Apologies versuri

Apologies lyrics by Kashik

Verse 1
I was only five, tryna make sense of the mess I was in
Neighbors fightin’, sirens singin’, heard it through the wind
Mama told me, „Hold your head up, never let ‘em win”
So I wrote it in a rhyme, now I’m speakin’ through this pen
Cold nights, no lights, just me and a pad
They ain’t see me starvin’, they just thought I always had
Now I’m risin’ from the shadows, I ain’t never lookin’ back
If you knew what I been through, you would never try to brag
I done lost too many folks to things I still don’t understand
So I rhyme for the lost ones, every youngin’ with a plan
I ain’t never had a silver spoon, just a half-broke fan
Told my momma I got dreams, now I’m stickin’ to thе stand
Ain’t no foldin’, I got pressure, but I handle it with gracе
Every verse another piece, every line another place
I was raised around the fire, now I’m marchin’ through the flame
It’s apologies to me for thinkin’ I would never change

Chorus
We had zero, now we climbin’ like we touched a ladder
Stayed down with the crew, now we movin’ faster
They was laughin’ at the kid, now they searchin’ after
Told ‘em all, „I’m just a soldier with a dream and plaster”
We had zero, now we climbin’ like we touched a ladder
Stayed down with the crew, now we movin’ faster
They was laughin’ at the kid, now they searchin’ after
Told ‘em all, „I’m just a soldier with a dream and plaster”

Verse 2
Now I’m walkin’ past them corners they told me to avoid
Used to hear them whispers, now they cheerin’ makin’ noise
Old heads see me now and say, „That kid got poise”
Had to level up early, I ain’t playin’ with no toys
Apologies to them teachers who said I wouldn’t last
Now my words in classrooms, every line in every class
I ain’t perfect, I admit it, but I’m growin’ kinda fast
Tryna turn my pain to power, leave that struggle in the past
Used to hoop on crates, now I shoot on stages
From the park to the booth, I’ve been breakin’ cages
Every scar got a name, every wound got pages
I’m just learnin’ to forgive while I’m chasin’ greatness
This for my people still stuck in the freeze
For every single block boy tryna get some peace
For my lil’ cousin who ain’t make it past three
And for the kid in the mirror who believed in me

Chorus
We had zero, now we climbin’ like we touched a ladder
Stayed down with the crew, now we movin’ faster
They was laughin’ at the kid, now they searchin’ after
Told ‘em all, „I’m just a soldier with a dream and plaster”
We had zero, now we climbin’ like we touched a ladder
Stayed down with the crew, now we movin’ faster
They was laughin’ at the kid, now they searchin’ after
Told ‘em all, „I’m just a soldier with a dream and plaster”
