Ladies and gentlemen
We interrupt this program to bring you a special report
I had a big dream
To get on that big screen
A little birdie plotted the coup we fought over big cream
Swerving
One things sure two certain
Been working
Said I'll be back in like fifteen
Fifteen I got pressed over true religion
Sixteen had no where to run but my granny building
Seventeen to twenty one I had her place to kick it
Boy oh boy my heart broke when she said this ain't your place to live in
Fast forward now I'm tryna be what's on TV
Quickest way to end up on the murder scene
These scales ain't in our favor be that only thing I ever see
We sinking through the pain I let that weigh in when I heard your scream/
Mission was we had to find out where those hours went
Where ours went
Our power went
Can't tell me where our vision went
No dollar and no dream all I had to spend was 50 cent
It's hard to keep my focus when you gone up against many men
I ain't gonna hold you man I need some
Some money to pay these bills and put my fam
Damn son shit I need a new lease on life
Yo I need to hurry up and finish school bro cuz this shit honestly
I need to get out of here and get paid
I got a big dream
I got a quick scheme
I had a moment I had to own these bands on the big screen
I needed quick cream
I need to stay clean
From the war outside pressure all on my TV
My lesson
You try to show perfection
Flaws idolized
Been criminalized
My image is far from perfection
My lesson
Far from what they might expect
We've been so far gone
We've been long gone
Tried to stop my reach
I've been reaching for attention
I've been reaching for perfection
I done played this game would've known my name would've thought it's my profession
I done been insane before
Been in shame before
Had this lane before
Been in pain before
Lost it all tried to meet your standards
Tried to meet your standard wanted more
My mission was we had to find out where those hours went
Where ours went
Our power went
Can't tell me where our vision went
No dollar and no dream all I had to spend was 50 cent
It's hard to keep my focus when you gone up against many men
Yo my nigga I can't f*cking eat son
Damn it's cold out here son shit
I need a baller ass nigga I'm tired of f*cking with these broke niggas
This nigga recording me oh my god niggas be on my body
