So Many Nights Lyrics - E-town Concrete

So many nights I prayed that this would just stop 

Awoke out of my sleep by a sound of a popped lock 

My heart would drop to the ground, maybe the fact 

My pops wasn't around forced you to found these guys that would 

Just knocked you down or beat you around I don't know 

My innocence was lost back then not to be found 

And in a sense it's like this world was just weighing me down 

Leaning its weight hard on my shoulders 

Making my heart less warm and much more colder 

Chip off my tooth and a chip on my shoulders 

I told y'all that I don't play I seen drama every goddamn day 

So go ahead, yip yab away, 'cause now you got a lot to say 

Cast your judgments, cast all your stones 

Holding my hands, holding on to everything I have 

Because it's slipping away so fast and it's all I have 

I was like 6 then, we had no pot to piss in 

While most kids lives consists of shine and glisten 

Mine was lined with mischief, a boy flipping 

Devoid of times you find joy to reminisce in 

It's like time was missing, years were passing 

I was inside while kids were outside laughing 

No time for games, their fake toy planes were crashing 

While me my life was crashing 

At night fist fight left my mom's face smashed in 

Her man's blasted, he threw her down a flight of stairs 

Alone and scared I stared in eyes of men who didn't care 

My father was never there. now I am prepared for this 

Lifetime that is unfair, in life I fight from the bottom to the top 

In this life I had to fight for all that I got 

It hurts but I still won't stop, 'til my casket drops 

Cast your judgments, cast all your stones 

Holding my hands, holding on to everything I have 

Because it's slipping away so fast and it's all I have 

Cast your judgments, cast all your stones 

Holding my hands, holding on to everything I have 

Because it's slipping away so fast and it's all I have 

Cast your judgments, cast all your stones 

Holding my hands, holding on to everything I have 

Because it's slipping away so fast and it's all I have
