Jerome Smith - Brightseat Road Untold Stories Vol. 1 lyrics

[Verse 1] At the age of 8, he grew up in a big house Grew up with mommy and daddy happy in the same house At the age of 9, he grew up with a silver fork Monthly trips up to New York Spoiled everytime he made a sound Nothing but money and wealth all around His parents got him a brand new car on his birthday Did he really earn it or was it a giveaway Reality and Actuality It is what it is, that just how it be He got all As, thay dont mean he understood the knowledge He knew since he was young he was goin to college College cla**es at, 16 Everything ain't what it seem Had to apply to schools everywhere So much stress, in the atmosphere Parents keep stressing him Stressing him Playing the hand, he was dealt, like it was the hand he wanted Got everything so he want so might as well flaunt it [Chorus] We both grew up on different sides of the city I grew up fast, you grew up with having money Ain't it funny, Ain't it funny Only 15 miles apart got so many untold stories We both grew up on different sides of the city I grew up fast, you grew up with having money Ain't it funny, Ain't it funny Only 15 miles apart got so many untold stories [Verse 2] At the age of 8 I seen my first 8 ball Saw a roach on the floor, heard a rat in the wall At the age of 9 I seen my first 9 Around the same time I wrote my first rhyme If a tree fall in a forest, does it make a sound How could my mother ever know, when she never around Wearing suits are a**ociated with funerals and court dates Damn that was my f**in' cla**mate Reality and Actuality It is what it is, that just how it be Street Smart with book knowledge I knew more people dead or in prison than going to college Never thought that I would live past, 16 Dead or in jail, or somewhere in between Tried to apply to jobs everywhere I'm not America's Worst Nightmare Why these stores not f**in' with me No opportunity Playing the hand I was dealt like it was the hand I wanted Want what I need, I dont wanna flaunt it [Chorus] We both grew up on different sides of the city I grew up fast, you grew up with having money Ain't it funny, Ain't it funny Only 15 miles apart got so many untold stories We both grew up on different sides of the city I grew up fast, you grew up with having money Ain't it funny, Ain't it funny Only 15 miles apart got so many untold stories
