Drive by's and Helicopters...
im not a thug thats just where i came from.
homicide and suicide...
yea i attempted suicide at an early age TWICE, i wasnt self motivated.
Grewup in tha middle of a No good, hOOd.
I go back home and people doin tha same things...
honestly all i had was fam, ball and Musik 2 sing...
had hope sumtims but i always had doubt.
confused alot, didnt know ma own route.
Sun shines tha same in va.
but people dont wake up with a motive in ma part of Ca.
Inglewood, crenshaw and adams, Tha jungles.
Nothing there but tha same places and stores and memories...
The watts riots were on those same streets.
no1 pays attention 2 da history, not realizing that its on repeat.
I did th0.
I went 2 schoo.
I chose 2 keep goin.
gang bangin, no father, jus Moms, runnin the streets, no money, fightin, shootin, stealin...
the Life.
o yea and Ballin'
Motivation 2 get out bcuZ i never knew wat was outside of Cali.
never thought of it much.
not at all.
i did think of me and ma basketball.
what made me go tha right path?
Maybe watchin Pops do what he did 2 da Family?
i didnt wanna be like him, naw not me
He had 2 take 9 bullets b4 he realized his blessing...
i wonder hy i got shot then..
jus like my dad did..
did god do it 2 wake me up?
iono...
