[Verse:]
I came from humble beginnings I grew up
Without my daddy I would help myself
I tried hard to just to fit in
Out with a n***a who was stealing sh**
Breaking into houses in the neighborhood
My momma told me boy don't do that
No I ain't listen, cops driving me
Scared as sh**, how'd I get through that
You thinking n***a learn your lesson buddy
You never taught me I was still thuggy
Fifteen n***a started f**
You told me 21 was a dime a dozen
My step-daddy told me I would be
Just like my daddy, that sh** hurt my heart
Ain't where you from, it ‘bout where you going
Ain't what you dealt, it how you play your cards
Start selling d** after high school
Man that sh** led me down the wrong road
Wasn't for Jesus I'd be still trapped
This ain't the Gospel this is the real rap
Took a hiatus from the dope gang
I had to clear my mind, had to clear my mind
My n***as eat me up like boy you really tripping
You really slipping the money out here we need to get it
I'm with the church that tried to claim my soul
I had them pray for me every day
I had a problem that it came up
I backslid up in the gang
Sometimes I wonder if I make them proud
Out there liquor drinking I be smoking loud
I guess [?] are truly blessed
And every day I'm making progress
I put my heart in the rap sh**
If it don't pop I'm gonna be devastated
[?] judging understand folks
I'm on a ride like an escalator
