| I remember shoot outs over necklaces
|
| little debbie breaksfasts
|
| Growing up in the projects, life stinks
|
| drinking fifths of hennessy to forget my misery
|
| Struggling out here in these streets
|
| Barely living in this world
|
| and this world is just so hateful
|
| It’s just so hateful
|
| the kids are so ungrateful
|
| and I’m no longer able to disguise my disgust
|
| And I know they’re saying
|
| we should trust the lord will come and help us and maybe i’m just being selfish but I’ve had enough
|
| But when my song comes on the radio
|
| i forget all my troubles
|
| and for one moment I’m not there at all
|
| No matter where in my life I am that’s my jam
|
| Said when my song comes on the radio
|
| I forget all of my troubles
|
| and for one moment I’m not there
|
| I remember fighting with my babysitter
|
| Life without no father figure
|
| Searching for my daddy’s killer, life stinks
|
| Working jobs that I don’t like
|
| Cussing out God every night
|
| For giving me this awful life
|
| and it dont stop cuz this world
|
| Yo I done been in a lot of street fights
|
| Got a hood stripes but I aint immune to pain
|
| whether you are seventeen, balck, white, gay, straight, or a lesbian
|
| we all go through the same thing on one level or another
|
| you never had a dad, had a part time mother
|
| you had a good girl but you was too gutter
|
| mommie got a man now but you still love her
|
| some things just fall apart like some words break your heart
|
| even if you dont admit it sometimes i the back of your mind
|
| you really want to fall down and cry and never get up but you gotta get up cuz you gotta pay bills even though you feel like a loser
|
| but you aint a loser you God’s child and cant nothing move ya but when my song comes on the radio
|
| i forget all of my troubles
|
| for one moment i’m not there at all
|
| no matter where in my life i am thats my jam, thats my jam
|
| when my song comes on the radio
|
| i forget all of my troubles
|
| and for one moment i’m not there at all
|
| no matter where in my life i am thats my jam |
