Story behind the song
just listen for yourself
Lyrics
I know its not over
I'm trying to stay sober
girl you know that a soldier
carries the weight of the world on his shoulders
I will not be a one hit wonder
class nocturnal i get no sun burn
just like a turtle i hide inside my shell
a selfish helpless kid inside a cell
I'd sell an arm and leg
to know no harm to my moms
I'm honored to say
the way i was raised
it payed and placed me
as the classy man i am today
It just goes to show
not every kid needs a silver spoon to grow
soon burnt up spoon's
from cooked up blow
better look a little closer
at your picture perfect poster
you parents are slow
is anyone aware
many son's don't care
compare life to death like they ant scared
stare in the mirror
enough off the tears
it tough over the years to face your fears
middle class no soul to sell
only the legal rights for a story to tell
cold and alone in a lonely cell
hell on earth i feel down the well
well i might as well tell it all
how my legs gave out and i had to crawl
buckle from underneath and i started to fall
i hit rock bottom from alcohol
if you could rewind me you find me
searching for my pops
looking for approval
some peaceful props
but i got wasted with wasted plots
cops wanna give me
a penny for my thoughts
no false accusation
I'm guilty as charged
it was my fault i was locked behind bars
aggravated assault
but believe me sweetie i meant no harm
you can try to be in another mans boots
you can cut the tree
but you cant change the roots
its not who you are
but who you know
you can have balance
but your talents wont show
and since I'm an underground artist
who started from nothing
its gonna be the hardest
but i cant be so modest
I know I'm sick
hip hops legit
no copy written counter-fit
you can count on it
I'm broke no money
no joke you dummies
wont get nothing from me
cause i don't front
middle class MC
ill be the master of ceremonies
this source is free
i just want you to listen so i charge no fee
let me rehearse my rhymes
and recharge my battery
i battle for peace
