If I said I had a story bout someone I know
Would you ask me how it go
Said his mama was worried bout where he would go
She was scared what he would sow
Time to time he would weep bout his problems at home
But he never let it show
Hit the streets tryna make up a plot of his own
He was scarred and couldn't grow
Different situations we all be facing
Steady dodging accusations
The feds be tracing
It be hard to find the patience when people snaking
Say a prayer to slow my mind when it get to racing
Can't trust nobody they too fake
Been searching for somebody I can put my faith in
But everybody wanna take
Don't let em in your house I bet you they gonna break in
Tryna flood my wrist just like a lake
I'm tryna make up for the time that I been wasting
Lil cousin caught another case
A lotta hurt been on my mind I need some space
Mama told me go to school and be somebody
Broke your heart so many times I'm so so sorry
I fell for too many girls that went and scarred me
I pray every day just so the Lord he'll guard me
Lotta friends turned to acquaintances
I got a few temptations that I can't resist
I follow God I can't grant Satan's wish
I've sinned too long I don't deserve his graciousness
I just be going through my days
Not worried bout nobody
Unless they getting in my way
I ain't have nobody I was goin thru a phase
They used to overlook me now they wanna give me praise
They used to laugh right in my face
They see me going up now I'm the one they wanna chase
Auntie was steady kicking Ocho out his place
Ma said set an example
She ain't know I set the pace
Cuz I was living wrong so long
I started my putting my frustration in these songs
I'm tryna make myself remembered when I'm gone
Soaring thru the heavens at the break of dawn
Mama told me go to school and be somebody
Broke your heart so many times I'm so so sorry
I fell for too many girls that went and scarred me
I pray every day just so the Lord he'll guard me
Lotta friends turned to acquaintances
I got a few temptations that I can't resist
I follow God I can't grant Satan's wish
I've sinned too long I don't deserve his graciousness
