[Hook]
We all got problems
But nobody's tryna' solve em
f** em, don't call em
Let them dial this time there fallen
Cuz its my time to shine let em die
I don't give a f** imma reach the sky
[Verse 1]
Chillin' on the corner of east Amelia avenue
The drug dealers slinging crack like its something new
But it's been here forever you can see the residue
Caught my f**ing brother now hes selling for revenue
In a f**in' place where crime is on cloud nine
The bums'll try to jack you f** a sign
Say hello to the heat, that's everyday repeat
Watch where you walk or you'll burn your feet
And i ain't talking about concrete
I'm talking about runnin' this crazy street
My only friends want me sell and join they're sh**
sh**, i told em no way i'm out, f** that sh**
Gotta move and keep it right
I'm looking for a b**h i got an appetite
And if that doesn't work f** it i'll write
Spill my emotions all over the page
At the end of the day i really wanna make it on stage
I wanna feel the clouds and taste success
On the bed with my chick i caress
You know shes hot as f**, so i made a mess
[Hook]
[Verse 2]
Hearing voices and seeing shadows in my backyard
Losing sleep out of fear it's all getting hard
And yet people ask me why i'm so nice, cuz i got heart
While these crazy motha f**as need a bodyguard gettin' scarred f**in' up the boulevard with no regard
My homie got his chick pregnant come on he's only 12
7th grade must of been a hard year we all delve
Graffiti all over they bustin' shots
Claimin' spots, who knows they're plots
Fights in the school everyday
There's no way i'm gonna stay
Anyway my neighbor died yesterday
Ran from the police i had nothing to say
Sweating out my mind its not my time to obey
My only real objective is to hit the radio airway
I dream they blast my record and ask me to play
But no, so now i just wanna fly away
I'm so close to my goal its like i can reach it
Tryna' do what right but i'm not gonna preach it
