[ Featuring The M-Tet ]
(Listen to what I got to say)
Listen to what I got to say, yeah
(Listen to what I got to say)
Here's what I'm going through today
And I
Been strugglin' for so long
How could I
Ever right all my wrongs?
(Listen to what I got to say)
Lord please, listen to what I gotta say
(Listen to what I got to say)
I'm gonna survive, no matter what they throw my way
And I
Ain't never been no perfect man
Mistake after mistake
Ain't easy to understand
I grew up with them hard heads
I grew up on these hard blocks
I grew up under the streetlamp baby
Baby cuffs and long socks
See all I'm trying to get you to understand is,
Listen
To what I gotta say
See I grew up under the streetlamp baby
But look at me now
Growing up, I didn't have any family to turn to
So you all the family that I got
(Listen to what I got to say)
Listen to what I got to say, girl
(Listen to what I got to say)
Here's what I been through today
For so long
I been strugglin'
All of my wrongs
Kept on pilin'
(Listen to what I got to say)
Baby please, here's what I gotta say
(Listen to what I got to say)
Look at all that I been through, take a look at me today
I grew up on Story and King
Where ya chances of making it are slim
Where it wasn't no peaches and cream
Where ya odds of survivin' look dim
But I'm that homeboy that made it baby
That's the reason why I pray
See I survived on the Eastside baby
It's made me all that I am today
I survived on the Eastside baby
I survived on the Eastside baby
I survived on the Eastside baby
I survived on the Eastside baby
I survived on the Eastside baby
I survived on the Eastside baby
I survived on the Eastside baby
I survived on the Eastside baby
