I ain't form the hood
I ain't from the projects
I come from a place where healthcare's an option
Where you make a future for yourself before it's even started
Oh mama I wanna be a pilot
I wanna be a nurse
I wanna make a difference to break us from the curse
Of our generation
Hold up
But society will tell you you a fuck up
That it will never work out
That's all you'll ever be
Best forget your dreams
It's all a fantasy anyway
But who's gonna take control of your mind
You let it loose into a strangers grip
What a time we live in
But who's gonna save your soul this last time
You let it loose into a strangers grip
Oh my
Yeah you gon' fuck up
Yeah you gon' trip
But so did your daddy and he got over it
So leave it all to karma
Eliminate your trauma quick
In the grip of a hypocrite mind
No privilege of the innocent life
Mine stripped at a mere young five nigga
Can't lie nigga won't lie nigga
I was
Molested, neglected
Development arrested
Ego, contested
Phobic, erected
Toxic, tested
Reflected, correct it
Find yourself in the message
Resistance, deflect it
Battles won no one else
I'm my best friend and biggest enemy
I got the gift to be self aware
But self destruction is a tendency
And I was made to be responsible
Or suffer hell through my regrets
That decision never seemed optimal
My life path straight through committed steps
Bet I never fold when the goal is big
Dreams too large they disrespect
Can't conceive my energy
I'm tuning out while they disconnect
Loves real but the dollars big and desires strong it ain't hard to get
Peep the picture, fuck the scripture
I seek mine with unique intent
Gut suspension, heart redemption
No sleep nights with a mind that's bent
Dream my life into existence
Speak my truth I manifest
Yeah you gon' fuck up
Yeah you gon' trip
But so did your daddy and he got over it
So leave it all to karma
Eliminate your trauma quick
