I'm living in this world

Troubles all around

Trying to build a place to live in

Set the freedom right now

Walk through my area

Local gangs and police surround me

Abandon houses, me and my homies with drugs around me

I wasn't thinking about my family, I was seeing profit

Until I got a booked at the show I probably should've tossed them

Fucking drugs out, I said I'm done without a doubt

My mom don’t want me at the house

So now I’m searching for a route

All I see is filthy pathways

Smoke and think of my past ways

Roll a blunt, see the ash fade

Drink, don't think of the damn taste

Reminiscing on my life, predicting where I'll be

Thinking if I died tonight, will Jrox be the first I see?

'Cause really I don't know where I'ma go if I would die tonight

I just hope my time is right

And get to kiss my mom goodbye

I'm living in this world

Troubles all around

I been going through shit on a daily basis, but I always get through it, man

Trying to build a place to live in

I've walked a hundred miles in my shoes and I ain't got no problem with walking a hundred more

Set the freedom right now

I'm living in this world

'Cause I'm willing to die for what I stand for

Troubles all around

Trying to build a place to live in

Set the freedom right now

I bet the people I cut off would die to be in my clique

Should have known that I wouldn't make it with everyone that I'm with

But I know it won't be the same

Through your smile, I see the pain

Your misconception is thinking you slick but I know the game

I've grown into what you made me, so hate me all that you want

Your hide in your jealousies, disguising them with a front

Now I'm high on a day-to-day, getting tats take the pain away

Speaking words like a poet, my life's a song, let the record play

Overcoming my obstacles, I remain humble

'Cause everybody that's with me came from the same struggle

They remind me where I come from and what I believe in

South-central LA where I remain breathing

I'm living in this world

Troubles all around

I'm opening right till the day I die

Tryin' to build a place to live in

All my homies smoking weed

Set the freedom right now

I'm living in this world

Beautiful women everywhere

Troubles all around

Drinking Hennessy

Tryin' to build a place to live in

Till we all meet that day we see Jroc again

Set the freedom right now
