Lyrics for Tremendous Damage

Sometimes I wonder how I get over The weight of everything is tearing up my soul but Shit is heavy like the world on my shoulders People telling me be strong like a soldier But I suffered tremendous damage Just make it fade away Just let it fade away Just make it fade away I suffered tremendous damage So many things that I didn't know But still I've seen my dreams come true And now the little kids are watching my videos And telling me: I wanna be you See, I'm just a man so I ain't scared of all that No matter whatever I go through I told the man in the mirror: keep pushin on But I can't say the same about you Now now now, I done made it this far It ain't a way I'm gonna turn back I started out with no car And graduated to a Cadillac But all that money don't mean a goddamn thing to me Cause we don't worship dads But like the Wright Brothers we gotta crash and burn Before you take flight I know you're hurt bad Sometimes I wonder how I get over The weight of everything is tearing up my soul but Shit is heavy like the world on my shoulders People telling me be strong like a soldier But I suffered tremendous damage Just make it fade away Just let it fade away Just make it fade away I suffered tremendous damage February 28th the day my daddy died Boy not really, his energy passed to the other side And ever since that day I seen him fade away With my own eyes, I never doubted God The marine corps, they say semper fi My daddy fought in Vietnam, This is a fun fact from the blunt line of Antoine Andre, just like that song say I suffered tremendous damage, got me tougher than a motherfucker And since the days I play his ball Ya'll thought it was a run off, these broads will slam the Cadillac doors now The American Idol's just a fraud You kiss a man, you still gon be a frog Ribbit, a bitter old negro, not at all See, I look 26 and still hit your broad Still pitch a ball Hike, pass, shoot, kick it all Practice makes perfect but first it was bamboo and now it's cross (I hit the jackpot!) Sometimes I wonder how I get over The weight of everything is tearing up my soul but Shit is heavy like the world on my shoulders People telling me be strong like a soldier But I suffered tremendous damage Just make it fade away Just let it fade away Just make it fade away I suffered tremendous damage Sometimes I wonder how I get over The weight of everything is tearing up my soul but Shit is heavy like the world on my shoulders People telling me be strong like a soldier But I suffered tremendous damage Just make it fade away Just let it fade away Just make it fade away I suffered tremendous damage Ride through the city, whip with this now go blast Blastin the system as the wheels spin slow Ride through the city, whip with this now go blast Blastin the system as the wheels spin slow Ride through the city, whip with this now go blast Blastin the system as the wheels spin slow Ride through the city, whip with this now go blast Blastin the system as the wheels spin slow
