I knew this guy from atl georgia, |
|
said he wanted to be a judge when he grew up, |
|
had a good life livin up in the suburbs, |
|
doin his thang, just tryna make him come up, |
|
but one day things became to make a bad change, |
|
his father left, and his mother had to maintain, |
|
moved to the ghetto, joined a gang, and began to slang, |
|
now he found himself, caught up in the game. |
|
what can u gain from makin up your own rules? |
|
a major change from the things that he use to do, |
|
and he even stopped prayin like he use to, |
|
now he doin what he thinks that he gotta do |
|
now his boys is the only thing that he needs |
|
and mary jane is his only necessity |
|
the state of mind is his only capativity |
|
and now he has to face reality |
|
and this mentality |
|
and what he did for the will of stability |
|
his life's changed so physically mentally |
|
he didnt mean to go through this intentionally |
|
now he has to face reality |
|
and the ghetto ghetto mentality |
|
Till he was chained wit a baby mama |
|
now hes trapped in a lifeless full of drama |
|
still thinkin that he can do what he wants |
|
but he gotta live for his son, cause hes still a father |
|
now hes tryin to make money the best way he can, |
|
trifflin down the streets, thinkin that he da man |
|
dude is blind, he still cant understand |
|
how much his life is gettin outta hand |
|
what can u gain from makin up your own rules? |
|
a major change from the things that he use to do, |
|
and he even stopped prayin like he use to, |
|
now he doin what he thinks that he gotta do, |
|

what would you do, if you gave the word to lose your soul? |
|

|
I got the feelin to know you care, and I, |
|
I wanna know if you'd take that chance |
|
You could trust me boy, this is not the end. |
|
If you dont hear true, then we'll talk again |
|

|
and mary jane is his only necessity |
|

|
and now he has to face reality |
|
