A young nigga from the start


Young life really that easy

For a young nigga that thinks everything is easy

Swimming through them pools full of pain

Nobody sees the truth that lay within

Mom locked up before i reached the age of ten

Daddy dead no father figure

2 brothers gone from a young lil nigga

Month after month a nigga still thinking

Bout that life he was drawn to without even thinking

2 twins both blood ain't had a clue

Between the struggle of that gang life or they own too

One athletic one got the brains

Which one gonna end up dead first flooded by them puddles full of pain

Thinking bout life had a nigga thinking

When was the last time you seen the preacher preaching?

Remember when grandma beat us damn hard

Scars on our back and tools in the yard

Working us to death using that hard labor

As a symbol for hope, truth, and trust for a young teenager

Going up against my own blood just ain't what i'm supposed to do

Fighting here fighting there blood bath in the yard

lights and sirens my future from a far

Handcuffs on my wrist my future in a jar

All bottled up and thrown way far beyond

But my faith my heart and my turst is what i lost

So fuck ya'll niggas who thought i couldn't do better than my best

Ya'll the niggas who lost

yea i lost everything sitting on this street

Clothles on my back and shoes on my feet

All my decisions i made gonna come back against me

I guess thats what happens when a young nigga came from the start
