos que não sou irmão ou filho
Meu pai perdeu a voz, ele sabe que dinheiro fala
Ele não teve escolha, teve que vir até mim
As conversas estranhas, e as brigas só aumentam
Os dias eram caóticos, então as noites eram minha paz
Trancado como woah-oh-oh
Woah (woah)
Você sabe que era eu, acordado, trabalhando duro
Cuidando pra minha família ficar bem, a gente tava sofrendo
Papai perdeu o emprego, o banco tentou tomar a casa
Mamãe perdeu a cabeça, eu tentava sair dessa
Você sabe que era eu que aparecia quando importava
Você sabe que era eu transformando perda em risada
Dividindo a grana, garantindo que todos comessem
Juntando todo mundo, fazendo a gente se entender
Cortei todo mundo, não tenho tempo pra festa
Tentando conquistar esses fãs e construir um exército do caralho
Porque ninguém vai nos salvar, a não ser eu, então eu cuido
Eu disse que faria, tenho que cumprir minha promessa (é)
Perdi muita coisa, sim, meus 20 foram um borrão
Minha mente sempre focada no futuro, isso é certo
Mas eu sacrifiquei, mais uma vez e de novo
Pra garantir que minha família não passe por isso de novo (de verdade)
Ooh-oh, eu estive por conta própria, por conta própria (ooh-oh)
Ooh-oh, eu estive por conta própria, por conta própria (ooh-oh)
Você sabe que era eu, acordado, trabalhando duro
Cuidando pra minha família ficar bem, a gente tava sofrendo
Papai perdeu o emprego, o banco tentou tomar a casa
Mamãe perdeu a cabeça, eu tentava sair dessa
Você sabe que era eu que aparecia quando importava
Você sabe que era eu transformando perda em risada
Dividindo a grana, garantindo que todos comessem
