That Was Me (Explicit) - Russ

Composed by：Russell Vitale

You know that was me stayin' up puttin' work in

Makin' sure my family was good we were hurtin'

Dad lost his job bank tried to take the house

Mom lost her mind I was tryin' to make it out

You know that was me who came through when it mattered

You know that was me turnin' loss into laughter

Divvy up the cash makin' sure we all eat

Bring us all together makin' sure we all speak

Wasn't gettin' sleep I was focused on the prize

Heavy smokin' w**d drinkin' liquor every night

The girl I was in love with wasn't just for me

I tried to show her things she didn't wanna see

My parents were embarrassed hated seein' them like that

They carried me this far it's time I put 'em on my back

My songs are breakin' through my car was breakin' down

Yeah the pressure grew I had to make it now

The awkward conversations and the fights increase

The days were chaotic so the nights were my peace

Locked in like woah-oh-oh

Woah

Woah

You know that was me stayin' up puttin' work in

Makin' sure my family was good we were hurtin'

Dad lost his job bank tried to take the house

Mom lost her mind I was tryin' to make it out

You know that was me who came through when it mattered

You know that was me turnin' loss into laughter

Divvy up the cash makin' sure we all eat

Bring us all together makin' sure we all speak

Tried to keep the peace I was hidin' how I felt

Only twenty-three takin' care of things myself

Payin' all the bills everyone was broke

All the while still tryin' to be the GOAT

I'm lonely all the time but I've always held my tongue

It's been six years since I was a brother or a son

My father lost his voice he knows money speaks

He didn't have a choice had to come to me

The awkward conversations and the fights increase

The days were chaotic so the nights were my peace

Locked in like woah-oh-oh

Woah

Woah

You know that was me stayin' up puttin' work in

Makin' sure my family was good we were hurtin'

Dad lost his job bank tried to take the house

Mom lost her mind I was tryin' to make it out

You know that was me who came through when it mattered

You know that was me turnin' loss into laughter

Divvy up the cash makin' sure we all eat

Bring us all together makin' sure we all speak

Cut off everybody I ain't got no time to party

Tryin' to get these fans and build a mother****in' army

'Cause no one's gon' save us but me so I got us

I said that I would I gotta keep my promise

Yeah

Missed out on a lot yeah my 20s were a blur

My mind was always focused on the future that's for sure

But I sacrificed yet again and again

To make sure my fam doesn't go through that again

For real

Ooh-oh I've been on my own my own

Ooh-oh

Ooh-oh I've been on my own my own

Ooh-oh

You know that was me stayin' up puttin' work in

Makin' sure my family was good we were hurtin'

Dad lost his job bank tried to take the house

Mom lost her mind I was tryin' to make it out

You know that was me who came through when it mattered

You know that was me turnin' loss into laughter

Divvy up the cash makin' sure we all eat

Bring us all together makin' sure we all speak
