No matter how good you want me to be [?]
Used to walk around with a head full of naps
Every young kid with a head full of raps
Doing what I can just tryna adapt
Jumped to the block up of grandma's lap
Jump to the block so did every young [?]
But got it till the truth gave the block [?]
Looking forward [?] but the block was not
The block was real, wu got killed
Half a year later big spank got killed
And I got robbed, the [?] got shot
And I found my first [?] 2Pac
And I got hard cause I was smart
I knew that the weak enemy couldn't make it in the street
Had to search yourself to survive
So I convinced myself it was better for me
To be Jack in the lord of the flies
So book got read, books I read
Cause I'm addicted to literature
But as a young boy running round with the clip
Cause back then I was insecure, I was insecure
Cause I realized, ain't no one for the civilized
When a [?] rumble in the jungle
And that's why Simon and Pete get die
[?] but he lives changes, nothing the same
Should have drive a man out his brains
Drive a young man insane
My cousin Jimmy had a break down,
He ain't never been the same
And he will never be ok
If I could fix his brain
Take back the crack in his mind give it all back
You can have the racks and fame
I'll give it all back in exchange
This for the dads and grand dads,
And the lil homies that ain't never had that
This for the uncles and the og's,
And the lil homies, and the white g's
This for the [?] and all the struggle that a man had to go too
For every man that never had the [?]
[?] let me see you put your hands up
I lost my youth, tasting my youth
Made me a youth in the back of a coop
Teenage love like slick [?] and I had a gold tooth
[?] she was light skin [?]
But of course it didn't last
Cause I had to go to college and she was still in high-school
[?] this is bad, this ain't good
My baby's in the hood [?]
So I go get a job, [?] where they treat you like the ass
You all know how the story goes
Drop by the college it still says
[?] but, mostly I got [?] don't stunt it o a nigga
[?] please boy grow, I wish I never had this show
I wish you never had to go
Wish you could meet my wife
Wish you could see my life
But you had to see the life
Wish I had one more day,
Wish I had a tomorrow, that's your birthday [?]
This for the dads and grand dads,
And the lil homies that ain't never had that
This for the uncles and the og's,
And the lil homies, and the white g's
This for the [?] and all the struggle that a man had to go too
For every man that never had the [?]
[?] let me see you put your hands up.
