Hook:

Thirteen years old from the streets of Bryn-mar avenue
My childhood had almost went through a funeral,
Because my mamma had left me when I was two
In my neighborhood, I wish, I could, trade my shoes,
Yeah, it's true, I was born from nothing
it's so difficult to wake up to nothing
That's why I hate rising up in the mornin,

 

Chorus:

Life did all the wrongs
Things that don't belong,
Anxious and insecure
Can't look at myself in the mirror,
tempers and regrets
As if my life was just a bet,
sleep problems and depression
What is the life lesson?

 

Verse:

Playing video games - to waste time
Trying to distract the pain - in my life,
Living my life behind - doors and curtains
Since acting out there - keeps hurtin,
Because I was an actor - behind the scenes
Exactly how much - do you know about me,
Nothing because you ain't care about me,

 

Chorus:

Life did all the wrongs
Things that don't belong,
Anxious and insecure
Can't look at myself in the mirror,
tempers and regrets
As if my life was just a bet,
sleep problems and depression
What is the life lesson?

 

Verse 2:

Dad was gone to work
Exactly what do I learn,
That misery is my root and home
A lesson in life in how to be alone,
Toys were my comfort zone at elementary
I just wished I had some justice and equality,
Still speaking in this reverse psychology,

 

Chorus:

Life did all the wrongs
Things that don't belong,
Anxious and insecure
Can't look at myself in the mirror,
tempers and regrets
As if my life was just a bet,
sleep problems and depression
What is the life lesson?

 

End:

To make life corrections.
