Somebody questioned,
if I got the right to recite what I spit

'Cause I've never been indicted,
or divided a brick

But my life is grit,
B 
all types of crisis and shit

I knew it wouldn't be easy,
but no one said it be hard

As it is, I mean the evil in
B 
the heart of these men
Em 
Got me won dering,
if I'll ever see the reward

At the end of the road,
Em 
it's kind of hard to remember your goals
B 
When you grow where,
C 
not many live to get old
B 
I played the cards that I was given,
and never listen to those
Em 
B 
Who think different
