it's a discription

you was raised off welfare

nursing on focused hope

pops left

young age

mom got her shoulder rope

mom can't do that

mom's drunk off dope

cold water bath

tic tac sized soaps

sis' got pregnant

when she was young

out here trickin' making you watch her son

stolen cable bet stay on the screen

never a dull moment

mom fight with other fiends

the happiest moment when you sleep and you dream

then you wake up to the same old thing

cereal no milk

dishes in the sink

older brother runnin' 'round

gettin' money

wearing mink

won't buy nothin' to eat

always buy drinks

get the whole house drunk

then shit pop off

momma boyfriend trippin' 'bout a dime got lost

mind is lost

smoke a blunt

try to do

seem fit to sell drugs

but you just too soft

hard times at school because your peer is off

too many roaches

might see a mouse

extension cords get power from the neighbor's house

got two pair of jeans

dead air

one's

brother old coke square smoke in your lungs

the man of the house but your momma youngest son

back to the wall

face to the wind

ma's scratch the last of the number but don't win

sister disappearing always leaving her kids

tired of ramen noodles

you can see your ribs

lot of sugar in the kool-aid keep your thirst quenched

cigarettes and weed

make your eyes squint

fridge empty

nothin' in the cabinet but spinach

and you ain't popeye

livin' in a crowded house

space heater keeps you warm

while you sleep on the couch

bridge card every first

keep food in your mouth

unless your mom sell 'em for drugs

and then you know

that month

shit gon' be fucked up

so you go to school

for the free lunch and stuff

but niggas teasing like you some type of punk and stuff

so you got kicked out for punching and stuff

headaches at night

and your stomach is growling

crack smoke in the air and the wolves is howling

eviction notice on the door

niggas sleepin' on the floor

you can't take it no more

just listen you can make it out

just look at what's around you take a different route

if you don't have a dream

how could it come true?

take a look at me

look what i've been through
