| [00:00.470] |
Aiyo some people was born in heaven |
| [00:02.830] |
With a silver spoon in they mouth |
| [00:04.640] |
And had everything taken to them |
| [00:06.320] |
On a silver platter |
| [00:07.570] |
And never had to work hard for nothing |
| [00:09.630] |
Then there are some people |
| [00:10.820] |
Who was born in the opposite world of those |
| [00:13.510] |
Was born heaven which is called hell |
| [00:15.870] |
And had to work hard for everything they got |
| [00:18.180] |
And never had nothing taken to them |
| [00:20.390] |
And never will it's real |
| [00:22.240] |
I'm only at the age of ten |
| [00:23.920] |
And life already seems to me |
| [00:25.670] |
Like was heading to a dead end |
| [00:27.540] |
Cause my mom was smoking mad crack |
| [00:29.660] |
My pops went out for a fast snack |
| [00:31.660] |
And never brought his a**back |
| [00:33.80] |
Nobody knows how I feel |
| [00:34.580] |
It's quite I'll that I have to steal |
| [00:36.510] |
To fill my stomach with a nice meal |
| [00:38.580] |
Too ashamed to walk the streets |
| [00:40.140] |
Wearing the same cheap sneaks |
| [00:41.760] |
And dirty outfit for weeks |
| [00:43.880] |
Even my holidays got damaged |
| [00:46.60] |
Cause on christmas I aksed Santa |
| [00:47.650] |
For a father and a hot sandwich |
| [00:49.650] |
I just can't take it |
| [00:51.890] |
And everyday I aks myself |
| [00:53.520] |
How will I make it |
| [00:54.700] |
It seems like my life been cursed ever since I was a child |
| [00:58.130] |
And how will I make it |
| [00:59.380] |
I won't that's how |
| [01:00.390] |
I walk around with a frown I got no reason to smile |
| [01:03.260] |
And how will I make it |
| [01:04.760] |
I won't that's how |
| [01:05.690] |
Aiyo times is rough I had to grow up foul |
| [01:08.840] |
And how will I make it |
| [01:10.150] |
I won't that's how |
| [01:11.220] |
I always knew that I'll end up doing time on a L |
| [01:14.390] |
And how will I make it |
| [01:15.710] |
I won't that's how |
| [01:16.890] |
Five years past by now I'm on the age of fifteen |
| [01:19.820] |
No more fun and games it's time to get cream |
| [01:22.130] |
Cause I'm about to burst my life was cursed |
| [01:24.940] |
I went to church prayed everyday |
| [01:26.400] |
But everything still got worse |
| [01:27.710] |
Soon I ran in to a couple of guns |
| [01:29.900] |
Started stalking the streets late |
| [01:31.330] |
Robbing suckers for funds |
| [01:32.610] |
Now everyday I creep with the heat |
| [01:34.740] |
Ain't nothing sweet |
| [01:35.740] |
I rob for me if I don't steal I don't eat |
| [01:38.00] |
Then I lost control and started going too far |
| [01:40.510] |
Robbed this brother named Umar |
| [01:42.60] |
And got snatched by the blue car |
| [01:44.60] |
Where I grew up it was a living hell |
| [01:46.300] |
Then I started to realise |
| [01:47.550] |
I'm better off in a prison cell |
| [01:49.300] |
Now I can sleep now I can eat |
| [01:51.360] |
Can't hit skinz but I wasn't hitting skinz |
| [01:53.420] |
While I was in the streets |
| [01:54.850] |
Aiyo I just can't take it |
| [01:57.160] |
And everyday I aks myself |
| [01:59.100] |
How will I make it |
| [02:00.220] |
It seems like my life been cursed ever since I was a child |
| [02:03.510] |
And how will I make it |
| [02:04.760] |
I won't that's how |
| [02:05.700] |
I walk around with a frown I got no reason to smile |
| [02:08.690] |
And how will I make it |
| [02:10.190] |
I won't that's how |
| [02:11.190] |
Aiyo times is rough I had to grow up foul |
| [02:14.310] |
And how will I make it |
| [02:15.620] |
I won't that's how |
| [02:16.680] |
I always knew that I'll end up doing time on a L |
| [02:19.800] |
And how will I make it |
| [02:21.170] |
I won't that's how |
| [02:22.300] |
Doing time was full of stress G |
| [02:24.410] |
All the fightings and stabbings |
| [02:26.160] |
And men finding men sexy |
| [02:27.790] |
One tried to test me didn't find it humerous |
| [02:30.30] |
Beat him with a pillowcase skilled with cans of tuna fish |
| [02:33.120] |
My time came to a cease |
| [02:34.860] |
I'm back on the streets again |
| [02:36.360] |
I hope I won't get snatched by the beast again |
| [02:38.740] |
But it's getting crazy hectic |
| [02:40.560] |
Cause I'm broke and up naked |
| [02:41.870] |
In cagitive jar cause of my jail record |
| [02:44.120] |
Before you know I was robbing them Saint Ducks |
| [02:46.680] |
Even started robbing homeless folks for their change cups |
| [02:49.590] |
My whole life was deserted |
| [02:51.340] |
Either I'ma go back to jail or get murdered |
| [02:53.780] |
But do I deserve it |
| [02:55.90] |
All I try to do was live the one life that I got |
| [02:57.960] |
But it seems that I can't get a fair shot |
| [03:00.820] |
I just can't take it |
| [03:02.710] |
And everyday I aks myself |
| [03:04.520] |
How will I make it |
| [03:05.700] |
It seems like my life been cursed ever since I was a child |
| [03:09.200] |
And how will I make it |
| [03:10.390] |
I won't that's how |
| [03:11.390] |
I walk around with a frown I got no reason to smile |
| [03:14.510] |
And how will I make it |
| [03:15.880] |
I won't that's how |
| [03:16.880] |
Aiyo times is rough I had to grow up foul |
| [03:19.880] |
And how will I make it |
| [03:21.180] |
I won't that's how |

I always knew that I'll end up doing time on a L |
| [03:25.300] |
And how will I make it |

I won't that's how |
| [03:28.120] |
Word up man it's real rough out here man |
| [03:30.740] |
In the ghetto all that remains for us is |
| [03:32.280] |
Wait for a better tomorrow |
| [03:33.160] |
But it gets no better it's only getting worse |
| [03:35.840] |
Word up |
