Verse 1:
If you're Lost out There
In the world all Alone
If you ain't got no Place
For yourself to Call Home
If you ain't got no Love
Ain't got no one to Care for Ya
I want you to know
That the Beast is right here for Ya
I been in them shoes
I slept in the cold Gutter
No spring Chicken
Man I'm 30 years old Brother
Been around the block Nonstop
Come swap Lives with Me
Brought a world of Pain
Upon n***as that got Wise with Me
When i was young i got Rowdy and Pissed Quick
Slick talking sh** cuz my parents was Mad Strict
My parents was Mad Broke
My Family was Mad Poor
Uncles coked up
Smoking and sniffing and drank Coors
Jersey City n***as
Witty see Titties
We City Gritty n***as
Pity my committee lived sh**ty
Not rich like Diddy n***as
So i don't blame all these n***as that Flaunt cake
They never had it Ever
Now that they have it
It Feels Great
Verse 2:
If you're Lost out there in the World
And you're Sad
If you ain't got the Guidance from Mom
Or your Dad
If you ain't got no Love
Ain't got no one to Care for Ya
I want you to know
That the Beast is right here for Ya
I been in them shoes
Ate nothing but Top Ramen
I learned that Suffering
Conducive to Hot Rhyming
Nothing in this World's
An excuse to be held Back
I have never had
Cream in abundance to Green stack
I ain't never had a thing that I Wanted
Cuz Life Hard
Every night it was Rice
And fried chicken and White Lard
No birthday no nice Cards
No gifts and forget Cake
Biggest pleasure of the Day
Was a toilet to sh** Take
Was no pleasure in the Night
As i slept on them cold Floors
Ain't no hinges on the Frame
In the bathroom no Closed Doors
Was no Perk of any Kind
Little brother you got it sweet
I was freezing in the Winter Time
And Summer Swamped in Heat
Verse 3:
If you're lost out there in the World
And Lost Hope
If your parents Addicted to Coke, Meth or Dope
If you ain't got no Love
Ain't got no one to Care for Ya
I want you to Know
That the Beast is right here for Ya
I been in them shoes
Was days there was no Eating
The Super was Gone
The building had no Heating
And i don't say all these things
So you Feel Bad
I don't want your Pity
I don't want n***as to Feel Sad
The reason that i say these Things
Is so simple i want to Guide ya
In your mind plant a Seed
Intercede till it grows inside Ya
I don't care to be Famous
Or even Rich while I'm alive
As long as y'all persevere
Yo my message will still Survive
If you're lost out there
Theres a person that you can Turn to
Who you think i do this for?
Many songs different tracks to Learn to
(Gasp!)
I been in them Shoes
The world ain't nothing Nice
Im your brother Forever
