[00:14.33] They asked me how I came up
[00:17.21] Cause I stayed down

[00:20.42] Them people know my name now
[00:22.23] It's crazy how I got the fame
[00:24.68] My life so dangerous

[00:58.54] And I can't show no bitch no feelings
[01:00.68] Cause when I do it's like they seem to don't know how to act
[01:04.36] I made it out, took me some time, my mama proud of that
[01:08.10] Locked in the cell, I did that time, they must forgot the fact
[01:12.19] I needed help but they didn't help me, oh they need me back
[01:16.13] And they can't take it back
[01:17.97] There was times I prayed for another life
[01:19.81] Asking my mama why we broke and why we ain't rich?
[01:22.18] 40 in my pocket trying to hit a lick
[01:23.98] Wish I had them shoes like that other kid

[02:07.58] On the block I lost my soul
[02:09.63] All the nights I couldn't control
[02:11.26] The fact that I lost without no hope
[02:13.66] I was praying for the better (praying for the better)
[02:15.41] Mama told me never say never
[02:17.39] But I ain't never have a thing
[02:19.43] So now it's 'part of my lecture when I speak up
[02:23.03] Got on my grind, went copped that whip then put my feet up
