It started off at the age 14.

Sitting around sippin lean.

15, straight reckless.

In and out the house, leaving mom breathless.

Age 16, heart straight fearless.

Thought I was a man, but I was beardless.

When I was 17, I stared down the barrel of a 9. 

Life flashed before me and rewinded time.

When I was 18, I seen my moms cry.

Bc I was addicted to the streets, so I left to get high.

19, I started my freshmen year of college.

Mind smoked out, no sense of knowledge.

19 1/2 I lost two of my best friends. 

I kept praying for the day my life would end.

Everywhere I went, strapped and sacked up.

Would never imagine the day I got tapped up.

But it changed me.

It’s the shit that made me.

Age 20, mind still dizzy. 

Left for the Army, to keep myself busy.

Sometimes I just sit around and cry.

Bc six years ago, me changing woulda been a lie.

Based on my past actions, I’ll always be misjudged.

But I promise when gods done with me, everybody that turned their back on me will be smudged.

Out the picture, and I promise I won’t miss ya.
