Cam Meekins – Wasn't For You lyrics

[Intro]

[Verse 1: Cam Meekins]
Yeah, uhh
Page one, lost in the mix
Waking up early, she raise five kids
Can't find direction, struggling to work
But she keeps it all bottled up, gotta stay alert
Cause one kid's got school
And the other's got a playdate
Damn sure she make 'em stand up straight
Don't let 'em see what's going on behind the scenes
Two divorces and an unpaid mortgage
And where they grew up, she would hide it
She felt so bad, I see it in her eyes but
It's alright now gotta keep it pushing
Dreams of traveling she just couldn't do it
The damn kid keeps fucking up in school
The teachers kicked him out
He was acting like a fool
But she believed in him
Got him piano lessons
She didn't care about the grades
Made him independent
He didn't thank her one time
Throughout all that
But unconditional love
That's what you call that
And one day everything will be alright
Cause your son will be a star
And you'll all shine bright

[Chorus: Geoffro Cause]
I've been rising to the top
And I've been making these moves
But I couldn't do that shit
If it wasn't for you
And now I'm out there getting higher
You know I gotta do what I do
Yeah I couldn't do that shit
If it wasn't for you

[Verse 2: Cam Meekins]
Ayo, and if I could
I would do it all different
The growing up, yelling at you in the kitchen
Thinking I was right about everything
And wishing I could leave and never come back
Anyway, I packed my bags and walked out
Seventeen tryna see what it's about
The big city, all of the lights on
You used to yell at me for
Leaving all the lights on
And then I thought at eighteen
I had it figured out
Neglecting you had thirty years on me
No doubt
Advice was some shit I didn't wanna take
I had to do it all myself
And make my mistakes
You understood that, gave me my space
I found music, you said "Great"
It could have been anything
You'd still be proud
Talking about me to your friends
Intentionally loud
I never thanked you one time
Throughout all that
But unconditional love
That's what you call that
And one day everything will be alright
Cause your son will be a star
And you'll all shine bright

[Chorus: Geoffro Cause]

[Outro 4x: Cam Meekins]
A lot of times I lie in my music
Stretch things out to
Make more of a movement
But this right here is the truth
I wouldn't be anything
If it weren't for you

[Chorus: Geoffro Cause]
