King Lil G - Hopeless Boy lyrics

(feat. David Ortiz) [Verse 1:] Yo f** rapping & bragging About the way you ballin' Spray cans in my backpack And I was starvin' In middle school With a trey five-seven revolver My family said I wouldn't make it Now I'm grindin' hard I dedicated this to the kids Growin' up with no father Believe me I know what you goin' through I almost lost it Ever seen a teenage boy Whose feelin' like robbin'? That was me at 14 I was driving through Compton On my way to Inglewood I was thinkin' of nonsense Somebody tagging on the wall So I had to go cross it Muthaf**a I had guns In my mother's closet The day she caught me Tear drops started falling Then she slapped me in the face Looking brokenhearted How the f** do I explain That my hood is stronger Enemies is lookin' for me 2 in the morning Its about the 2 weeks And she still ignores me I'm f**ing up so much As hate That is building towards me She's on the phone with my fam Saying I'm disappointing Saying I'm disappointing Oh man, I'm a disappointment [Hook - David Ortiz & King Lil G:] As I sit all alone with pain I wonder Will I ever see my mother smile? I wonder Will I ever see my mother smile? Am I ever gonna see that day We stop strugglin' Will I ever see my mother smile? Strugglin', yea.. [Verse 2:] Yo, would you like to know Why I was so troublesome? That eviction notice on my door Made me hustle d** I seen my mother crying 1999 My father left us behind My feelings empty inside I try to not miss 'em Me & my older sister Carina please tell 'em Bout that f**ed up Christmas I had to go to school Lying to my friends Pretending I was happy Bout some sh** I didn't get Fake smiles Through the whole winter I was cold wearing old clothes And socks with holes in 'em Gang members I was close with 'em I was just a kid They was asking me To do some coke with 'em I was broke Man I rather sell some dope with 'em Road trips to the border to go get 'em Young & hopeless Trying to get in to show biz Hoping they would give me a chance Nobody noticed [Hook - David Ortiz & King Lil G] [King Lil G:] Oh man, you know what really trips me out is that uh.. People really think I owe them somethin' See I hear people talkin' all the time But its like they don't know the struggle And the sh** we gotta go through To get to where we are right now (but I don't owe them a damn thing) I had to sacrifice so much time, you know Had to put my family trough so much pain Its like everything that I got right now, I owe it to the family Finally my mother can smile now Oh yeah
