My mission is primitive
I need to make dividends
By age 6 happiness fell to oblivion
Got a baby brother upbringing about as rough as mine
Tryna save his future so I'm monstrous when I'm spitting lines
Half cracker, half something else I never learned about
Born and raised a Californian nurtured so I wouldn't pout
Even in the face of poverty keep on moving
Lies and hate bred me so I felt nonhuman
Always tried to stay silent and get away
But when the whole house is just one room you can't escape
Zero times of happiness, it's a dilemma ain't it?
9 years a walking tremor but he never fainted
Just shook, terrified of even being alive
Everyone was venom made it hard to survive
Pick your poison, well that led to me growing up quick
Junior high raising Nick since my mom felt sick
Everything was my fault, I could do no right
Stuck inside a room full of yelling every night
One day I got out, but I broke my moms heart
Just to save myself, I had torn it apart
But if I didn't things would be so different
Id probably be on the streets by myself smoking spliffs and
Tryna slang whatever I could get my palms on
Tryna get more money than a f**ing rom-com
Romulus because id betray anyone for cream its tragic
Lucky I made out so that sh** didn't happen
But still hate filled wanted everyone in sight dead
Take anyone's face, imagine it wet with bright red
Started listening to rap as a joke, thought it was dumb
Then tried to mimic them and realized that it was fun
Got into the thick of it started penning my own bars
Now I appear to you as the scar among the stars
