August is young but feels like he's an old soul. His songs are deep, it's like he's "lived through several lifetimes" idk... Brings tears to my eyes. I love this.
You need to read his lyrics. He realizes it's not about fame or being recognized. That's where most of your haters are....and it ain't worth having the world's fame

I don’t like the fact that August is getting more attention from interviews or anything involves jada that ok but I can tell he put a lot of time into this album and I love it.his new song entanglement got more views than his album in the first hours.

I hope you keep putting music out August. Your true supporters really need it.💜
Happy with the return of August Alsina, without a doubt this new melodic project with great songs will be one of the best of this 2020. if we can enjoy true music
Anyone know any other r n b singers that have similar lyrical content like august? This man is one of the only modern r n b singers that I've found that sings about real issues, not just love songs. Big fan of dude.
I love this song so much. I'm learning to "fill up my pitcher before i can pour from it"--by giving myself the same grace and compassion I've freely extended to others. And it feels good AF. Self-care ❤
He speaking real talk. I’m so proud of August he’s come along way and has been through so many different hurt obstacles. But he has sustained from it. Good job August on your new project. Will support this sweet baby hands down. Same age as my baby.
I love August as an artist he is just so dope. I haven’t really cared for an artist this much other than 2pac. He has such versatility as far as subject matter of his songs. And they are relatable
Some of us would never know what to do if we dealt with the past August came from....Thank God he made it through and blessing us with his passion in his music ❤️
This entire album is fire🔥💥☄️☄️☄️ I purchased last night Played it in the car and the bass is thumps Definite riding music 🚗 Perfect for summer 💃🏽 Even this summer 😏

That what life is about lessons. learn from them and try not to make those same mistakes . don't trust everyone your first mine is the the right mine. every time you second guess yourself it''s probably not best.
I really felt this song! I wish everyone the best in life. We can be and do whatever we put out mind too. Take care of you and yours and be wary of the people only looking out for themselves! ❤️
This beloveded brother is in tune to shape the industry, just specifically this SONG, he's telling us the people portion how he had it good and things went Sideways on his deal please my brother keep this specifically attitude, highly changed because REALITY FOLLOWED HIM DURING HIS COME UP I CANT WAIT TO DO A DUET WITH THE BRO KEEP THAT GREATEST PINAL GLAND AWAKE AND OPEN STAY IN GREAT SPIRITS PEACE, EMERYUN
I don't trust my own ppl let alone some acquaintance. God is using August to help a 🌎 understand that you don't have to be the person ppl set you up to be.
You know he likes his self and thats cool there's not very many people that like themselves, that Exsperance them selves and build whoe they are , i like him and you can't discredit on Cement.
August is young but feels like he's an old soul. His songs are deep, it's like he's "lived through several lifetimes" idk...
Brings tears to my eyes. I love this.
💯💯💯💯💯
Very possible!
Love his music
I'm crying right his music is moving me he has alot of wisdom.
He is too matured for his age
This song speaks to my heart. It's so difficult to trust people nowadays.
💯
I feel you
💯
Right and I don't trust nobody at all !!
Yes it is
August needs more attention as an artist.
You need to read his lyrics. He realizes it's not about fame or being recognized. That's where most of your haters are....and it ain't worth having the world's fame
Lyrics:
Had to learn a little bit, grow a little bit
Realize on the way up
That I was taught so many lessons
Yeah, yeah, I learned so many lessons, yes
I'm living proof that if you don't go through shit
When you come up fast
Everything that you work for won't seem to last
Man, I learned too many lessons
Yeah, I learned too many lessons, yes
Learned so many lessons
Every day that you wake up (Wake up)
Make sure you pray before startin' your day 'cause (Day)
Tomorrow ain't promised (No)
Today is a gift, so don't waste it away
Call and tell someone you love 'em
Show somebody that you been thinkin' of 'em
It ain't about romance, it could really be your last chance
Turn off your cellphone (Oh, oh)
Give yourself sometime to think and be alone
How can you be about your business
Followin' niggas with no business
So many people in show business got nothin' to show for (No, no)
Write out your dreams and just go for it (Go for it)
Fill up your pitcher before you can pull from it
Always listen to your first mind
Never tell no one, it's your time
As the spectators watchin' you grind
Really hopin' that you don't get more shine than 'em
Those kinds of friends are really your enemies
All of these little philosophies
Took a minute to get into me, and that's 'cause
Had to learn a little bit, grow a little bit
Realize on the way up
That I was taught so many lessons
Yeah, yeah, I learned so many lessons, yes
I'm living proof that if you don't go through shit
When you come up fast
Everything that you work for won't seem to last
Man, I learned too many lessons
Yeah, I learned too many lessons, yes
Learned so many lessons
You know the ones who really down for you
Are the ones who feel you when you down
Look out for them niggas who playin' on ya
Loyalty ain't nowhere to be found
Fuck with no one who's afraid of
Callin' you out on your bullshit
That's the ones who showin' real love
That's the niggas you can build with
Always keep your word (Oh, oh)
Only thing you really got it on this Earth
Don't let no one treat you less than what you're worth
Being selfish ain't the same as puttin' you first
That's the first law of nature (Oh)
Survival of the fittest (Oh)
Know that your haters love to hate you
Really no matter what it is
Always listen to your first mind
Never tell no one, it's your time
As the spectators watchin' you grind (You grind)
Really hopin' that you don't get more shine than 'em (Them)
Those kinds of friends (Friends) are really your enemies (Enemies)
All of these little philosophies (Yeah)
Took a minute to get into me, and that's 'cause
Had to learn a little bit, grow a little bit
Realize on the way up
That I was taught so many lessons
Yeah, yeah, I learned so many lessons, yes
I'm living proof that if you don't go through shit
When you come up fast
Everything that you work for won't seem to last
Man, I learned too many lessons
Yeah, I learned too many lessons, yes
Learned so many lessons
Darian Garcia ❤️
