My mistake

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.
