about

Lobé gives his audience a backstage pass, allowing them to take a look behind the curtain and get a small peak into some of the things he has been going through behind the scenes

lyrics

For years i couldn't get any peace
Get any sleep
Tryna block with the stress with the weed
Had to kill my ego, it was a second degree
I always felt this life was something I would I never complete
That was
Until I met my nephew and niece
Me and my brother are maturing and we're settling beef
And something that my mother thought she would never see
I hugged my nephew and my niece and felt the pressure release

There's nothing more important than the fam
Probably the only people who could tell you who I am
And I don't visit as much as I know I need to
But do this for them and I hope that they understand
I been so focused on building this life for you
I be forgetting that I should be building a life with you
In other words I should be there more
Making memories, with the people I care for
Like
My mother had an accident and lost her vision
She smiling but I can tell that somethings different
I be scared for her
I'm tryna balance being there for her
While tryna remember I'm also on a mission
Let me get give you all backstage stage pass
The show that I call "my life", ain't ever been facade
Hospital visits, and visiting graveyards
So Late nights call be giving me faint heart
Cah we lost one, then another one
Last year, we had a funeral like every other month
Couple mothers want their son back
Like the summers gone.
The pains gonna always come
You can run you wanna run
But it never leaves
When the Family tree lose a leaf
Better grieve
My uncle died, now carry his energy huh
When the buried him it felt like they just buried me
And Now it's me that if struggles to rest in peace
Lemme give you all a backstage pass
Monetising my trauma
Profiting off the past
I know the pain well
A lot of it's in my heart
Long sleeves tee
Covering up my scars
Let me get give you all backstage stage pass
The show that I call "my life", ain't ever been facade
Hospital visits, and visiting graveyards
So Late nights call be giving me faint heart
Cah we lost one, then another one
Last year, we had a funeral like every other month
couple mothers want their son back
Like the summers gone.
The pains gonna always come
You can run you wanna run
But it never leaves
When the Family tree lose a leaf
Better grieve
My uncle died, now carry his energy huh
When the buried him it felt like they just buried me
And Now it's me that if struggles to rest in peace
