[Verse 1: Blu]
4
I'm trying to find a way up out of this; living at home
5
Trying to find out who my father is, sitting alone
6
Bumpin' Common Sense blown
7
Not off the chronic, but off the knowledge in his dome
8
Still astonished - But I gotta move on
9
See my mother thinks my problem is I really ain't accomplish shit
10
21 without a car, scarred, without a scholarship
11
And some days I don't eat, all I got is pocket lint
12
I walk around with cold feet and I'm thinner than my wallet is
13
But she don't realize, her son is five times dominant
14
Than most niggas she's honoring, but she don't see the prominence
15
Probably fuck around and change the world like Bob Marley did
16
My talent's apparent, but its fatherless of how she don't acknowledge it
17
I hate running away from my problems without solving it proper
18
I don't wanna be a doctor
19
I just wanna be the father that my father never bothered to be
20
My son ain't never have to follow the streets
21
His role model is me
22
[Hook: Jontel]
23
Life can get you down some time
24
We keep movin' on
25
Just keep your head up high
26
All things change with time
27
You-- You gon' be alright
28
Never give up your dream
29
Maintain your fight
30
[Verse 2: Donel Smokes]
31
Up early in the morning, still yawnin'
32
Mama wakin' me up
33
If not church it was school, which I didn't give a fuck about neither
34
A non-believer you can call me whatever
35
Doin' dumb shit like ditchin' class
36
I knew nothin' better
37
Instead of treatin' myself I was cheatin' myself
38
Trying to be different when I should have tried being myself
39
It would have helped if Gramps Sr. was around
40
Left Mama trying to tell me that the gunshots was thunder
41
I was hearin' trying to sleep over Little Bo Peep
42
A strong woman kept seein' tears fallin' from her cheeks
43
On my sheets - Was he strong was he weak? I don't know...
44
But it takes something great to leave a family of four
45
Sometimes it makes no sense at all
46
Even though we made it over where you fumbled
47
Mama picked up the ball and scored
48
Lord help the man wherever he is
49
And give me the strength so I won't do the same to my kids
50
That's real
51

[Verse 3: Co$$]
53
I gotta get up outta here
54
I'm a prisoner of pain
55
I'm a captain to a mind like it's driven insane
56
It's like I'm livin' for the minute let this livin's explained
57
I gotta know - If after living will our spirit remain?
58
Why we hugged up on the block and raise our kids in a gang?
59
And why once, we live once, we never livin' again?
60
Why my pops shot up ..... and what it did to his veins?
61
Was them needles from a victim that was inflicted with A.I.D.S?
62
Is this the reason that he got it?
63
You know why I suppose, I don't know -
64
Did I know it's like a knife in my soul
65
It's real talk, I ain't sure about the life that's beyond
66
And I ain't understand why people we fightin' them wars
67
Ourselves - God help us we ain't right in the head
68
And I be dreamin' 'bout my problems every night in the bed
69
I be thinkin' 'bout my past and shit a nigga feelin' passionate
70
The same time raised by the past - I can't get past this shit
71
And lookin' back on it - There ain't nothin' to say
72
I'm too wrapped up in the pain I feel this numbin' embrace
73
I get a flash of them streets and what they done to my face
74
And when he beat me to my knees he had a gun at his waist
75
But the beatin' that I took it wasn't nothin' to take
76
Trust me, he had have killed me if he done it today
77
I ain't never been no coward, so fuck that runnin' away
78
You only catch a nigga runnin' if there's something to chase
79
It's young Co$$
80
