nobody ever said life was gon' be easy
moms died when i was seven
it's hell when you're an orphan at a early age
this impressionable stage
in the heart of a child who never knew his roots
looked up to pimps and to hustlers in the eel-skin boots
parkin caddies on the sidewalk
truckin diamonds and gold
rubberbands around the bankrolls
fly girls to make your head spin
seemed they partied all night long
