| The world ain’t no different now
|
| The world ain’t no different now
|
| Never had a dime, my life a crime
|
| Had to be when I was nine, Moms drunk off wine
|
| Running with all kinds her mind stayed in the stupor
|
| 'til the point she paid no mind to the super
|
| Stay mad but stay fronting with smiles
|
| Stayed on the growl and eating once and a while
|
| First day of school never had nothing too style
|
| Mister Colondre stressing, I ain’t coming in a while
|
| It was a bummer, rocking the shit I rocked all summer
|
| On the first day, I was feeling some kind of way
|
| And she wasn’t trying to do nothing, you would think
|
| For the sake of the kids, she’d enroll in school or something
|
| Now I know then was even harder
|
| 'specially for a single mother raising me with no father
|
| Shit living up in this tenement, eating stale Entenmann’s
|
| Talking wild shit to Spanish immigrants
|
| I speak in codes, man tú sabe
|
| Always! |
| Cállate! |
| Bendición to my madre
|
| Even though she never did nothing for me
|
| Acknowledge me as I run down my life story
|
| You don’t know, how crazy it is outside
|
| I’ve died inside so many times
|
| Oh, I’ve cried, oh, I’ve cried
|
| Check the skit, nobody never gave me shit
|
| If anything a nigga framed me and made me get
|
| 3 to 6 my first bid, no doubt up in Spofford
|
| Had to be 12 son, trying to make a profit
|
| Remembering robbed my Moms with no guilt
|
| Eating pork and beans, old corn flakes with no milk
|
| Bitter, in school I smacked cats in a hurry
|
| Moms ain’t care she busy getting drunk with Mrs. Berry
|
| On the first floor, I used to thirst for greenery
|
| Picking pockets with Seth and Jay from 106th Street
|
| Yo, fuck home, I’m tired of getting punched in my dome
|
| Tired of hearing this faggot-ass nigga moan, I started roaming
|
| My hustle game is deep, cats ya heard
|
| From San Fran back to Manhattan to Newburg
|
| Notorious tell your friends to spread the word
|
| Glorious, my life story is absurd
|
| You don’t know, how crazy it is outside
|
| I’ve died inside so many times
|
| Oh, I’ve cried, oh, I’ve cried
|
| I know I haven’t been the best
|
| I’ve shown you things you shouldn’t have seen
|
| Can you forgive me? |
| Can you forgive me? |
| Oh, my baby
|
| Home from Elmira, got a little brighter
|
| I’mma keep it real still a schemer and conniver
|
| Recognize the struggle, living like a thug do
|
| Hatred in my heart but inside I love you
|
| See no matter what I will extend my arms to hug you
|
| Knowing that I’m just like you, I am like the double
|
| All I wanna know is how you pound me down
|
| Yo, this shit is real and you really jerked me around
|
| But any way I am getting paid with Puff now
|
| 'Bout to cop you a house I can send you some stuff now
|
| So many levels jail take you
|
| I appreciate jail 'cause it made me appreciate you
|
| I’ve been through fire and brimstone
|
| Used to be diplomas in jail, now I cop the gem stone
|
| I remembered when you rushed me
|
| The time you said you should of flushed me, I forgive you ma trust me
|
| You don’t know, how crazy it is outside
|
| I’ve died inside so many times
|
| Oh, I’ve cried, oh, I’ve cried
|
| I know I haven’t been the best
|
| I’ve shown you things you shouldn’t have seen
|
| Can you forgive me? |
| Can you forgive me? |
| Oh, my baby |
