Hard times to learn from.
                                      Who could pretend to be
                                    A person raised in the gutter
                                      Raised by a single Mother,
                                        Matter fact, Her Mother.
                                      No brother, just to make it
                                    I had to take it to the streets,
                                My Freedom running out of patience
                                      How much time can I eat?
                                              I'm Deciding,
                                  But please know that I'm Trying
                                      To the day I leave my feet,
                                  I'm not a coward because I Pray.
                                  These people in these streets
                                  Always trying to shake My belief.                                               
                                            But I'm a man now
                                        Crack house sleeping
                                        I'm with the Criminals,
                                    The judge thinking maximum,
                                  But I'm praying for the minimum.
                                    Jail is where they sending Him
                                                    Yes
                                    They putting me on punishment
                                          I'm a grown man, Sh*t
                                  How corrupt is their judgment?
                        My future is irrelevant to those who don't love me,
                                        They look in My face
                                      They see so much Hate
                                        They wont help Me.
