born in the hood raised in the ghetto
man it was tuff sisters and brothers dying i really got it ruff
man i am growing tuff i see allot of things in the hood through these eyes
gotta beg for a dime gotta hustle for a quarter
family going different ways its like swimming in dark water
barely had a mom spent time in foster-care
thank god parents for being there
then came school kindergarden was ruff
i always was "spoken about" shes not good enough why is she failing
in my head i would tell myself i try and try but it is just to hard
sometimes i feel like giving up but i don't because i am worth it
got through elementry school grades were tough
dad wasn't there when i was born was in jail or as he called it a piece of crap
i asked him how does it feel being in jail he told me it's like living in hell with the devil MariahRodriquez
