I came straight from the ghutter
The place I grew up
The place I sold drugs
Yeah the place I screwed up
I had no money
My family broke
All we ever had to survive
Was fucking hope
Came up hungry
Still rep the hood I came from
Survive with a gun
Burn in the sun
This life ain't fun
So I can survive my family
My fucking pride
This is why we ride
We stand together when we die
We grew up in the fucking projects
Lived our life on the edge of the law
And at the edge where I saw
The life I had
The life that I draw
Wasn't the life that I meant to live
So now I sit on the corner
And I reminisce
About the old times
And about the blis
They look at us like we were nothing
Look at us like we weren't something
Look at us like we wouldn't become anything
They look at us like we were nothing
Look at us like we weren't something
Look at us like we wouldn't become anything
They look at us like we were nothing
Look at us like we weren't something
Look at us like we wouldn't become anything
They look at us like we were nothing
Look at us like we weren't something
Look at us like we wouldn't become anything
I remember one morning
The police stood outside
I wasn't sure what I did
But grandma' cried
But things they've changed now
For the brothers who came up with me
I know I can't expect
My family to forgive me
Can't go back cause I'm grown now
My whole family knows now
That this kid done changed
They all want me to show how
I did my thang
Did my duty
Unleashed my pain
Walk alone in the rain
I know I seem bad
But I ain't the same
Came up stronger
Now they know my pain
(Now they know my pain)
Came up faster
Now they know my name
(Now they know my name)
Came so fast
I think that I'm going insane
But they know
How it goes when everything is good
Your story gets told
They look at us like we were nothing
Look at us like we weren't something
Look at us like we wouldn't become anything
(Wouldn't become anything)
They look at us like we were nothing
Look at us like we weren't something
Look at us like we wouldn't become anything
(Wouldn't become anything)
They look at us like we were nothing
Look at us like we weren't something
Look at us like we wouldn't become anything
(Wouldn't become anything)
They look at us like we were nothing
Look at us like we weren't something
Look at us like we wouldn't become anything
(Wouldn't become anything)
(Wouldn't become anything)
