From Boy's Hood 2 Man's Ghetto

From boy's hood 2 man's ghetto and in between,

People betray me and say there's no "I" but a there's a "me" in team,

As I kept that in mind and learned that not everyone can be trusted,

I thought maybe not even society so I stole and got busted,

And as I realize that "tha hall" isn't a place I should be,

Fight tha child, boy I saw a man emerging in me,

Tryin hard to come out but is locked in by the lil boy's joy,

I saw that my entire world has now destroyed,

By one that's known as Ray's care taker,

Tha one she took care of is now known as society's HellRaiser,

So closely looked at as a baby and now tha same as a man,

As a baby for tha dorwl, all grown up cause

they think im going 2 steal something, damm,

And thats not tha one that that keeps tha valley's streets clear,

I mean tha one I have used as a man to take away my tears,

So from teachin tha boys right & wrong cause mom didn't take control,

And from being force out of boy's hood and catchin parole,

I thank my mother for tha tragedies in my life cause now I know,

That threw all tha bad times and great rhymes that I wrote,

I can now survive tha tragedies 2 come in man's ghetto,
