Getting paid for a game I like
which will I choose?
Pursuing my dreams and I'm
I'ma buy her a house too
Look out for my sister, the first thing
no more apartments full of roaches
We'll have the best of everything,

It's gettin', it's gettin' kinda hectic
Cause life is in the dough,

Everybody ask for what they want,

Fucked around and got a girl pregnant
My baby won't be neglected
the way my daddy did me

All of my dreams turn to nightmares
And if I tell you about it, maybe you might care
I got a

Mexican girl pregnant,
but she got abortion
Said I wasn't disciplined,
didn't have caution
She told me I would be dead
before next autumn hits
I disagree,
D
Em
but maybe she's right in a sense
Cause I'm a
G until the day they put me in a crypt
D
Em
No bullshit, whore liv

I got a call from my sister,
it's my birthday again
D
Em
I barely no ticed,
dude's father lied for murder on
Thanksgiving
but it's too hard to be layin' in it
Fightin' the drama,
can your son get a visit?
I'm feelin' a little depressed,
out beyond belief
So much weight on my chest,
daily I'm missin' the streets
D
Em
Got me stretched out like a
pregnant lady's belly
X -rayed it, it stagnated
and it's drivin' me crazy
D
Em
I created this situation,
I know that's the truth
No father figures in the ghetto,
but that ain't no excuse
D

Mama, excuse me, be happy, please
Feel like my soul's gone
Pray for your only son
Need to be strong
