| Yo, this for all my people stuck, who ain’t gotta choice, I ain’t forgot
|
| About yall, I’m comin' back for yall uhn huh, never let 'em tell you
|
| What you can &can't do, look I know they tried to tell me
|
| Growin' up I never really had much
|
| An if I had it was bad, if I ever had luck
|
| An searchin' tryna come up, tryna get a fast buck
|
| Had so many doors I could of ran into but I past up
|
| In tha middle of tha ghetto not knowin' it’s bad
|
| He was gone most of tha time, never really knowin' my dad
|
| Seen death at a young age, learned to expect that
|
| Tell me I was never gonna be nothin', I learn to accept that
|
| I only knew life, never knew death til' my grandmother left here
|
| It was confusion not to see her, just see pictures on tha dresser
|
| All I knew was smiles, I never knew what cryin' was
|
| I only knew tha truth, I never knew what lyin' was
|
| I only knew livin', I never knew what dyin' was
|
| I never knew what a funeral &why everybody was cryin' &hugs
|
| Standin' on tha block all night just tryin' to define love
|
| Growin' up in a place where it really wasn’t designed for us
|
| I could of been born son of a queen
|
| Instead I was born son of a maid, forced to leave sons kids wit fiends
|
| Never could undestand why they done these things
|
| Why everybody smile when she there, left they become so mean
|
| Until I gre up &realized there was nobody else
|
| You need help you gotta do it yoself (that's real)

|
| I seen tha reflection thru tha mirror wipin' tears from her eyes

|
| But I figured they can’t stop what’s meant to be
|
| An if it’s real then we’ll make it look eventually
