was 19, hunger deep in my bones,
Heart cold, runnin’ wild, I ain’t never had a home.
Ten cribs in a night, masked up, move alone,
Takin’ what I wanted, pain turned me to stone.
Didn’t think twice, just a shadow in the dark,
Tryna feed the fire that I had inside my heart.
Street life fast, had me playin’ every card,
Didn’t care who hurt, I was huntin’ like a shark.
(They ain’t see the struggle, just the sins I commit,
But when you broke and forgotten, you don’t care who you hit.)
No sleep, just schemes, I was livin’ on the edge,
Karma on my trail, had that pistol by the bed.
(Hook)
45 to life, they tried to cage my soul,
Nine felonies hangin’, I was losin’ control.
Beat the case, walked out, but my name was dead,
Now they look at me like I’m the evil in they head.
I ain’t proud of the path, but it made me real,
When you walk through the fire, only scars you feel.
Judge me if you want, but just know the fight,
I survived the system and made it through the night.
