Just tell my family that I love 'em
This my story
Look
I remember momma got sick and had that surgery for real
Every time I saw her gave me chills
Look, momma always taught me be a man and handle biz
I was raised to get it how I live, look
No lights when we was struggling tough
Pops would always work but it just wasn't enough
I would cry to God like why you punishing us
Both my parents love the Lord
It's only you that they trust
I was raised to know God, but I was caught up in my mind
If he love us so much, why we struggling to survive
America dont care about us
We black and from the south
Saw my pops turn down a meal so I can have food in my mouth, man
That changed my life and he dont even know it
You fed fam before yourself
You always kept it humble
And even at your lowest, you still gotta hustle
My pops the realest man I know
On everything I love you, man
And we would argue everyday
Took my anger to the streets
I would threaten to run away
Started hanging with the homies
I started to drift away
Gang banging, selling drugs
They dont know the half today, look
I just wanted to escape
Hate the fact that we was broke, the school kids called me names
And I would come home, everything so outta place
Get into it with my momma, she dont wanna see my face
Then we moved from the H out to Dallas, it was hectic
I was so livid I just wanted some acceptance
And we was still broke, rich kids laughing at me
Made my mind go crazy
Mentally I started spazzing
Mental break downs, it was drastic
I went and bought a gun cause I thought I had to have it
I bet them suckers run if I ever had to blast it
They would say I wasn't bout it
I was posted with that magnum
I would dare somebody run up
I would get to clapping
So much evil in my soul
So much pain that I encountered
Yeah the devil in my head
He saying I'm a coward
My peers disrespect me, then violence gotta solve it
But hold up
Mind all out of order
I forgot the bigger picture
Take care of your fam 'til the Lord come and get ya
Never be afraid to be yourself or to be different
God your only judge
People only give opinions
But when you young and wreckless
And you striving for acceptance
You will go to any measure for someone to accept ya
Cause really at that point you just drowning under pressure
Pray God give you mercy
You fell victim to the devil
I swear I know that feeling
Thats the story of my life
Lucifer send them demons
Come and tear apart your life
Homie I remember screaming
I was gripping on that 9
Barrel to my dome
I was thinking suicide
I know my momma love me
I didn't think that she would cry
She know her son crazy
I was spazzing all the time
I tried to pull that trigger
Tears rolling down my eyes
Saw the light, then I blinked
But the gun jammed twice
From that moment on I never questioned God again
Though I struggle with some things I will never comprehend
Didn't ask to be born, but this life is such a gift
Made a promise to momma that I would never choose to quit
Even though we come from nothing
Ima grind and get it in
Tell my brother that I love em
And I'm just tryna represent
Watch me stack a couple mill
Talking bout it since a kid
Thank the Lord for my success and put my momma in a crib
I'm still on my hustle
I could never forget
Being broke and out my mind, with nothing to benfit
I just rather do this music, and I chase the benfits
Make this money, be successful
Handle business, be legit
Dear God, hope you hear me
Please forgive me, I repent
Im not tryna be religious, but I know I live in sin
Only way to get to Heaven is to kill the pride with in
Hope that I make it to Heaven so I see my fam again
A lot of homies dead and gone
Man I sit and reminisce
Wonder how I'm still alive
And how I even made it here
Pops told me all the time
Boy, you smarter than you live
Im just now getting what he said, man
Look, Just tell my family that I love 'em
I love you
