Reminiscing:
came up poor as fuck, schooled on the front porch
did well in school, but need more than good grades in the Short
Short North, producin' nuthin' but drugz, thugz and roaches
and parinoia, got me jumpin' whenever someone approaches
me from behind, and it's a permanent condition
moved up out the hood, and i still ain't changed how i'm livin'
figured since i was nigga be treated as a demon seed
so i thought i'd be accepted if i stopped smokin' weed
not me, they accused ME of sellin' the shit?
told em to look at my clothes do i look like i'm rich?
but they don't want to hear logic when it don't suit their story
i was so desperate for acceptance would've took it on Maury
and took a drug test lie detector whatever
don't matter cuz to the neighbors i'll be guilty forever
mother passed and fosho it was a tragedy
but hurts more cuz thru the pain wit people mad at me
they ain't wanna have a brothaz back watchin' him cry
but thinkin i deserved every tear out my eye
and my boyz knowin' i'm innocent, wouldn't stick up for me
instead fucked around with my girl, damn i thought we was homies?
but i think i've finally had enough, had it up to
here with people's bullshit, to the hypocrits, fuck u
the ones that knew what i did and didn't do, the ones who did it themselves
there's a time when a real man has to look at himself
and realize that america eats it's babies, that's just my luck
now they know why i live a THUG LIFE and don't give a fuck
