Been walking on a tightrope, juggling high hopes and reality
Just trying not to mess up, tryna keep my head up, fighting gravity
I can’t outrun growing up, I still feel like a kid
Quick to judge the ones we love
Sometimes I forget
It’s your first time on Earth too
And I hope that you know that I don’t blame you
It’s just pain that you were passing down
I’m older, and I see it now
It’s your first time on Earth too
Back then, I didn’t get that you gave me the best that you knew how to do
You were far from done growing up when you had a kid
Quick to judge the ones we love
Sometimes I forget
It’s your first time on Earth too
And I hope that you know that I don’t blame you
It’s just pain that you were passing down
I’m older, and I see it now
It’s your first time on Earth too
