Started off on the Island
AK Shaolin
Where we wild about
Them Kung Fu flicks
I looked up to my brother
The man on the block
He sold that rock so you know
He had his hand on the Glock
Son of a preacher, so Sammy
Had to stay upstairs
My first fights I was scared
Learned not to fight fair
Always - dreamed of freedom
I was finally free
WuTang, M.E.T
First day at Mckee
The High School followed my cousin Into the 22 Jungle
Banging Nas, Mobb Deep, and U2
About 30 deep
Had the girls and all
Smoking trees drinking liquor
Spitting rhymes galore
Now I'm a monster, What class
My class was at the corner
Graduated Hard Knocks
No need for a diploma
By then so called friends
Were turning on the fam
To go against your brother man
I didn't understand
So I changed my plan
And focused on rap
Got up with my homie Joey
Formed a hazardous pack
And with Domingo, we went
And laced a hazardous track
But there's more to the story than that My family made a move
We moved down into this
Ozone City
To tell you the truth
I was far from being ready
Far from being pretty but
I had to make due
I had to change my ways
I had to take two
And make a breakthrough
Cuz I couldn't avoid it
So every chance I got on the mic
I destroyed it
A Prince - who battled any
Mister and Miss
But my - dream was simply
To be bigger than this
School's out, so I decided to make Music full time
Cousin Onnix was here
So it was breaking the rule time
Despite the fact that
I was only a jit
I faced alot of opposition for
The things that I did
The New - Kid on the Block
But I wasn't Joey McIntyre
I heard a knock on the door
The sound of rapid fire
And It was Jesus
But I paid no mind
All I really cared about
Was trying to get signed
And then it happened
I didn't see it coming
Just when we thought it was on
I lost my cousin
Stabbed up at a party
I should've been at with 'em
But if I was there I probably
Wouldn't come back with him
By this point I was
Done with the rap scene
Didn't want the fame
Didn't wanna make mad Cream
I just wanted to close my eyes
And take my last breath
Without my best friend
There wasn't much I had left
But then again I heard a
Knock on the door
It's Jesus - He said
I didn't have to suffer no more
Cuz He already endured the pain
And went through the storm
So I had to let Him in
He said I'm Now Born Again
