I come from the Southside

Them ppl was outside,

I come from the jungle

Things I’ve seen will leave ya mouth wide,

Leave you traumatized

Look at his mama eyes,

Thought he could change the hood,

Now they feel like Obama lied,

The walls closing in

And nobody noticing

Won’t see this on Fox News,

No media focus in,

So where does the hope begin?

And where does the pain stop

I pray for the sun to rise

While dodging the rain drops

Whatever remains I try to convey and maybe you’ll play it back,

I try to portray the accurate feelings and put it all on a track,

Of kids with dreams to make it on screeen an NFL cornerback,

But chances are slim and all he’s seen is slim from his corner back,

Living in cycles,

Toting a rifle,

Looking at stifled growth,

Wanna get out

but mama nem doubt but he got a right to know,

And she got a right to show,

Her mind is brighter than LED,

So she got more value than what he see,

Unless he was seeing her as a queen,

And she got a right to a bigger dream,

Of owner instead of a secretary being secondary and it’s very scary what you’d do when you find out what you can be

Or when you can break out from what you see,

Or when you can break out from how they think,

Or when you can get away get a break and find out you control yo reality then you’re happily found

Then you’re happily found

But are you found unless you’re happy?

I know this world was out to trap me,

Out to present the precise statements

In hoping you might make it

I know you will though

Ya know,

I used to think that found myself in what I did

But I was a fool,

Listen up

I have a story to tell you

about when I was a lost one

I found me when I was 25,

I’m 26 that made me wonder how long I was lost,

I knew my name, city, state

But ain’t know who I was,

But then again I did but didn’t show cuz what it cost,

I never thought they would accept me for the real me,

But silly me being controlled by that trivial thought,

My homie said you perfect for this opportunity,

To reach the youth he laid the blueprint I said where to start,

He said the heart
