Troy K. - Robert lyrics

[Intro] [Verse 1: Internal Definition] In the beginning, Robert modeled a great kid Attended school daily and his best is what he did He wasn't perfect but he always tried his hardest Mostly in his music, because he wanted to be an artist He loved hip-hop and wanted to rhyme the hardest Freestyles or written, he was down to rhyme regardless And people started to noticed Robert wearing bigger clothes Acting like tall tees were the only style he owned His parents were with it, figured it was simply just a phase Robert started writing with his hopes of radio play But his life was too nice for the rap music they played He never lived in the hood, he needed something to change Then he figured out the only way that he could seem real If he was someone's connect, so Robert started to deal Now Robert spends sleepless nights out workin these streets And no one had a clue Robert really wasn't asleep [Hook] Now Robert's out here workin this block Thinkin he's a G because now he's got guap Selling all his weed and know he wants rocks Never realizing the problems these streets got Dodging police, trying not to get caught Hiding all his grams up in a tube sock Twenty-Four Seven Robert settin up shop Never realizing the problems these streets got [Vers2: Internal Definition] Now Robert's known, for these secretes that he held Rumors started up about the d** in which he dealt Wishing I could say there was a reason why he felt That drug dealing was the best option that he's dealt Gun under his belt, in case they tried to rob him His homies got word and they wanted to go and stop him But Robert's hard headed, he's a fein for the grind His homies said it's a crime, but he's willing to do the time His raps are falling off cuz he's makin the time to deal He's losing all of his friends like it's no big deal And he says he keeps it real, but inside Robert's struggling Parent's see a change and Robert he keeps them wondering What happened to that young boy that they once had Traded his whole life from some bricks and some dime bags Still Roberts spends sleepless nights out working these streets His parent's realizing he really wasn't asleep [Hook] Now Robert's out here workin this block Dude came from behind and Robert got shocked Thought he wanted money that's in his tube socks Finally realizing the problems these streets got Robert pops back and now this dude's shot Thought he had a knife, he just wanted some rocks Gotta dump the body, tryin not to get caught Now he's realizing the problems these streets got [Verse 3: Internal Definition] Oh sh**, now what's Robert gonna do Should he go and just dump the body or go and confess the truth He thinks he's so stupid, why'd I act so fast I could've pulled out my gat and just pretended to react But what's done is done and Robert's stuck with his decision What is Robert to do, he's too scared to go to prison How will he tell his parents, they'll see it in his appearance He knows they'll see through him like he has transparents And to make matters worse, the dude that Robert just shot Family's gang affiliated, who's coming ready or not Robert still deciding whether or not to tell his father But his father seems distant, why should he even bother He wonders how he could ever be a good father After dumping the body of the man he just slaughtered He shuts down his mind, gets ready to go to sleep The victims family members are rolling down Robert's street [Hook 3] I wonder what Robert's dreaming about When windows rolled down and machine guns out Bullets started flying all through his house Scared by the bullet that ended his mother's shout Robert got up after bullets had stopped Both his mom and dad were laying there shot Robert took the Glock to his temple and shot Now he realizes the problems these streets got [Outro]
