| [00:16.32] |
To every girl who ain't never had a daddy and every boy who ain't never have a mother |
| [00:19.70] |
|
| [00:20.28] |
To that pretty woman lost in the world who seem to think another man won't love her |
| [00:24.22] |
All the homies locked up in the pen who can never seem to dodge that trouble |
| [00:28.26] |
Hold your head up high cause there's better days hard times I was praying for them better ways |
| [00:32.29] |
I don't know a niggas struggle but I know pain |
| [00:34.22] |
Cold world but a nigga trying to maintain |
| [00:36.15] |
|
| [00:36.78] |
Still praying for a little change |
| [00:38.64] |
Bills due and I can't pay |
| [00:40.21] |
Or when your money low when your rent late |
| [00:42.10] |
And doc say granny gone after thirty days |
| [00:44.16] |
You don't even know the half of my heartache |
| [00:46.10] |
Too many I done lost is a heartbreak |
| [00:48.03] |
And they wonder why this young nigga goin' hard I done came too far from my boulevard |
| [00:52.11] |
Couple war wounds few battle scars but I'm still here living gotta thank God |
| [00:56.14] |
It's a cold world it don't love you |
| [00:58.05] |
Funny what a little faith and a hope do |
| [01:00.98] |
Lord |
| [01:03.03] |
And I know my momma praying for me |
| [01:05.60] |
And my granny praying for me |
| [01:07.49] |
I'm hustling for my family and that's every day and night |
| [01:11.50] |
And the day I witnessed my daughter born it was the greatest day of my life my life |
| [01:18.50] |
Yeah take a look in my eyes look how far a nigga came |
| [01:22.90] |
You can search my soul you understand my pain |
| [01:27.08] |
Nigga trust nobody and that probably never change |
| [01:31.02] |
With a little bit of hope you can reach your dreams |
| [01:34.96] |
|
| [01:35.96] |
For anybody who done ever had a dream you are just like me |
| [01:39.78] |
Still beleving in myself even when them niggas hated and they told me that it could not be |
| [01:44.41] |
You's a muhf**kin' lie motivate a nigga when you see him on the block |
| [01:47.73] |
Tell me how it feel when you struggle with the bills and your momma take pills and you never seen your pop |
| [01:51.77] |
That put a dent right into my childhood |
| [01:53.68] |
Still praying that I want to live good |
| [01:55.74] |
Selling dope get you hoes and them nice cars |
| [01:58.36] |
I'm just thinking if I really should |
| [01:59.92] |
Small city young nigga with a mindset |
| [02:01.80] |
Ain't never trying to be another convict |
| [02:03.74] |
See I can't lose and I won't quit |
| [02:05.80] |
As long as God in my heart then I'm conscious |
| [02:07.85] |
Remember when they said I wouldn't be shit |
| [02:09.78] |
People doubted that I ever had a gift |
| [02:11.78] |
Who the f**k are you to judge me nigga I will never let them sink my ship |
| [02:16.53] |
Through the trials and tribulations nigga still I stand thank God in advance |
| [02:21.00] |
|
| [02:22.77] |
And I know my momma praying for me |
| [02:25.21] |
And my granny praying for me |
| [02:27.22] |

| [02:50.60] |
With a little bit of hope you can reach your dreams |
| [02:54.59] |
|
| [02:55.72] |
Growing up I wanted to be like Jordan |
| [02:57.63] |
Even though I couldn't really afford it |
| [02:59.56] |
Who's to say I can't be an Obama |
| [03:01.56] |
A Tiger Woods worth about a billion dollars |
| [03:03.56] |
Everybody wanna sell a little coke |
| [03:05.50] |
Cause it's cool to them niggas you know |
| [03:07.56] |
Nobody wanna be another judge |
| [03:09.56] |
Young niggas only looking for the plug hope |
| [03:12.49] |
Watch your momma doing dope |
| [03:14.05] |
|
| [03:14.55] |
Daddy locked in the pen |
| [03:16.55] |
And you on your own |
| [03:18.42] |
Gotta keep your head up |
| [03:20.47] |
When you're tired and fed up |
| [03:22.53] |
Better days gon' come |
