lyrics

What a man I’ve become, but let me take it back to where it begun

Chicago the west side you better brandish a gun

The devils lurking try to vanish & run, protect my sanity

A penny for my thought had to manage my funds

I saw death early right there the damage was done

One to the face the other shots damaged his lungs

A mind on the run, at that very moment I began that

Mentally young Philly Managed a ton

I saw therapist & shrinks way before it was hustle

Fighting a battle Inside my mind what a struggle

Paranoid, how can live with condition

I’m being watched & followed, the killer on pay a visit

14 I wondered I’ll see 25

& when I turned 25 I woke & cried

Bittersweet, I’m watching over my shoulders religiously

Fighting demons in the hood is no way for a kid to be, but this is me

➖➖➖➖➖

I heard it all from being called crazy mind in the fog it’s all hazy,

I unpack the ill thoughts hoping they all pay me

To escape, I used to sit henny ball daily

16 with the bottle in hand like a baby

Now I’m much older the fight hella stressful

Where I’m from ni%a even when you sneeze they don’t bless you

I’m more recluse now never leaving home

I need it for a zone nowadays to each it is own

My man’s preaching from the speakerphone

He squeezed the chrome, 90yrs in Indiana hope he see it home

Too many losses not enough gains, struggles & pains

The sound of my daughter’s help he ease the brain

You can smell or see the pain,

it’s like speaking another language when asking me to explain

I’m still in the game plenty clock to go

I’m winning for sho, I’m much better, but this is Me
