| When I think about the past of my life, and all that I did on my own, | |
| my own, all the years that I was struggling day and night on the block was my own, | |
| to me I'm an outcast. | |
| It's been a long time coming, I'm still here I'm still breathing, | |
| I've spent a long time running through each season to season. | |
| I'm your prime example if you can't do it, so give it up, | |
| I'm your prime example cause I've been through it so listen up. | |
| It was deeper than just doing music and drug abusing, | |
| It's about your life and how you use it, the road you chose it, | |
| Determines your every step and movement, lord knows I tried, knows I'm defied, | |
| It's hard to run a race that I know I'm behind in. Know that I'm grinding, | |
| Look at life through my eyes, it ain't as easy as it looks. | |
| Nobody knows the blood and tears that it took. | |
| Here's an expected turn of aggression, that turned to obsession, | |
| Turned to depression, through all that you think I learned all my lessons. | |
| I ain't even scratching the surface, I ain't even half way, | |
| It ain't even about the bitches, or the money I've made. | |
| In fifty years when I look back on my past, | |
| All that I want is for my daughters to be proud of their dad, what else do I have. | |
| When I think about the past of my life, and all that I did on my own, | |
| my own, all the years that I was struggling day and night on the block was my own, | |
| all that I wanted was a chance to be accepted in life, so tell me if I'm wrong, | |
| I just want to do it before it's over and life's gone, | |
| Tell me you feel, But I never thought I would really be the man, | |
| to grow up from nothing to the one sitting before me, See I'm an outcast. | |
| Now momma always said it would be worth it, through all the pain and suffering, | |
| Through all the rain and hurting, nobodies perfect. | |
| I'm certain that if I left this earth, today they would miss me, | |
| But at my funeral how long would the list be before I'm history. | |
| An only child with no brothers or sisters, so often me and momma would pack up, | |
| The Dots and moving often is exhausting, back and forth in them section 8 apartments, | |
| There's only so much you can take, before it breaks your conscience and changes to nonsense. | |
| Now there's been times in life where I feel flawless, I'd have to say those, | |
| Were the times where my ears would hear whispers, from other angels. | |
| Taking actions from other angles, there's always a gamble, | |
| Always a handful, I was raised to show the game what I stand for. | |
| Can't nobody take this moment from you, there's nowhere to run to, | |
| So force them to make the decision to hate you or love you. | |
| That's the moment that your fate comes to a crossroads, | |
| And God knows, I've had my share of choices to make with obstacles off-road. | |
| When I think about the past of my life, and all that I did on my own, | |
| my own, all the years that I was struggling day and night on the block was my own, | |

| to grow up from nothing to the one sitting before me, See I'm an outcast. | |
| With every piece of sand that's in my hourglass, and with every breathe I take another hour pass. | |
| I tell myself it don't matter, I'll let them chitter chatter, | |
| Live with the laughter, get what I'm after, turn the page of my book. | |
| It's another chapter, I'm after a bigger dream just to capture the bigger things, | |
| That have actually came between all the people that disagree, | |
| With the typical human being that never makes up excuse's. | |
| But takes the breaks and heartaches the way that he slaves to make two cents, | |
| He's a nuisance but they still follow his shoe prints, | |
| Till the day that he chooses to break away from the pack, and the past is useless. | |
| Give it everything you got and never settle for less again, | |
| And they told me while growing up that success is the best revenge. | |
| I'm blessed to have walked the broken road,From student to teacher, | |
| When it finally evens out and your through it, it's much sweeter. | |
| I would never take it for granted, never out lash but outlast the struggles, | |
| That have now passed, label me as an outcast. | |
