They say this is a big, rich town
I just come from the poorest part
Bright lights, city life, I gotta make it
This is where it goes down
I just happen to come up hard
Legal or illegal, baby, I gotta make it

Picture a little nigga, who heart bigger than his mouth
Game so weak that make the chicks go south
The topic of conversation for all the wrong reasons
Rainy, cloudy life, in all 4 of the seasons
Built up a thousand walls and learned the game
Then trained himself and became the game
Know what to say to prevent ish going south
Best believe when I say, boy smooth with the mouth
Motivated with anger, driven by rage
Guarantee the story gets better with age
From 10 to 21, this shit got so depressing
21-31, with the laurels, he done resting
Stand up for what’s real, live what is right
Promise from 7/5 onward, it’s a fight
Beating away all demons, he breaking the curse
Before the life is over, and all he got is a hearse.

Let the story shift, from he to the I
I believe that my style is one that’ll never die
This booth talk here will raise an eyebrow
I don’t get why it’s so difficult to know how
I got so much anger, I got so much rage
All it did was get worse as we turn the page
My story is depressing, but fuck a pity party
I’m just in time to get it right, so far from tardy
I realize now that it’s worse before it gets better
I just keep faith in God that he’ll deliver to the letter
At the end of the day, that’s all I got
The good book says that he’ll forsake me not
So my faith stay strong, this anger I’ll fight it
Light at the end of the tunnel, fuck it I’ll light it
I never stop, never quit even when I stumble
I’m always ready to fight. Los ready to Rumble.
