[Verse 1: Kaleem]
Uh, Look ain't nobody perfect
I know you heard it a million times and thats real
We all try and earn it
But behind curtains we lie and cheat and we steal
This ain't on purpose, its just life
Things happen we move on
We focus on trying to do right
Everything left is considered wrong
Young man he struggle
Fam need to eat so he hustle
Mama doing all she can
But it won't cut it so he working double
Plus dad left and yeah he gone
Never really understood that
Tring be a man all on his own
Huh..
[Bridge 1: Kaleem]
Look where he at
Imagine that in your lap
You in the world forreal
You got your back against the world
And they act like you ain't suppose to feel
All of this pain
They throwing dirt on your name
In this position would you feel ashamed
Its all a game
Well played
[Verse 2: Mastermind]
Sometimes I wish
We could be like Tron
With a disc on my back full of my whole life
I could pa** you on
Kind of close with these mp3s
I shine will all of my flaws
Through some I learn to live life
And some repeatedly scarred
Got a baby brother in the state pin
I Never talked about how he got in
When he went in
That moment
I lost my child-hood
Bad choices living in a wild
Hood
[Bridge 2: Mastermind]
At night when we lay down
It was 2Pac playing on the radio
He never knew his paps
We never knew our paps
And like him we never let it go
But in spite of all that
I turnt up for mine
They know me so good they can draw me blind
And mock my voice and climb my walk
We argue we bark
We hug and we talk
Got that from my grandaddy
One time for my grandaddy
Two times for my momma cause she never gave up
As we G'd up
She prayed up
As it all went down
I lost so much
But the thing about life
You never give up
You can make it
Swear to God, momma said that we can make it
One time momma said that we can make it out
