|
H-O-P, Imma tell y'all a story of mine about how the lord put the weight on me (that's right), |
|
Y'all now in the place to be and you rocking with the |
|
H-O-P, Pay attention closely to my story (alright) [Verse 1:] |
|
Mami never had shit, neither did pa, |
|
And that's exactly that he beat her a lot, |
|
So shit, as a kid |
|
I had to be a cheater and rob, |
|
Dealing with the consequences of me getting caught, |
|
Life appear to be cool when |
|
I was young cause |
|
I didn't notice things, |
|
Rent was paid every month with no problems so it seems, |
|
And as I got older |
|
I went controlling things, |
|
Then I start to notice that shit ain't the way its 'posed to be, |
|
Come to find out we've been up and away, |
|
My ma feeling like she got a knife stuck in the gut, |
|
And dad tripping out for no reason cussin and stuff, |
|
I'm trying hard sucking it up like **** it its us, |
|
And Christmas in the house was not that popular, |
|
Cause all we ever receive was socks and boxes, |
|
My friend got a power ranger toy and a megazoid, |
|
It was official market on our ****ing family four, [Chorus:] |
|
Y'all now in the place to be and you rocking with the |
|
H-O-P, Imma tell y'all a story of mine about how the lord put the weight on me (that's right), |
|
Y'all now in the place to be and you rocking with the |
|
H-O-P, Pay attention closely to my story (alright) [Verse 2:] |
|
When I was 17 my dad moved out, |
|
He refused to try help for us get a brand new house, |
|
So that just me, my mom and my sister, |
|
And it was up to me to be the man to polish our future, |
|
We was slowly falling apart, |
|
I felt the pain all in my heart, |
|
When my mom would go and crawl in the dark, |
|
And cry lungs out cause she knew that our time was up now, |
|
I ain't know how to deal with none of it |
|
I was strung out, |
|
Finally my 18th birthday hit, |
|
I would had left,but |
|
I had to help her pay rent, |
|
My homies got their own place, they living very nice, |
|
Sipping on some |
|
Bugatti and throwing parties every night, |
|
They mom buying cars, new 3-50 |
|
Z's, Well my moms in debt, at least 50 |
|
G's, That means |
|
I have to work harder just to get by,cause if |
|
I don't we'll be struggling for the rest of our lives, |
|
****! [Chorus:] |
|
Y'all now in the place to be and you rocking with the |
|
H-O-P, Imma tell y'all a story of mine about how the lord put the weight on me (that's right), |
|
Y'all now in the place to be and you rocking with the |
|
H-O-P, Pay attention closely to my story (alright) [Verse 3:] |
|
God I gave my trust to you, but |
|
I hate my ****ing life, |
|
Nothings right its cold in my world, its never summer time, |
|
It is a test giving me this mediocre lifestyle, |
|
If imma get then it needs to happen right now, |
|
I'm one week away from jumping off a cliff, |
|
Or putting heat up to my head, and then dumping of a cliff, |
|
I know you think |
|
I'm just lying, cause last time |
|
I stood next to a cliff side, |
|
I bitched out but imma do it this time, |
|
Man forget, we both know |
|
I'm not, I just say that stupid shit cause |
|
I'm so low on gaup, |
|
But for real tho, god man you have to help me out, cause |
|
I know the road |
|
I'm rolling on is not a healthy route, |
|
From now to back to the day |
|
I was a little kid, shit didn't brighten up a little bit, |
|
Now wouldn't you be a little pissed if this was you, |
|
Yeah I'm cursing this the truth, |
|
Looks like imma have to resort to violence to get the loot, [Chorus:] |
|
Y'all now in the place to be and you rocking with the |
|
H-O-P, Imma tell y'all a story of mine about how the lord put the weight on me (that's right), |
|

|
H-O-P, Thank you for listening to my story (alright) |
