    @you_can_call_me_daddy9923 4 роки тому +13

    From what I hear this what happened. When she was 16 her family drifted apart and her, her mom, and her brother didn't live together. Her mom ended up moving in with her new boyfriend, her brother lived with his girlfriend and baby. Before she left to live with her brother, she was living with her grandmother. Then a year later her mom's relationship ended and she also went and lived with her son (Layton's brother) till he lost his job and they all got kicked out. Then they lived in a motel for a year until Layton moved out to live with her boyfriend when she was 18. Since ya'll seem confused.

Anyways I'm about to graduate in August so anyone struggling just know , the world is yours if you get an education. It may be hard but trust me it'll be worth it in 4 years your whole life can change. From poor to rich with the comfort in knowing your kids will never go hungry

    You can tell she wasn’t telling the truth and that’s ok no one needed to know what she didn’t want them too ... and as far as music is concerned she could of just been writing the song to pour her heart out what if she wasn’t doing it for us maybe she was doing to heal her inner child .... I tell people all the time there’s pain behind these stories that shit is therapy to them but beauty to us ... we probably wasn’t even bout to get that song song.....

    she recently did an interview w Ebro in October . this interview is OLD! She doesn’t feel comfortable talking about her current situations while going through them. SHES OVER HER PAST NOW which is why she felt comfortable to make a song, talking about her past. Her mom currently lives w her in Atlanta now, doing fine. And let’s be honest, this interviewer is very aggy. You can tell she was uncomfortable and not ready to fully open up about her situation w her mom. She was trying to be respectful and not bash her mom, you can tell she’s not that type of person!
