Life


Nothing to lose trying to gain everything Can you blame me Learning the motions of life by myself Seeing things but im too young Told the truth didnt bite my tongue Always been my own, had to stand strong Motherless child, we were both children Cant help me now mama I remember Born in a blizzard, cold baby like December Born in february but I dont know love See mama was in high school Daddy was a dealer In and out of jail he a rolling stone In and out Highs and lows Never knew true happiness just shoes and clothes God help me Hard headed, motherless child Passed on, throwed around Been down so much whats the sky from the ground Cant tell the silence from the sound Pick myself up off the ground Im down again Hospital room I was sure this was my tomb Woke up from death inside my room I shouldnt have went but I did Now consequences are what Im with Im handling it I swear I am Family supposed to look out for me man damn Got me fending for myself Pill bottles and ice bags Trying to think it gets better from here Cant find a lawyer what now Trying to find the answer I found hope Remember my courage, writing my fate When I die remember the date Made nothing out of something What I had was nothing but something to me Little Lou in college and got something to be
