Verse 1
Uh
Growin up yea it was a pain
Broken Memories takin over my whole
Brain
Crazy how things will Neva be the same
Thru hard times and struggle I had to maintain
Keep our heads high that was a day to day
No heat at nite so in the cold I lay
Wakin up for school momma was MIA
I wonder where she at
Hopin that she okay
But she was I jus didn't know
Livin the lifestyle of a single mother yo
Everyday same scenario
That's just how it go
On the real couldn't make it without my brother tho
He was by my side like a father figure
We knew trouble but he kept me from those ni**as
I see it now and it really made me think bigga
Moma gotta know she raised all winners
Hook
Yeah
I Dont Know where I'm headed
But I ain't tryna go back to wat I came from
Uh
And They say imma regret it
Give me a reason for that becuz it ain't one
And I'm tryna stay focused
That's word to my Moma see
Had to be strong as a little boy
So it ain't no stoppin the man ME
Verse 2
Uh
Verse two let it sink in
Visited my pops every other weekend
It was sweet then
Jus to get a break
Parents was still havin problems that I couldn't take
It was hard as a kid playin two sides
And inside Is where I hid all my cries
Nobody took the time out jus to ask why
Prolly cuz if they did
Wouldn't get a reply
I kept all my issues bottled up
What?
Keepin it in sorta made me tough
But the side effects came and Thats no bluff
Bein Rough made me kinda like that stuff
I'm speaking on the things I can remember
Mom did wat she could for my birthday in November
Loved bein at my dads for thanksgiven dinner
The fact we all wasn't together stung me like a splinter
