1
I remember wakin' up, being broke
2
But still it wasn't breakin' us
3
I remember why I broke the rules,
4
Cuz I ain't really have nobody to look up to
5
I remember cuttin' class, bein' bad,
6
Cuz I ain't have what them other kids had
7
I remember wishin' that I knew my dad,
8
Then I remember wishin' I could get him back
9
For every single night that he told me he was comin' and he didn't,
10
For every single dollar that my mama 'nem was missin'
11
For every thing I wanted and was told I couldn't get it,
12
And that I had to face it that my daddy was addicted (damn)
13
That's right it wasn't easy growin' up,
14
Mama was exposin' us to life as she knew it
15
So we all went through it,
16
I remember bein' down and out, sleepin', on my homie's couch
17
In & outta trouble ever since my mama put me out
18
Damn it's getting real, damn it's getting real
19
Didn't graduate, I'm thinking damn I gotta deal
20
So I hit da block, selling rocks just to eat a meal
21
So I grabbed da Glock, kept it cocked
22
Peace is being still
23
In da back of da tracks, my nigga's stayed wit da packs
24
And if a nigga was schemin', my brotha stayed with tha gat
25
Yea, yea we stayed in da trap, yea everyday in da trap
26
These ho's was chasin' da cheese, so we would stay wit da rat's
27
And we was ridin' down, dippin' low, I stayed in da back
28
In the X5 stuntin', we ain't know how to act
29
Spendin' money like it's nothin', cuz we gone get it back
30
17 never thought that I'd be gettin' dem racks,
31
Had a dream but I said I wasn't fuckin' wit that
32
Mel told me I would make it, I ain't fuckin' wit that
33
But he told me that it wouldn't hurt to give it a try
34
Hardest thing out in New Orleans never see 25
35
Right then I woke up, broke out, told my nigga's had to roll out,
36
Moved to the A and got motivated, that inspiration don't run out
37
Heard my brother got gunned down and it hurt me to my heart,
38
So I kept grindin', I kept pushin', he told me to go far
39
So I can't stop at no crib, can't stop at no car,
40
Gotta keep going like there ain't no tomorrow
41
So I'm goin' hard everyday, 'til I got nothin' to say, nothin' can stand in my way,
42
I gotta stay, to show my nigga's a different way
43
Imma tell da truth and da whole truth,
44
Cuz there ain't no need to lie
45
And I ain't tryna keep it all inside,
46
So I gotta testify
47
For you and I, I testify
48
Imma tell da truth and da whole truth,
49
Cuz there ain't no need to lie
50
And I ain't tryna keep it all inside,
51
So I gotta testify
52
For you and I, I testify
53
Imma tell da truth and da whole truth,
54
Cuz there ain't no need to lie
55
And I ain't tryna keep it all inside,
56
So I gotta testify
57
For you and I, I testify
58
Imma tell da truth and da whole truth,
59
Cuz there ain't no need to lie
60
And I ain't tryna keep it all inside,
61
So I gotta testify
62
For you and I, I testify
63
I testify, I testify
