Cleaning Out My Closet (Clean) - Jon Connor

I know this sh*t don't work out for everybody but

I ain't everybody

I'm me

You ever wanted something

So bad you'd do anything for it

Feel it in your soul

And people telling you to ignore it

Like you could go to sleep

Wake up and it be gone

In the morning

Your parents saying it's a phase

Act like the sh*t ain't important

People see your passion

Intentionally try to kill it

They mad at they self for you

Chasing your dream and they didn't

Cause the thought of

You winnin' only makin' 'em bitter

They think they hate you but

They hate they self for being a quitter

As time goes on they block

It out and they try not to remember

Can't escape it gotta face

It when they look in the mirror

They was you at one point

And they still tryin' to forget it

But fear beat 'em in the end

And they don't wanna admit

How could they guide you

Or ever give you advice

When half the time they complainin'

Bitchin' 'bout what's wrong with they life

About all the sh*t they wish

They could change

If they could do it twice

Just get it right the first

Time instead of rolling the dice

They tellin' you the chance of makin'

It is one in a million they lyin'

It's workin' you're the

Only one that was willin'

They try to discourage you cause

They know for them now it's too late

Misery love company and

They want you as a roommate

Now your skin gettin'

Thicker hard to control your emotions

When the lack of support

Comes from the one who's the closest

When your mother and your father

Is what's throwin' your focus

Y'all can argue all you want

But this how you close it

I'm sorry momma

I never meant to hurt you

I never meant to make you cry;

But tonight

I'm cleanin' out my closet

I said I'm sorry momma

I never meant to hurt you

I never meant to make you cry;

But tonight

I'm cleanin' out my closet

I think about all the friends

Had that abandoned they hopes

Living with regrets cause

They tried to live up to they folks

Or a destructive relationship

That drove 'em off of they path

They other half drainin'

Them of every dream that they had

I seen women wit

A vision let a ni**a distract 'em

Have a plan she get a man

And she she start hustlin' backwards

So preoccupied with him

And drama with other b**ches

She be down and can't get up

To get on top of her business

I seen dudes that want the pat

On the back from they chick

Hell'll freeze over two times over

He ain't gettin that sh*t

Because of this

His ambition is driven away

Look in you for inspiration

Even if you gotta say I'm

I'm sorry momma

I never meant to hurt you

I never meant to make you cry; but tonight

I'm cleanin' out my closet

I said I'm sorry momma

I never meant to hurt you

I never meant to make you cry; but tonight

I'm cleanin' out my closet
