Em
C
I've been through mad different phases like mazes,
to find my way
And now I know that happy

C
Doin' somethin' more constructive
with their time than bids
Em
C
I know because I been there
Now I'm in there,
Em

First came the bullshit
the drama with my Mama

C
Em
And said that I'ma be that seed that
C
doesn't need much to succeed
Strapped with mad greed and a heart

Group homes and institutions

prepared my ass for jail
They put me in a situation,
forcin' me to be a man
C
When I was just learning to stand
without a helpin' hand
Em
C
Damn, was it my fault?
Something I did?
To make a father leave his first kid,
Em
at seven doin my first bid
Back on the scene at fourteen
with a scheme
C
To get more cream than I'd
ever seen in a dream
Em
C
And by all means I will
be livin' high off the hog
And I never gave a fuck
about much but my dog
Em
That's the only muthafucka I'd
hit off with my last
Just another little nigga
C
headed nowhere fast

Verse 7
Em
That ain't the half,

Actions become bolder, heart got colder
Chip on my shoulder that I
dared a nigga to touch
C
Didn't need a clique 'cause
I scared a nigga that much
Em
C
One deep with the pit,
startin' shit for kicks
Catchin' vics, throwin' bricks,
Em
gettin' by bein' slick
Used to get high just to get by
Used to have to puff my L in the
C
morning before I get fly
Em
Ate somethin',
C
a couple of forties made me hate something
I did some coke now I'm ready
Em
to take something
Three years later showing
signs of stress
C
Didn't keep my hair cut or give
a fuck how I dressed
Em
C
I'm pos sessed by the darker side,
livin' the cruddy life

Nothin' but love for those
