IIIIIIIII didn't know, there'd be troubles along the way |
[00:05.57] |
Nobody told me nothin, nobody told me nothin, nothin |
[00:10.35] |
Well, well, ohh, ohhhh, ohhhhhh, oahh-ohhhh |
[00:23.05] |

Uh-huh, uh-huh-huh, uh-huh-huh, uh-huh-huh |
[00:35.75] |
|
[00:36.00] |
I went through, 8 different schools in, 12 different years |
[00:39.31] |
That's 30 different teachers, over ten thousand different peers |
[00:42.54] |
And I done fought in e'ryone, been suspended e'rytime |
[00:45.67] |
Besides a few a felony, done committed e'ry crime |
[00:49.08] |
But never braggin on, just want you to see me what I done done |
[00:52.43] |
I'm never proud of it, so I don't have to go back there again |
[00:55.95] |
And uhh, I used to go like house to house (man) |
[00:57.82] |
Sleepin on couch to couch (you know) |
[00:59.80] |
Walk around stickin out my hands, lookin for a handout |
[01:02.77] |
Only thing I handed out was more bills |
[01:04.61] |
Only thing pulled me out was my will |
[01:06.15] |
God told me the sun don't chill |
[01:07.76] |
Determined to make use of one of these skills |
[01:09.44] |
Either that or go beat the block |
[01:11.04] |
Ain't no way you can beat the cops |
[01:12.62] |
Ain't no way I can beat the clock |
[01:14.33] |
Just a matter of time shut down your shop |
[01:15.98] |
Ohh, you stay up day and nights, livin this way of life |
[01:19.33] |
I was +Young and Restless+ |
[01:20.76] |
+All My Children+ came and then I had a +Guiding Light+ (hey) |
[01:22.89] |
No more of that sittin mayne (c'mon) sittin and waitin |
[01:25.90] |
and thinkin somebody comin to take me up off them streets |
[01:28.83] |
But now I know.. |
[01:29.56] |
|
[01:30.33] |
Nobody told me that the road would be easy, yeah |
[01:36.21] |

Nobody out hurr rootin for me but my Momma |
[02:16.17] |
Supported me in e'rything, "Why she get e'rything?" |

Some people got the nerve to ask |
[02:20.73] |
Y'all can kiss my ass, and that's my Momma |
[02:22.79] |
Got a sister that need my help (hey) and I gave peace all with wealth |
[02:25.92] |
Give anything that I have, just to see her in perfect health |
[02:29.29] |

[02:39.33] |
Don't plan on leavin hurr no time soon, but I got too comfortable now |
[02:42.58] |
