Wasted a lot of time doin' a bunch of nothin'
Hangin' out with the same crowd that amounted to nothin'
I sold dope, yeah I poisoned my brothers
At that time I probably would've sold to my own mother
I was young, dumb, and stupid, I sold to another
Undercover narcotic agent ready to smother
Cold nights behind bars made the times get harder
Now I can see myself being more and more like my father
I was young, I didn't give a fuck about what they taught us
That thought never entered my mind until they caught us
I'm eatin' this nasty jail food instead of McDonald's
Hit the streets but it wasn't free, I had to piss in a bottle
Cigarettes instead of weed, it's really startin' to bother
Tried a 9 to 5, but for felons it's harder
With no experience, I'd rather get it in at The Carter
Guess everything I'm goin' through now is my own karma
I'm not the person I should be
Nothin' like the person I know I could be
If not for my ways I know I would be
I'm so driven to make it, I want more
I'm not the person I should be
Nothin' like the person I know I could be
If not for my ways I know I would be
I'm so driven to make it, I want more
Tryna figure it all out, my lifestyle's crazy
Could never understand why I am what the world made me
Taught me everything I know, but point the finger and blame me
Call me the street pharmacist, a walkin' drug store
Killin' myself off like a Blood and Crip war
My best friend's parents like, "What you hangin' with him for?
He's a thug, he's a hoodlum, killers probably wanna get him
Keep his ass away from the house, he'll take you down with him"
He said, "That's my best friend, Mom, we're just chillin'"
She said, "I don't want that boy corruptin' my children
Now send that nigga back in the streets, come eat your dinner
And this the last time I ever wanna see you hangin' with him"
"It's good, fam," no need to explain, I heard her
I only seen my folks two more times 'fore he was murdered
His mama was quick to judge me, she just didn't see
That her son lost his life to a crowd worser than me
I'm not the person I should be
Nothin' like the person I know I could be
If not for my ways I know I would be
I'm so driven to make it, I want more
I'm not the person I should be
Nothin' like the person I know I could be
If not for my ways I know I would be
I'm so driven to make it, I want more
