[00:52.76]Grandpa asked me "what the hell you think you doing?"
[00:55.29]I told him "i'm making music, you should take a listen
[00:58.09]I know i ain't the best but i ain't talking about no bitches
[01:00.93]I'm talkin' about no cars or cooking crack in moms kitchen
[01:03.47]I'm talkin' about life and everything that's in my vision"
[01:05.96]Man i swear I'm so thankful for the things i was given
[01:08.96]Speak on what i learned, hoping i can make a difference
[01:11.50]Speak to my boy that keeps going back to prison
[01:13.89]At the end of the day you gotta pay for your decisions
[01:16.73]I swear man i miss him, never get the chance to visit
[01:19.47]Ask what my goal is, it's just to keep living, just keep living

[02:39.65]Yeah I'm still a kid but these niggas need to grow up
[02:42.14]And to tell you the truth, I'm the only person i can think of that's
[02:45.18]Buying kids from the hood, cheese burgers and sodas
