Everybody try to tell me I'm just showing off
Telling me to try to play the part but I just say forget all of y'all
'Cuz y'all don't know who I am, what I've seen, or supposed to be.
Ever since I was little I played in the street
Knew about crack before I could speak
And I'm going to think twice about what I say.
But then my dad left
I was straight after that, that's why I started to rap
I still stayed in the streets, though got into a lot of trouble
That same day that I turned 7 my best friend died
The bullets were meant for me but hit his side instead
That night I cried and I thought how the hell am I supposed to live my life.
