[ Featuring Fundisha ]
[Chorus]
Have you eva eva eva in your whole whole life
Seen the the things that I've seen
Or live the life.
People don't know what I go through
Or imagine what it's like growing up in the hood
Have you eva eva eva in your whole whole life
Seen the things that I've seen
Or live the life
People don't know what I go through
Or imagine what it's like being misunderstood
Maybe if you could walk a mile in my shoes
You would feel all the things that I go through.
And then you tell me what you would do.
To try and make your dreams come true
When you feel like your back is up against the wall
And every time you try to rise you fall but
Yet you find the strength to hold on
Keep the faith despite it all
[Chorus]
Have you walked ever outside scared you might lose your life.
Don't know if you'll live to see 29
May even be a kid
You have to be a man in order to stand
But I got bigger dreams inside of my head
Don't want to end up the next one dead
So I pray everyday for a better way
Help me lord Hey.
[Chorus: x 2]
Imagine growing up
Dead bodies showing up
Hood dreams
Nobody blowing up
One out of two barely make it
Half incarcerated
My life I wouldn't trade it.
Not for the love or the money, money (uh)
Don't try and play me for a dummy, dummy(what)
Dreams must be something in these project walls
I trust in God that's why I never fall.
[Chorus: x 2]
