I've done my best, to try and forget But it's not so easy, It's not that damn easy Ghetto Birds in the hood, they say that we can't fly The American dream is such a beautiful lie Every shot not attempted is considered a miss My niggas pushing the rock like they was filming for Chris Father scratching them tickets, said that he gon' win it And once he do, he'll cop a mansion that is perfectly fitted I was fighting depression and didn't nobody know Kept it all bottled in, while pops was drinking a four Guess that's kinda ironic, it probably runs thru the fam Tired of saying this shit, I'm screaming fuck uncle Sam Made mistakes in my past, that I can't take back But if I could, swear I wouldn't that just paved my path It's not easy...
