[00:09.99]
[00:13.75]You're too young to look that tired
[00:15.67]Too sweet to be that sad
[00:17.66]Any moment it all could end
[00:18.75]So please treat the day like your last chance

[00:22.25]I know you're feeling so obligated
[00:23.93]I ain't saying don't help at home
[00:25.70]But your sister's son
[00:26.59]You ain't gotta raise him
[00:27.51]You sacrificed your life
[00:28.33]When she wouldn't even sacrifice her night
[00:30.78]You babysitted playing with him
[00:32.82]When she wasn't acting right
[00:33.81]Don't you got your own dreams own goals
[00:35.88]It ain't right that you gotta put them on hold
[00:37.87]You went to school but now you don't go
[00:39.50]Because you're scared she's gonna leave him home alone
[00:41.49]
[00:42.34]You walking in the crib and she passed out again
[00:44.77]
[00:45.41]Your nephew crying on the floor his a** is out again
[00:47.96]
[00:48.76]Because she done smoked up all the diaper money
[00:50.69]
[00:51.21]And so you laugh to keep from crying trying act
[00:54.27]As life is f**king funny
[00:55.81]And I know when you showing them love
[00:57.25]That you're just trying to help
[00:58.47]
[00:59.22]But your life will be passing you by
[01:00.56]If you don't get it done for yourself
[01:02.65]And the way that you're doing it now I'm afraid
[01:04.49]That it's affecting your health
[01:06.01]Because you're living for somebody else

[01:23.13]They don't want you to leave
[01:24.98]They want you to stay
[01:25.94]
[01:26.68]But you should be pulling away
[01:28.07]If nobody is pulling they're weight
[01:29.41]
[01:29.93]And it's okay you wanna live a little in your own way
[01:32.85]Maybe you would get your bills payed
[01:34.24]If you didn't have to pay for her mistakes
[01:36.71]Yeah and you you worry about them you're terrified
[01:39.00]And you're scared to move like you're paralyzed
[01:41.14]And the guilt will eat you like a parasite
[01:43.34]She living all reckless
[01:44.31]Going on benders acting offensive right
[01:46.80]And you've given up friendships
[01:47.88]Given up men you've given up every night
[01:50.24]And you've given up paychecks
[01:51.42]And you pay the rent just save them
[01:53.02]She complicating your life
[01:53.73]
