All I set out to do was get some food

And some rent money too

To tell the truth the vocal booth was my sanctuary

I spent endless hours in there I was so contrary

Damn I tell my boy nick to stop

Man that wasnt it so lets take it from the top

But bein in here beats runnin from the cops

And swallowin rocks so I don't get caught

Knocked and then locked cuffed and then booked

In the meantime court cases got me shook

What they gonna do whats gonna be the outcome

In the meantime I'mma cut another album

How come poor people never get acquitted

The motherf**kers say you did it then you did it

Next thing you know your being sentenced

Snooty a*s is like pshh good riddance

B***hes you don't know how my life is

You ain't never had to live like this

Made fun of my off brand no name hi tops

My people couldn't afford nike's and reebok's

But you ain't bout to pick on me man

My family doin the best we can to get by

I never hustle to get high I hustle to survive this is my life

The road I came down was a bumpy one through the middle of no where

Old country one

Restin my feet was so comfortin' I knew my work was not for nuthin then

They said id never live to be grown

Before I turned 18 id probably be gone

Instead I'm in the cemetery talking to a stone feelin so all alone

Want some purple kush want some northern lights

But my grandmama say that there's more to life

Than good times

I sit down to write a good rhyme

And roll a joint that's every bit of a good dime

So stressed I try to ease my mind

Mama say baby that's the way that its gonna be sometimes

Sometimes I be so sick of trying

Most men woulda just coward out and just started crying

My faith in god's so strong

He won't leave me alone

Gave me a mind to think with

And two feet to stand on

One hand to write with two hands to fight with

Wrote a song bout my life it goes like this

Gunshots rang through the streets of my small town

Seemed like slo mo when that lil girl fell down

Sad thing is it wasnt even a stray

They just aimed at that baby then blew her away

Said it was some sort of gang initiation

They were trying to display loyalty and dedication

Why yal didn't shoot at demo me red or jazz

Cause you motherf**kers knew we woulda killed yo a*s

I was that kid that went to school cuz lunch was free

And all they ever did for me was taught me to read

How to write add subtract

How many grams are in a ounce of crack

How many ounces in a pound how many ounces in a kilogram

So what if I fail don't nobody give a damn

Feel so solo came in the world dolo and that's the way I'm gonna go
