Real love through toughest nights
I was raised by my mother
I grew up with one sister
Me and five other brothers
Daddy died I never knew him
Step daddy was the greatest
All my life I never wanted for nothing I got the latest
Momma told me it's never to late to become a man
It's some things in this life you'll just never understand
I just take it all my trials and tribulations as a man
This is my destiny it's all part of God's plan
No helping hands they say I got the soul of a savage
I'm in the streets saving the little bit of soul I could salvage
Cold and lonely nights nigga
Where was you when I was broke no where to go
Nigga stuck in the streets it ain't a joke
Thuggin' with my thug brothers
Life of ours goes unspoke
Deep in the streets bustin' choppas chokin' off the gun smoke
Dropped out of school to sell dope
Life was focused on the riches
Still a king under God puttin' swords in these stitches
Life surrounded by this pain
Shoveled dirt in many ditches
Life was cold
You can't even endure what I done witnessed
Where was you when they was tryna kill a nigga on the curve
Where was you when I was hustlin' nigga tryna reach a bird
Where was you when I was broke starvin' bummy as f*ck
Where was you when I was at my lowest not givin' a f*ck
Ain't nobody gave me shit I lived through life on my own
Since a child never helped me shit I'm finally grown
Where was you
Nigga look me in my eyes nigga tell me what you see
Do you see the f*ckin' pain that's in you inside of me
Do you see all of the struggles that you made it through in life
Can you vision how you wanna die in this cold life
Lose your life in the streets nigga slain you in the rain
What's the vision 'for you die
Can you see the f*ckin' flames
Can you feel the f*ckin' pain every scar a way of life
I know you wish you could run so far away from life
Nigga tell me what's the difference between me and you
Nigga you sold dope in the streets my nigga I did too
Everything you did in life I done a different way then you
Pistols cash ice' and hoes bustin' choppas at my foes
I still feel like I'm the realest that's walkin' on ten toes
My momma always told me Quail
"Nigga hit you hit em back"
I'm throwin' jabs with this choppa
Lord that's how I'm fighting back
Nigga look me in my eyes
Thug tell me what you see
Nigga look me in my eyes
Thug tell me what you see
You bust guns in the streets
My nigga I did too
You rock chains and sold dope my nigga I did too
Nigga look me in my eyes and tell a nigga the truth
Nigga look me in my eyes and tell a nigga the truth
Look me in my eyes tell a nigga the truth
Nigga look me in my eyes tell a nigga the truth
