lyrics
verse 1
started in the dirt & they ain't even give me soap,
but being rooted in the soil is the best place for growth.
but being trapped in the trap & having to have dealings while reaching a glass ceiling kept chipping off at my hope.
i found love up in a dark place her name just happened to be music,
gave life to the lifeless shining the brightest & truest.
my money wasn't moving the the way it shouldve been moving,
& im so done w/ retail im ready to be a nudist.
...i went from being clueless to a know it all, who didn't know shit but i refused to show a flaw.
..soon as i..got on a roll like a bowling ball,
life would strike back... the gutter would pull me in and console my fall.
had to make alot of split decisions...
realign myself..take better aim & even switch positions.
....consistent wishing drove a brother wild, lotta frowns... couple smiles... this was a recipe for my mothers youngest [trouble child]
mama said, "take it easy in them streets you roam,
if it was up to me i'd keep you home"
verse 2
eating 1 meal a day... that was normal shit,
rude moody dude never had no1 to be formal with.
niggaz try to dap me leave em hanging like a ornament,
my fuse ain't but so long so so long...i don't get along w shit.
...since i was a toddler very ...intrigued by solitary,
got older and studied Machiavelli.
im talking bout tupac and even nas in belly,
you niggaz studied from halle berry & Tyler perry.
bitch niggaz... out here taking advice from akinyele,
i was more of a lunatic...but never jocking nelly.
y'all buy clothes for hoes and put on shows worthy of encores, with expensive bottles of conjour.
...and I don't pop mollys nor rock tom ford,
cuz quite frankly i ain't got the money nor the time for it.
....i embodied a bunch of other styles..lotta frowns..couple smiles,
guess im just my mothers youngest
mama said, "take it easy in them streets you roam,
if it was up to me i'd keep you home"
