[Hook:] From the corners All the streets have fallen I picked upon, and grew a rose I became the wildlife around Earth And the book about her past has surely closed [Verse 1:] No one thought I would make it Violence and paper chasing Supposed to be dead I'm just glad God had his patience Broken relations cause this rose turned into a flower Trained to survive and learned all my surrounding Look at my eyes, the wildlife defines me Everyday is a hustle, so having nothing reminds me Poverty couldn't blind me, fans never mind me Found a gift and grew up, hoping Puff will sign me In time the, boy who turned man, they understand me I didn't win every fight but a n***a never ran me Momma looking at me and smiled bright cause it's over now What's over now? Pyrex and baking soda pots 50 for a rollie watch No more corner, no more tryna hide I get what I want and I can give a real n***a diploma In the streets the real n***a Obama, just took a different role A place that's called that's not far from the corner store The corner [Hook] [Verse 2:] Family hurtin' and I got tired of that sh** So I got off my a** and tried to get rich Boosie got 99 problems and 5 of a b**h Cause I got 5 baby mommas with 5 different personalities Blame for cold casualties, corner talk Stuck in a place where them real n***as walk, the corner But first your love hanging, then slangin' You need love and fear love, you start banging Music game changing, but Boosie ain't changing Features with the stars, but my music still gangsta It's for my n***as on the corners, hoping they get famous With no gunshot wounds and leave pain, please help them lord All the sh** we see, we deserve to get a blessing lord Look at me a G, I make the whole world press record For that lil boy I give him hope To stop selling dope, and put that mic to his mouth And rap, and make it off that corner [Hook]
