Day I was Born
Verse 1:
Just when I think I survived, still overdosed on what the streets supplied
And I ain't talkin bout d** and 9's Im talking trying to find jobs getting 9 to 5's
Lifes a blender, All I do is grind pray to God like im def got me looking for the signs
Perhaps one can be an answer, when they start having garage sales at the Hamptons
Money came slow but im racking up the o-o's till my money coming out the closet like a h*mo
I dont know what you expected getting high when you have a prior crime record find me in the lab you can disect it
Losing sleep need the sedative cuz my bank accounts like my AIDS test negative
And still alot of yall coming off jealous here Ill congratulate you when you get a better deal for real
Hook: Repeats twice
But still Im a ride to the wheels fall off and strive while I stride till my legs can't walk
And fly till my wings can't soar no more, I was raised like this since the day I was born
Verse 2:
To the struggle Im immune, everyday from the cradle to the tomb (yeah)
As if to breaths hard enough people gasping for air while they are coughing up
And they dont care about the fruits of their life
Feels like their left who could ever be right
Who could ever dream homes with the 10 bedrooms
When your people die and they can't even get headstones
I ain't never been the one to not dress in clothes
And turn heads like your looking at your shoulder bone
Hold on im the sure shot, gold like fort knox, you can't clone me homie think xerox
Throw me out there Im making Baltimore hot rest of yall die like tide dye and clorox
My watch is Van Halen rocks like the one you smoke or the crack you inhailing
Got the hottest product thats in Maryland eversince a brother was 10 I wanted rocks with 10 karats
Because we deserve everything thats finer, never been overseas but the cabinets got China
Stay sharp like the ginsu cutting don't give no advice if you ain't been through nothing
See them dogs pushing cars with the rims all ugly with their wave cap on take that back to the country for real
Hook: Repeats twice
But still Im a ride to the wheels fall off and strive while I stride till my legs can't walk
And fly till my wings can't soar no more, I was raised like this since the day I was born
Verse 3:
You can find me on the ave enjoying the breeze
Never deal with snakes Im avoiding the squeeze
Unlike Florida oranges wake up Good Morning
Thoughts is abstract while Im painting a portrait
Yall make me out to be, whatever you see, whatever you like whatever you dream
Wherever I be is fine by me Im into arms like an IV from here to India like Arie
Going to church yeah I used to ask why me, while other kids rich seems success was flying by me
And Id lean on the bible to guide me in a whip with Jesus now Im cruising at God speed
Never got no scratch on me, don't be surprised if I ain't got no tats on me
All I got is truth in my words you can call me my soul keeps rhythm you can listen to my hearbeat
Hook: Repeats
But still Im a ride to the wheels fall off and strive while I stride till my legs can't walk
And fly till my wings can't soar no more, I was raised like this since the day I was born
