[Verse 1]
Yo f** Rapping & Bragging
About The Way You Ballin'
Spray Cans In My Backpack
And I Was Starvin'
In Middle School
With A Trey Five-Seven Revolver
My Family Said I Wouldn't Make It
Now I'm Grindin' Hard
I Dedicated This To The Kids
Growin' Up With No Father
Believe Me I Know What You Goin' Through
I Almost Lost It
Ever Seen A Teenage Boy
Whose Feelin' Like Robbin'?
That Was Me At 14
I Was Driving Through Compton
On My Way To Inglewood
I Was Thinkin' Of Nonsense
Somebody Tagging On The Wall
So I Had To Go Cross It
Muthaf**a I Had Guns
In My Mother's Closet
The Day She Caught Me
Tear Drops Started Falling
Then She Slapped Me In The Face
Looking Brokenhearted
How The f** Do I Explain
That My Hood Is Stronger
Enemies Is Lookin' For Me
2 In The Morning
Its About The 2 Weeks
And She Still Ignores Me
I'm f**ing Up So Much
As Hate
That Is Building Towards Me
She's On The Phone With My Fam
Saying I'm Disappointing
Saying I'm Disappointing
Oh Man, I'm A Disappointment
[Hook: David Ortiz & King Lil G]
As I Sit All Alone With Pain
I Wonder
Will I Ever See My Mother Smile?
I Wonder
Will I Ever See My Mother Smile?
Am I Ever Gonna See That Day
We Stop Strugglin'
Will I Ever See My Mother Smile?
Strugglin', Yea..
[Verse 2]
Yo, Would You Like To Know
Why I Was So Troublesome?
That Eviction Notice On My Door
Made Me Hustle Drugs
I Seen My Mother Crying
1999
My Father Left Us Behind
My Feelings Empty Inside
I Try To Not Miss 'Em
Me & My Older Sister
Carina Please Tell 'Em
Bout That f**ed Up Christmas
I Had To Go To School
Lying To My Friends
Pretending I Was Happy
Bout Some sh** I Didn't Get
Fake Smiles
Through The Whole Winter
I Was Cold Wearing Old Clothes
And Socks With Holes In 'Em
Gang Members I Was Close With 'Em
I Was Just A Kid
They Was Asking Me
To Do Some Coke With 'Em
I Was Broke
Man I Rather Sell Some Dope With 'Em
Road Trips To The Border To Go Get 'Em
Young & Hopeless
Trying To Get In To Show Biz
Hoping They Would Give Me A Chance
Nobody Noticed
[Hook: David Ortiz & King Lil G]
[King Lil G]
Oh Man, You Know What Really Trips Me Out IS That Uh..
People Really Think I Owe Them Somethin'
See I Hear People Talkin' All The Time
But Its Like They Don't Know The Struggle
And The sh** We Gotta Go Through
To Get To Where We Are Right Now
(But I Don't Owe Them A Damn Thing)
I Had To Sacrifice So Much Time, You Know
Had To Put My Family Trough So Much Pain
Its Like Everything That I Got Right Now, I Owe It To The Family
Finally My Mother Can Smile Now
Oh Yeah
