| From the walls of juvenile hall to Hawthorn elementary
|
| Thoughts of my past are like photographic memories
|
| Rocking talent shows, busting flows at assemblies
|
| And now that I’m grown you can still feel the energy
|
| Ah!
|
| It’s been a long time coming
|
| Steady chasing mines, I spent a long time running
|
| These fake rap niggas spend a long time fronting
|
| But their girl’s on my dick, she spend a long time sucking
|
| But uh, sometimes we jumped niggas, sometimes we got jumped
|
| Sometimes we punked niggas, sometimes we got punked
|
| I was with Tory when a nigga hit his first blunt
|
| In 8th grade when a nigga had his first fuck
|
| Ah!
|
| Kicked out of class just from speaking out
|
| But they ain’t know that my grandmom was drinking now
|
| And they ain’t know that my uncle Charles was tweaking now
|
| Or how my real pops used to put the beatings out
|
| I wonder if he thought it was effective
|
| At 4 years old, the first time I was molested
|
| 13 years old, the first time I was arrested
|
| Just tried to see the world from my dad sad perspective
|
| And I ain’t tryna make you feel no pity
|
| Loved worldwide but hated on in my city
|
| And you ain’t gotta like me but I guarantee you’ll feel me
|
| Still begging for the Lord to forgive me
|
| This ain’t no g-game, this is my life, life
|
| Injured, but off of pain no worries, no strife, strife
|
| Just look at my brain (For old times sake)
|
| Look at my pain (For old times sake)
|
| This ain’t no g-game, this is my life, life
|
| Cruise in the left lane, switch to the right, right
|
| Just look at my brain
|
| (Like a scar real deep, it takes time to heal
|
| My life flash like big bills cash)
|
| Yeah, now walk into my world as I spit it
|
| Close your eyes and imagine all the verses that’s vivid
|
| Feel the pain in my heart, that’s the merge of my spirit
|
| Born black on this earth but you curse on the envy you see
|
| We all want a piece of that luxury
|
| Cause 40 and mule ain’t gonna make us live comfortably
|
| Still having nightmares of my aunt’s friend touching me
|
| That’s I probably be cold to every woman that’s loving me
|
| I still did things the G way
|
| Imagine being the only negro nino out in TJ
|
| 9 years old, fighting niggas that was quince
|
| Crazy in the head nigga, I don’t give a pinche
|
| Now that Exile is my DJ, a lot of expectations
|
| A lot of naysayers, man, a lot of niggas hating
|
| A lot of rap cats running up for confrontations
|
| Dropped a couple vinyls, now the whole world’s waiting
|
| Just tryna keep my baby moms cool
|
| I pay child support but shit, you need a job, too
|
| And I ain’t got no time to sit around and argue
|
| Keep your faith in me, I’ll show you how the god do
|
| And I ain’t tryna make you feel no pity
|
| Loved worldwide but hated on in my city
|
| And you ain’t gotta like me but I guarantee you’ll feel me
|
| Still begging for the Lord to forgive me
|
| This ain’t no g-game, this is my life, life
|
| Ain’t tripping off of pain no worries, no strife, strife
|
| Just look in my brain (For old times sake)
|
| Look at my pain (For old times sake)
|
| This ain’t no g-game, this is my life, life
|
| Cruise in the left lane, switch to the right, right
|
| Just look at my brain
|
| (Like a scar real deep, it takes time to heal
|
| My life flash like big bills of cash) |
