[Chorus]
2
How can you just leave me standin'
3
alone in a world that's so cold
4
maybe I'm just too demandin'
5
maybe I'm just like my father too bold
6
maybe I'm just like my mother
7
she's never satisfied
8
why do we scream at each other
9
this is what it sounds like when thugs cry
10
[Verse 1]
11
(yo) First off I got a seed comin'
12
so I won't even front like I don't need nothin'
13
dependin' on record sales for me to see somethin'
14
but if that fall back how the fuck I'm supposed to feed little Budden
15
I been to jail before
16
I been a bum before
17
but a nigga ain't never had a son before
18
I dealt with caine and fire
19
I done banged with fighters
20
but I ain't never changed a diaper
21
I ain't ready
22
ever since I signed niggas been on my back
23
like mouse what up, when I'm gettin' on the track
24
and so the hood hates me
25
figured they be much kinder like Joe congradulations and we comin' right behind ya
26
everybody in the hood I dap
27
says I'm responible for everybody in the hood that raps
28
they don't like how I do shit say I changed
29
I'm the same nigga that ya'll went to high school with
30
after all these years I'm still the same drug addict
31
and it's fucked up I'm
32
sober with them same drug habits
33
I still pinch, thief, con and lie, rob, shoot
34
difference now is I ain't high
35
Cats is after me
36
atleast I got a crew to warn me
37
I don't like walkin' around with this 32 on me
38
atleast my mans is real
39
atleast my family's there
40
is it worth rappin'
41
the answers yeah but I don't know...
42
[Chorus]
43
[Verse 2]
44
yo I'm a survivor
45
I seen darker days
46
a mama's boy with my father's ways
47
but I had to see my mom in tears
48
when pop went to the store for them newports that he must ain't find in years
49
my little brother lives in the same state
50
I ain't know that
51
I got a little brother
52
I didn't know that
53
see I was never told that
54
if so I'd of been at the door with a basketball and a kodak
55
love my baby moms to death
56
she don't believe that
57
shit I ain't never there for her to see that don't wanna
58
lose my wiz
59
beggin' her to do this bid
60
not jail but this music shit
61
and I know your family hate me but we come far
62
just us against the world unarmed
63
me and my girlfriend
64
come a time when your mind ain't right and you (???)
65
and you get used
66
to not being used to
67
I'm cool with where the lord placed me
68
but I hold my heat and pray I never have to take it off safety
69
I pray for all my niggas pinchin' on the curb
70
Jersey City will get the recognition it deserves
71
I pray for my son, he'll have genes like me
72
pray that he don't have to go through everything like me
73
pray to God to bring out the things I never knew I had in me
74
the rest of my mom and dad in me (uh huh)
75
[Chorus]
