I came to tell 'em the truth And the truth hurts () She said 'do what you're supposed to, and neva let em fold you' Mama was a thug, I was raised by a soldier The purse on her shoulder got a pistol with no holster Said 'let a nigga make a move and I'mma toast em' Ghost em, sleep tight ain't neva what it seem like Wanna know my life? A lot of death in some street fights Walkin' home at night they smokin' meth by the streetlights Had to check some nigga cuz they thought I was the weak type See heights that they neva thought I could reach Word games and flashcards so my daughters can speak Cuz she about to turn five and she can't say a word Since she's not autistic all these doctors gettin' on my nerves Consistent with my urge until I get what I deserve Killin' all you nerds I'll treat the rap game like the purge Tongue trickin' while I drive, baby please don't make me swerve She only interested for benefits will I eva learn?
