Verse 1
Am 
This is what I call
F 
a dysfunctional blessing
Am 
Dysfunctional,
F 
cause these spirits was at war
Am 
But a blessing, cause it made me stronger
I had a lot on my mind, pill popping
Drinking alcohol everyday
Non -stop around the clock
I was partying like an animal
Constant, popping off at the mouth
Not worrying about the concert
Quenches all my actions
Packing a pistol with Jack Daniels
Following my dream to
become a rapper
Steady walking the wrong path
A teenager that had people in my ear,
sayin' I wouldn't last
I laughed it off,
F 
gang fightin' in high school
Am 
but didn't pass at all
Steady makin' up my rules,
you can't fade this boss
Hangin' with 18 niggas
F 
Am 
ready to break you off at whatever cost
I'm havin' a rough time
gettin' along with guys
F 
Am 
They des pise me,
ready to pop me,
but did the job real sloppy
F 
I wasn't wise, I idolized Gaddafi, Scarface,
Am 
Rocky Guzzlin' Saki with my team in high -speed chases
F 
Dodging the cops,
Am 
F 
screaming at baby mama
For not being motherly enough
Am 
But I dodged the mirror,
wishing my vision was clear
C 
Am 
Persevering through snak
F 
ing the grasses
Am 
who had me near
They family,
F 
acting happy like they had my back
But couldn't provide
Am 
a tissue for my tear
Near the brink of insanity
F 
My house had the spirit of Amityville
Am 
Mental agony, God damn it,
this shit is real
Suicidal thoughts,
my family having Thanksgiving
I'm in the basement,
popping on Tylenol
Ready to end it all
C 
Till I caught a phone call
F 
Am 
and was asked to go to the hip -hop shop
I dropped the bottle
wasn't ready to be a father,
F 
Am 
but I did it though second baby
Mom, I had a child out of state
and I didn't know working our jobs
C 
F 
had a rat partner who betrayed me
Am 
We've been rocking ever since junior high.
I married my first baby mama.
F 
Am 
F 
Damn. Why a nigga was blind?
Am 
I just wasted my  damn time
I got signed to shady whining and dying
F 
living my life like I'm single
Am 
trying to find a peace of mind
My preacher at the time
was hiding behind the words of God
A false prophet,
I was spiritually binded
But what was crazy was
I trusted the guy
Yeah, he cursed us,
but a week later, proof had died
I'm thankful for the wife
that I got by my side
Not the first one I divorced,
the faster than a lightning ride
With proof gone,
I drunk like never before
My probation got broke,
the judge put out a warn
The morning I was on my way to the memorial
I was supposed to go to court
He knew I wasn't going though,
I had thoughts of going on
the run so far
I couldn't do a third D12
album behind bars,
but Kanaeva talked me out of it
I got back to my senses,
F 
turned myself in,
Am 
and got the sentence over with
Came out sober legit,
drinking alcohol all over again
Hustling, trying to put out my solo shit
C 
Had a cheerleader telling me don't quit
Am 
My brother was trying,
but my mother had got sick
She was shut in, couldn't do nothing
My father was an alcoholic,
but he became a supportive husband
The thought of it had me nauseous,
F 
Am 
I  was trying to run away from the pain
But she died from natural causes,
depression kicking in
I could've became a monster,
F 
but God conditioned my mind
Am 
state to become stronger
I always have a scar on my heart,
nothing less
But what's best,
F 
when I look back,
yeah, I was truly blessed
Am 
If it wasn't for the trials
that I went through,
I wouldn't be swift
I was dysfunctional,
but blessed with this gift
Till my soul fades by,
F 
Am 
I  got to try, try, try
F 
Got to try, try, try
Am 
F 
Till my friends are gone,
Am 
F 
I'll be pushing on so strong
Am 
Oh, so strong
F 
One judge per day, I won't fade away
Am 
F 
I'll be pushin' on, pushin' on
Am 
Till my dying day,
F 
I won't give it all away
C 
F 
I'll be pushin' on, pushin' on
Am 
F 
Till the rivers run dry,
I got to try, try, try
F 
I'll keep pushin' on
