How did I get this far
Looking back at all of my scars
Now I just wanna play my part
So I can put some points on the board

I'm a runner up
Runner up runner up runner up runner up runner up runner up

Let me, let me, let me, take you there
I aint never really had much but I had just enough
12 years old now I'm trying to boss up
Father figure gone why'd they put him in the cuffs
I don't understand why I can't go far
Couldn't do much cuz I had to be tough
Little brother watching that's enough
The pressure got me feeling like I'm always wrong
Had to bottle my emotions now I'm writing songs
Way to close to everything had moved on
Never could release my realist now I'm dropping bombs
Let me, let me, let me, take you there
I had way to much going on
Sex on sex on sex on my mind
Lost my faith now I can't define
Who I am what's my cause
But my job won't allow me to fall
So I had to brush it off

How did I get this far
Looking back at all of my scars
Now I just wanna play my part
So I can put some points on the board

I'm a runner up

Let me, let me, let me, take you there
Man I've had some dark days, darker nights
Felt alone when everybody's home
I'd take a drive to clear my mind
Id steer blind lose track of time
I'm losing faith man
I'm impatient
Losing everything going vacant
Feeling like everybody hates me
I'm a bad christian cuz I never listen
I took a break to find my placement
Moved up north now I'm in the basement
Can't afford to live on my own
Still calling mom so I'd get a loan
Found piece in my heart of stone
When I realized how much I'd grown
Let me, let me, let me, take you there
I had way to much going on
Been down here for way to long
Now it's time to write my wrongs
So I can sing a new song
Put to bed this nuisance
Get back to being an influence
Oh my God how

How did I get this far
Looking back at all of my scars
Now I just wanna play my part
So I can put some points on the board

I'm a runner up
