Yo **** rapping & bragging about the way you ballin' Spray cans in my backpack and I was starvin' In middle school with a trey five-seven revolver My family said I wouldn't make it, now i'm grindin' hard I dedicated this to the kids growin' up with no father Believe me I know what you goin' through I almost lost it Ever seen a teenage boy whose feelin' like robbin'? That was me at 14, I was driving through compton On my way to inglewood I was thinkin' of nonsense Somebody tagging on the wall so I had to go cross it ********** I had guns in my mother's closet The day she caught me, tear drops started falling Then she slapped me in the face Looking brokenhearted How the **** do I explain that my hood is stronger Enemies is lookin' for me 2 in the morning It's been about the 2 weeks and she still ignores me I'm ******* up so much as hate, that is building towards me She's on the phone with my fam saying I'm disappointing Saying I'm disappointing Oh man, I'm a disappointment As I sit all alone with pain I wonder - will I ever see my mother smile? I wonder - will I ever see my mother smile? Am I ever gonna see that day We stop strugglin' Will I ever see my mother smile? Strugglin', yea.. Yo, would you like to know why I was so troublesome? That eviction notice on my door ,ade me hustle drugs I seen my mother crying 1999 My father left us behind My feelings empty inside I try to not miss 'em Me & my older sister Carina please tell 'em bout that ****** up christmas I had to go to school lying to my friends Pretending I was happy bout some **** I didn't get Fake smiles through the whole winter I was cold wearing old clothes and socks with holes in 'em Gang members I was close with 'em I was just a kid They was asking me to do some coke with 'em I was broke, man I rather sell some **** with 'em Road trips to the border to go get 'em Young & hopeless Trying to get in to show biz Hoping they would give me a chance Nobody noticed As I sit all alone with pain I wonder - will I ever see my mother smile? I wonder - will I ever see my mother smile? Am I ever gonna see that day We stop strugglin' Will I ever see my mother smile? Strugglin', yea.. Oh man, you know what really trips me out is that uh.. People really think I owe them somethin' You know I hear people talkin' all the time But its like they don't know the struggle and the **** we gotta go through to get to where we are right now (but I don't owe them a damn thing) I had to sacrifice so much time, you know Had to put my family trough so much pain It's like everything that I got right now, I owe it to the family Finally my mother can smile now Oh yeah编辑于2023/12/15更新
