I was out and about in the land

Greenleaf and longbeach, compton wandered the night with no home or a hand

I was forced to a fast real fast, two weeks carried 5 dollar bill in my hand

Big bro snuck me into the crib yes without the ok from the lord of the land

He risked it for me i'm indebted fast forward i write from pomona the land

It gave me a home yes indeed in exchange the streets took a whole lot of my mans

I'm screaming from dreams eluding the shooters who hopped out to take me from the fam

What it i told you the road to recovery bumpy but part of the plan

What if I told you the healing that's happening inside is what make me a man

What if i told you betrayal can happen right after I gave all I had

They left me on fumes, empty

I'm running on fumes, wont stop me from all that i gotta do

I'm unbreakable too, here are the tools to use

I don't advertise no no no no lie

What if i told you you what if i showed you that

There's another side we'll get there if we gotta cry

What if i told you you what if i showed you you you you

I know that you probably relate

Sometimes the place you was born it's better to find an escape

Itty bitty city that made you that's giving you all the hate

But you feel bound because it's hometown so you stay

Living in this cold world

Diamonds, gold and white pearls

Try to dim my light

That get you excited

Stay away from these girls

Don't let nobody ignite it

You the only on that can write it

You the only one that was fighting for yourself

Oooh baby don't get caught up trying to keep up

Baby don't you let your flesh lead you

Girl live your life cuz it's the best teacher

It's other sides just keep it in mind

I don't advertise no no no lie

What if i told you you

What if i showed you that there's another side we'll get there if we gotta cry

What if I told you you, what if i showed you you

I apologize you were told all those lies

What if i told you you

What if i showed you that there's another side, we'll get there if it takes all night

What if i told you you, what if i showed you you you you
