According to Nigerian blogger, Abbey's Chronicles:
''The lyrics of this song takes us through an emotional tale that revolves around the pain of betrayal, death of a loved one and losing trust in people and friendships. There’s a bit of everything in there that each of us as listeners can relate to, I for one can relate to the feeling he protrayed of being betrayed by someone I once considered as family and I’m still dealing with that hurt.''
''As saddening as most of this song was there was still a display of strength and conviction of better days to come on this track,and that really makes this song even more well rounded to me. ''

AP Venom x Pauletta-2018 | Lyrics
Hook
-You’re covered in scars, you’re
hurting
-But when you burn you learn
-I know one thing for certain
-you’re the definition of a
soldier now, warrior
-I need you to hold it down
-They can hate if they want
- I won’t be phased, I won’t run
-Definition of a soldier now
Verse 1
-I say…
-Sum up 2018 in one word, lessons
-Sum up all your lessons in one
word, blessings
-I found me a home in many
hearts, too many mansions
-I’m not about to call nobody
out, too many mentions
-When the road got rough, I hit
the road and stayed healthy
-Enemies think they’ve got me
figured out, they never met me
-Damn lately, I’ve been going
through a lot of changes
-But I’m only going through them
I promise they won’t change me
-I also made a lot of what we
call friends
-Most of them won’t even text
first
-Well, except for when they need
help
-You see then, when life got ‘em
drowning in the deep end
-The only time they realise
there’s you in this existence, but oh well
-What can I do, I’m only human
-I can only whish them well,
happy new years
-it’s true, yes. This year I’ll
be quick to close curtains

Verse 2
-If there’s one thing I know that
I’m not, selfish
-But people are weird, people are
twisted
-I learned when you have a good
heart, they take advantage
-But it never really gets them
far, check their mileage
-A conversation about somebody’s
life, don’t even start it
-Hit me up with something that
could get us money in our pockets
-Tread carefully, gossip gets you
misinformed
-Wonder why you always see me
with my headphones on
-Last year I had to learn to cut
people off
-Met a nigga in need, treated him
like he’s my brother
-And I did it just to help him,
not for favours
-But the same person had the
nerves to steal from me
-Had me asking myself, like, am I
kind or stupid
-I’m kind of stupid, I guess
-I fed you when no one would, how
could you do me like that
-You don’t get what you give, I
had to learn that fact
-I’m no longer who I was back
then

Verse 3
-Man, I got real messed up second
semester
-In September I lost my Grandpa
-Then in October I lost my
Grandma
-To Grandma the queen who brought
me up
-You said you wouldn’t make it, but
I had my fingers crossed
-But you saw ahead of time, you
were right all along
-You wouldn’t be around by the
time I got this job, I’m really cross
-My goal was to get you
everything you wanted
-I guess fate didn’t allow it
-It brings me so much pain when I
think about it
-That I devised a plan, but it
fell flat
-Time to face facts and really
accept that time will never turn back
-And I can just sit back and
blame it on the setbacks that I’ve had but instead, I’m just sad
-I need a life saver, my heart is
drowning deep in regret
-Didn’t come and see you just as
much as I should have
-it’s too late, I still remember
when
-I told lame jokes and had you
crack up, damn I really miss that
-Though my heart is filled with
should have beens and could have beens
-In my heart you will never die,
may you rest in peace…please
