Lyrics
verse 1
-I grew up thinkin' if you a man you couldn't cry
-we're supposed to be a symbol of strength I don't know why
-but it sounds kinda strange man look in my eyes
-you say I can't express pain when my peoples die?
-sometimes I feel like dying yo this life is a bitch
-I'm on the hunt for better days and I'd like to get rich
-trying to find some better ways there's gotta be more than this
-you think it's fun and games I'm trying to get serious
-I seen death at an early age and it changed my thoughts
-I tried to put myself in a grave 'cause it got so hard
-no dad to run and turn to to play catch in the park
-hung around them knuckleheads playin' craps in the park
-cracked my heart and let the innocence spill
-and in a sense it took my youth I need pills
-when a grown man cries think of what you would do
-when someone close to you dies right in front of you
verse 2:
-it seems it never fails streetlife decreases the mind
-no peace of mind when you're living in hell
-convicted of life's crimes confined in this jail
-we call Earth but it's 10 times worse than prison cells
-it's the weight of the world I tried to build my home
-but I chose the wrong plan now I'm out of my zone
-shackle my legs and I can't stand this ache in my dome
-it's gritty like sand flowin' thru my hands and twice
-as rough as tight cuffs locked in this land
-no help from my fam only mom's took the stand
-I strive so hard for optimism but it's me against the system
-too old to chase wishes but young enough to obtain wisdom
-suicide keeps callin' my cell collect calls
-but I don't accept the charges won't fall I stand tall
-and you wonder why a grown man cries
-you ask how?.........I'll lend you my eyes
verse3:
-I'd be a damn liar if I said my life was easy
-3 jail bids back to back to back it's crazy
-I'm on the run from evil my thoughts remain medievil
-I'm a get you before you get me that's how I breeze
-thru life ignorin' red lights fuck consequences
-too damn stressed to give a fuck about their lessons
-so much shit I had to go thru fendin' for myself
-value friendship to the point sometimes forget about delf
-pain 'til an early grave I can't do shit right
-everybody's on my ass like a constant fist fight
-I'm stuck between a rope and a knife no tears left
-sentenced to either life or death with the right
-to argue for less yo I need some advice
-and god you shitted on me meet me in hell with a knife
-or a gun fuck it we'll go at it with swords
-that's how I look at things... fuck the world
