But man
I done been through it all
so I I said
I wanna tell my story
'Cause I never cried or nothing
and that's where the Make 'em
say uhh uhh that's like my pain
That's basically what it is
That's my battle cry
Think about it
None of us are perfect
We live in an imperfect world
You know only God can judge me
that's how I look at it
The people that's sitting
around pointing their fingers
imagine all the stuff
they're probably doing
Whether you're police officers
doctors lawyers presidents
whatever you got good
and bad in everything
You know we're putting people
on a pedestal
that's just a human like us
You know I mean they got more
drugs in the rich neighborhoods
than they got in the hood
A lot of their kids dying
from overdose
and things like that
think about it
Black kids have
to figure it out
We don't have rehabs
to go to
You gotta rehab yourself
But for us
you can't pull the plug
on us and tell us
it's over Not me
