[Verse 1: Lona] Now Mike done came home His lights ain't on Momma looking broke down and yet she fights on He wonder why life wrong He read the bible, he pray, and he sing the songs But he can't catch a break, they won't leave him alone The kids at school is dissing, walking through the halls and he hear them whispering He can hoop never missing, got all of the schools visiting But his clothes got holes, he try to ignore it all but it gets old They hit him up about selling and he gone he gone, trying make that paper quick on the money train But which more important his life or the money made? Momma preaching, he ain't heard a thang Tired of the agony so he bugging, he bugging, now he out in them streets and he thugging, he thugging New life he hear sirens and he running, ducking bullets while the gunning Momma worried, her little hoopstar is now slanging and banging She suspicious of his endeavors and his engagements He laying boys out on the pavement if they don't have that payment He dealing, making a quick easy living Til he forgot which city he livin Now they trynna get him Yeah they tried to k** him He pull through just to get locked up, his girl knocked up Nike was supposed to have his shoes on sale, now he locked up and he sitting in a cell Where did the time go? Where did his life go? He had a future in hooping and now that road gone Everything he dreamed to be is everything that he not Son on the outside, by now he about five Mike fighting just to reach the outside Homies nowhere to be found, momma don't want him around He can't find a job, convict they ain't hiring Old flames is trying him, no one to turn to He was trynna ball and missed out on the ball, he disappointed em all Its so much going, he keep moving along Repairing broken connections, learning the word and reading in different segments Him and Sarah getting back together, not some girl he got pregnant And now he happy cause there's nothing like Momma's forgiveness He trynna make a difference Speaking at schools trynna save the youth Its life when you broke Just make sure mike isn't you
