[00:13.880]
[00:25.880]I remember wakin' up, bein' broke but still it wasn't breakin' us
[00:34.880]I remember why I broke the rules, cause I ain't really have nobody to look up to
[00:42.880]I remember cuttin' class, bein' bad, cause I ain't have what them other kids had
[00:48.880]I remember wishin' that I knew my dad, then I remember wishin' I could get him back
[00:54.880]For every night that he told me he was comin' and he didn't, for every single dollar that my mama 'nem was missin'
[01:03.880]For every thing I wanted and was told I couldn't get it, and that I had to face it that my daddy was addicted (damn)
[01:10.880]That's right it wasn't easy growin' up, mama was exposin' us to life as she knew it
[01:16.880]So we all went through it, I remember bein' down and out, sleepin, on my homie's couch
[01:22.880]In & outta trouble ever since my mama put me out
[01:26.880]Damn it's gettin real, Damn it's gettin real
[01:29.880]Didn't graduate, I'm thinkin damn I gotta deal
[01:32.880]So I hit da block, sellin rocks just to eat a meal
[01:35.880]So I grabbed da Glock, kept it cocked..Peace is being STILL
[01:40.880]In da back of da tracks, my nigga's stayed wit da packs
[01:43.880]And if a nigga was schemin', my brotha stayed with tha gat

[01:51.880]These ho's was chasin' da cheese, so we would stay wit da rat's
[01:55.880]And we was ridin down, dippin low, I stayed in da back
[01:58.880]In the X5 stuntin, we ain't know how to act
[02:03.880]Spendin' money like it's nothin, cuz we gone get it back
[02:05.880]17 never thought that I'd be gettin dem racks, had a dream but I said I wasn't fuckin' wit that
[02:13.880]Mel told me I would make it, I ain't fuckin wit that.. but he told me that it wouldn't hurt to give it a try
[02:20.880]Hardest thing out in New Orleans never see 25
[02:23.880]Right then I woke up, broke out, told my nigga's had to roll out, moved to the A and got motivated,that inspiration don't run out
[02:31.880]Heard my brother got gunned down and it hurt me to my heart, So I kept grindin', I kept pushin', he told me to go far
[02:38.880]So I can't stop at no crib, can't stop at no car, Gotta. Keep. Goin. Like there ain't no tomorrow
[02:45.880]So I'm goin hard everyday, til I got nothin' to say, nothin' can stand in my way, I gotta stay, to show my nigga's a different way (waaayyy)
