When i was 10 i was considered a grown man/
controlling so much heat i think i maintained my own tan/
my moms told me stay in the school/
so i listened, but my grades wasn't hitting i was playing it cool/
my pops was an alcoholic/
and my brother was drop out, excon, or whatever you call it/
i had to stay away from the crack and the drugs/
never trusted anybody, i was absent of love/
didn't run wit a crew i would stay to my self/
and i felt like something was wrong wit praying for help/
couldn't leave the damn the house without a box cutter/
its not just me nigga my whole block gutter/
you know how it feels to never hear the words "love you"/
and dream every night,"you'll never make it out the struggle/
or have you ever felt a lack of joy and pride/
ya confidence died, sometimes you just sat up and cried/
man i know how it feels cause i been there before/
anger, hatred, and so much more/
had the same Timb boots on my feet for 2 years/
now im stuck on this earth like "What am i to do here"/
got in to a couple fights i got stabbed and jumped/
the low cash in my dip is what they had for lunch/
i used to say i would never miss back in the day/
but i just wanna know, Why it had happen this way?/
