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' weed 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
