Lyrics
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
