[Verse 1]
Since '91 I been a menace, for real
Born rotten and exposed
A rose in a garden full of hoes
A flowerbed of souls
Where the flower never learn
They can go, they can grow, they can
They can be something
I'm a bird, I'm a bird...look at me fronting
Been confused and obtuse, gotta mean something
I don't feel, I don't feel, I mean nothing
Mama looking around, what you gotta say
You propably never gave a f** about me anyway
I know I'm foolish cause I love you with my whole soul
But I keep running so I ain't gotta home, I don't wanna go home
Running from the fire in my brains, in my ozone
Running from the pressure 'til I cave in my own home
You don't understand the obsessions that I got
I need love, I don't feel that sh** a lot, n***a
Been alone from the motherf**ing jump, man
Every battle, every hurdle, every hump, man
b**hes either feel it or they motherf**in dont, man
Time to draw the line and do the motherf**in *snort sound*, man
Man, listen, I don't talk about myself, n***a, oh no
You don't get it, you don't feel it, n***a, oh no
Where I'm from is a nightmare not a smoke show
n***as never make it there, they never make it, oh no, n***a
[Verse 2]
I'm from the generation of the scarred and abused
For real, man
You're either dead or you're dying or you doomed
And what's worse is nobody's got a clue
Of what the f** that I go through in my brain
That there's a f**ing beast of the motherf**ing chain
That I be having dragons in my heart being slain
Til I'm broken and too vulnerable again
Love, nobody ever showed me what it was, my n***a, for real
I've been beggin' since a younging, since a cub my n***a, for real
Saw into your pretty blue soul like the rainbow
My third eye saw your devil and your angel
We tried to love each other from a different angle
Unfortunately we still got strangled
I don't even know if imma make it to the next day
Every day I wake up and I feel like it's my d**h Day
You can see inside me like a motherf**ing X ray
Losing to my demons in a motherf**ing chess game
It's a hard life, I choose to lead, the memories so lucidly
I'm just speaking truthfully, it's hard to breathe, it's hard to breathe, damn
