As a kid that used to be my home
I used to stay up in the liquor store
Top ramen honey buns 50cent sodas
And all i ever wanted to do was play the game
Mamma used to make me go outside so i learned the game
Where i had my 1st fight with moms on the block
Elder was on the block Trevon Was outside
I used to play with this musty white boy named Josh
His mamma came to the house trippin my mamma beat her ass
That's back when i was still scared of my Dad
He always used to say Son don't grow up to fast
But he wasn't around much during my childhood
Could of ended up another statistic just running around the hood
Walking to school by myself at only 7years old
Mamma letting me see and experience shit on my own
Making me stronger told me not to fear no one
Once asked me if i thought i was stupid i said & then she lost it
Slapped the shit out me left my mind puzzled
Thought that's the answer you was looking for
We made the best of what we had ay
I aint always get what i wanted
Finally got a playstation niggaz broke in our house & stole it
We was already struggling why they stealing from us
Not to long after that we was living with strangers
Really thuggin at the spot living something like shameless
A couple months niggaz had to go without cable
When we would still eat dinner together up at the table
2 bedroom 7 people and a dog it wasn't spacious
So long with these strangers i really started to hate it
There was Bookie Nancy Charmaine Shannon
My mamma had a big heart they was being scandalous
I used to say i was gonna kill em all when i got bigger
Kept seeing my mamma fighting seeing my mamma crying
But pressure creates diamonds
Well at least that's what they say
Mamma say we moving back to the V after the 5th grade
I wish i could of fly'd like a eagle
Cause all the pain hurt so it made me turn evil
Living with 4 grown ups i don't even know these people
Elder was my brother cause back then i didn't have no siblings
Wasn't helping my mamma so why they under our ceilings
Mamma beat up Charmaine oh such a good feeling
Then Charmaine told me don't be looking at my bump
Cause it was right there on her forehead
Then outta nowhere Mamma say we moving back sooner
We popped up In Vallejo Like poof
I told her i thought Jason was coming too
She said he aint wanna come i found out that wasn't true
It was different for me i aint know what i was gonna do
But ever since i been on my own two
You can only imagine what i been through nigga
