[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
