verse 1:
when i was small i was always infuatated with words
in school skimming through dictionaries to taking all those spelling bees
but never could stay outta trouble commiting all those felonies
but couldn't help it, that was the only thing to do at the time
never had no real friends just ones that got me into crimes
so bored i would make up crazy rhymes to get 'em off my mind
never doin' my homework no matter how much were assigned
and no matter how hard i tried i don't think i could even do 'em if they
were defined, before i knew it time flew by and no more time ta unwind
never was one that liked hints and me and my ma got in so much
arguments, no fuckin' wonder why she bounced from
boyfriend to ex-boyfriend never budged or tried ta bend
always there when i didn't need her when i did, always left at a dead end
always was one to bounce round style from style and trend ta trend
just trying whatever i could do to mix in with the blend
but stood out anyway and no matter how much i can say
this life of mine will always be gray

hook:
i know you can relate
no matter your weight
or mind of state
sometimes it's hard to get through the hate
u could change it's never too late (2x)

verse 2:
one day i wish ta have a daughter
and learn from everything i taught her
bragging bout how much stuff i bought her
i'd keep her as pure as water
and wouldn't have ta worry bout living in a land of slaughter
and have her take care of me when i'm old and in a walker
live in a land without even one stalker
and i'd be happy with a son if i ever have one
and i'd hopefully live ta see my grandson
where they don't have ta worry bout carrying around a handgun
and ain't gonna be like my father where he never even bothered
i'm gonna do whatever i can
from the end all the way from where it began


hook:
i know you can relate
no matter your weight
or mind of state
sometimes it's hard to get through the hate
u could change it's never too late (2x)
