Growin up I've seen a lot of things in life.
I've seen the good, I've seen the bad, I've seen the happy, and I've seen the sad.
But through it all, I'm just blessed to be alive man Now I've been ridin down these roads lookin for some peace of mind.
Steady thinkin bout my future, what would take for me to shine.
I ain't lookin for no friends and I ain't lookin for no pity.
Trustin no one but my family and my dawgs who's riding with me.
Now these times are lookin hard and the road is lookin bumpy.
Ain't no faking, ain't no flaunting, I was raised by the country.
Carried weight up on my shoulders and it's been a heavy load.
I don came a long way, lookin back, it's been a long road.
Said it's been a long road.

Grew up with a mom and dad who gave me a place I could call my own.
Tryin to get my soul in check cause dog we livin in evil days.
Mother told me watch the boys cause most the boys got evil ways.
That's why lately I've been solo, cause nowadays they be on them no-no's.
One day they show you love, then the next day they play gossip like homos.
It is what it is I guess, you make mistakes, you live and learn.
Things don't come on a silver platter, cause in this life good things are earned.
We were taught to work hard, ain't had no time for slackin.
Show love to our brothers and sisters and give the shirts off our backs.

Used to always wonder if I'd ever meet the dreams I had.
Before the mics and the keyboards, all we had was tape recorders.
Dropped out of school at eighteen, we weren't good at takin orders.
It seemed we couldn't do nothin right, we always had to battle luck.
No one understood our hearts, all we ever had was us.
Everybody was doin their work while me and my brother was makin beats.
Then I finally left that school, cause I couldn't take the heat.
Now that I'm in music seems like nobody want to see me shine.
But it ain't no thing to me.
I'm tellin all haters, catch up with your own kind.

I learned that friends come and go, but family last a lifetime.
My soul is full of hurt, that's why I pick up the pen and write rhymes.
