[Big L]
2
Aiiyyo, some people was born in heaven
3
with a silver spoon in they mouth
4
and had everything handed to them on a silver platter
5
and never had to work hard for nothing
6
(Pause)
7
Then there are some people that was born in the opposite world
8
of those that was born in heaven, which is called hell
9
and had to work hard for everything they got
10
and never had nothing handed to them... and never will
11
[1st Verse]
12
I'm only at the age of 10
13
And life already seems to me like it's heading for a dead end
14
Cause my moms be smoking mad crack
15
My dad went out for a fast snack, and never brought his ass back
16
Nobody knows how I feel, it's quite ill
17
Cause I had to steal to fill my stomach with a nice meal
18
Too ashamed to walk the streets
19
Wearing the same cheap sneaks and dirty outfits for weeks
20
Even my holidays got damaged
21
Cause on Christmas I asked Santa for a father and a hot sandwich
22
I just can't take it (uh-huh, uh-huh)
23
And every day I ask myself, 'how will I make it?'
24
[Chorus]
25
It seems like my life's been cursed
26
Ever since I was a child, and how will I make it?
27
I won't, that's how
28
I walk around with a frown; I got no reason to smile
29
And how will I make it?
30
I won't, that's how
31
Aiiyyo times was rough, I had to grow up foul
32
And how will I make it?
33
I won't, that's how
34
I always knew that I'd end up doing time on the Isle
35
And how will I make it?
36
I won't, that's how
37
[2nd Verse]
38
Five years passed by, now I'm at the age of 15
39
No more fun and games, it's time to get cream (word up)
40
Cause I'm about to burst, it's like my life was cursed
41
I went to church, prayed everyday
42
And it still got worse
43
Soon I ran into a couple of guns
44
Started stalking the streets, slate robbing suckers for funds (give it up, give it up)
45
Now everyday I creep with the heat
46
Ain't nothing sweet, I rob for meat
47
If I don't steal I don't eat
48
Then I lost control and started going too far
49
Robbed this brother named Umar
50
Then got snatched by the blue car
51
Where I grew up it was a living hell
52
Then I started to realize "“ I'm better off in a prison cell
53
Now I can sleep, now I can eat
54
Can't hit skins, but I wasn't hitting skins when I was in the street
55
Aiiyyo I just can't take it
56
And every day I ask myself, 'how will I make it?'
57
[Chorus]
58
[3rd Verse]
59
Doing time was full of stress G, all the
60
Fighting's and stabbings and men finding men sexy
61
One tried to test me didn't find it humorous
62
Beat him with a pillowcase filled with cans of tuna fish
63
My time came to a cease; I'm back on the streets again
64
I hope I don't get snatched by the beast again
65
But it's getting crazy hectic
66
Cause I'm broke, get up naked
67
And can't get a job cause of my jail record
68
Before you know it, I was robbing them same ducks
69
I even started robbing homeless folks for they change cups
70
My whole life was deserted
71
Either I'ma go back to jail or get murdered, but do I deserve it?
72
All I tried to do was live the one life that I got
73
But it seems like I can't get a fair shot (word up)
74
I just can't take it (uh-huh)
75
And every day I ask myself, 'how will I make it?'
76
[Chorus]
77
[Big L]
78
Word up man, it's real rough out here man
79
In the ghetto, all you can wish for is a better tomorrow
80
It ain't getting no better, it's only getting worse,
