Airs with the tick got me roaming Heirs gone stick, we ain't liking the lonesome

The artist is reflecting on his childhood and how he became resilient due to the challenges he faced.

My brothers born and it's a blessing, mum changed her partners And we gained some stressing I replay the carnage, It's a torture session That has fucked my head, so don't you talk on lessons
The singer acknowledges the birth of his brother and how it brought joy to their family despite the stress they were going through. However, he is still haunted by the past and would rather not have anyone lecture him on how to deal with his thoughts.

Wish it changed but aggression stepped in, lives got threatened And my mum got burnt and my brother Got a cheffing, at least he stepped in Word to my brethren, I swear to the old gods, brother didn't question I swear he a soldier, didn't stutter when he pressed him I swear, for the whole squad He holds our protection, It's time she left him, yeah
The artist describes the violence that occurred in his household and how his brother stood up for the family during the tough times.

Just thoughts in my head but forced me some anger It's more in December, we fall for a member I'm calling it cancer, used to pray to the lord for an answer It turned our days all dark like a panther
The singer's thoughts have led to him becoming angrier, and he reflects on the impact that his family's problems had on him during the holiday season.

I had to leave this home, I can't stand it Standing alone like the boys going Phantom, I'm leaving a home for a dead man
The singer has reached a breaking point and has to leave his childhood home to escape his thoughts and the memories associated with it.

Home is where the heart is, I'm a daddy so I never wanna start shit Baby mama, never seen you as a target And I'm sorry that I never tried my hardest It's family first but my fans want an artist I'll die for my chases and carters I'll live for my babies 'cause I am your father I'll always catch you, sons, 'cause dad is your harness

The artist reflects on how the actions of adults impacted him and his siblings as children. He feels lost and empty as a result of the trauma he has experienced but acknowledges that he is not a lost cause.

Thoughts in my head but the thoughts I won't Part with, I left home and it gave me a pardon Seen cheap change and felt like a bargain I took leaps, now I'm moving the margins
The artist acknowledges that he may never be able to completely rid himself of his thoughts. However, leaving his childhood home has allowed him some relief. He is making progress in his life and pushing beyond the boundaries he once had.

Yeah, remember the change up, 'bout time lil Menace got his face up Get staunch lil Menace, get your weight up You can do it don't you smile for no fake cunt See, what goes around will always come Around, see I'm done with frowns, I can not pass 'em down They say my seed is bound, I will not taint the ground They just thoughts but it seems they are making sound

But I guess this is life, I suppose (But I guess this is life, I suppose)

All dry, nothing ripe, nothing rose (All dry, nothing ripe, nothing rose)

I'll soon take flight when I'm grown (I'll soon take flight when I'm grown) From the fear and the dark in my home
