My childhood was poor & ridiculed

But momma never raised no fool

My childhood was poor & ridiculed

But momma never raised no fool

My childhood was poor & ridiculed

But momma never raised no fool (facts)

Some nights, we barely even had food (facts)

Praying I won't make it on the news

My peoples did the best that they could do

A college dropout, I ain't finish school, but

I got the hang of it now, I'm on some new stuff

It's murder mitten in here, but I'm the cool one, shit

I chuckle when I reminisce on 2004

I was like 11 getting busy in a Taurus

SPORT, used to hit that clearance rack

I had like 40 snaps, needed sum'n to grab

Barely hung with my Dad, I ain't stressing

What's prior is in the past, what's the present

And I ain't here to ruffle feathers, but I'm questioning

Man to man, why'd you run, & leave us hanging there

My childhood was poor & ridiculed

But momma never raised no fool
