Difference

Growing up wanting to be an astronaut

Yeah that's the dream of the average guy

But I was different that's because of God

Spread my wings so that I can fly

On the path to higher places

Running like I'm in the races

I was never catching cases

I flipped them numbers that was basic

Chased green numbers I'm in the matrix

Keep getting so close to winning I could taste it yeah

And that's what kept us separated

I was getting all the money younger cats were hating

They wanna see me fall on my downfall they waiting

My dad ain't keep me in the house he was being patient

Waiting on me to grow up

Had to put the toys up

Taught me how to ride bikes yeah I threw the wheel up

Next we in this big truck

Had to take a step up

We was kings in the city man no one could touch us

Nah then one night that all changed

Walked in the house hear the phone ring

Said my dad went down the same lane

In the back of the car man he shackled in chains

And from that day nothing was the same

Still feel it in my heart still feel the pain

Still feel the pain still feel it in my heart

Nothing was the same

But thank God we made bail

Later on that night we got my dad up out of there

So he can say he never spent a night in jail

And as a man I sat back and watched him fail

And get back up on his feet yeah he doing well

Was there hard times yeah I couldn't tell

He showed me right from wrong that was his preference

I was raised to be good yeah that was the difference
