Welcome to the city of brotherly love More like welcome to the city of killers and thugs Where prostitutes trade in their body for drugs Welcome to the city where kids don't have a chance Kids aren't kids nomore Naw they're too advanced Lil girls twerkin on the corner like they're grown But you can't blame them its what they see at home Lil boy at the age of 10 swears he's a man cause all his life he's been told " don't cry like a lil ish take it like a man" we live in a society where everything is done for tha gram U must remember everything that happens Is by time and chance So now your lil girl starts doing sexual favors for cash cause she wants that swag and designer bag like her mama has your lil boy has no respect for woman cause he feels he already knows what they're about He see different men layed up wit his mama but not one of them made her a spouse You better pray when they get older that things change That ya lil boy don't get caught up in the street life and sent to a early grave Or that ya daughter don't blame you for the way she was raised coming home crying cause one of these ni×#az gave her aids just something to think about b4 u start your day Oh yea welcome to my city The world is a ghetto and this is where we stay

My family treeMust i tell my history Go down my family tree Make no mistake about it My pop was a o.g. Philadelphia B.M. Unless ya folks ran with them Ya family most likely feared them My pop used to school me Treat ppl with respect But once they disrespect you What they give is what they get B patient when you move Don't move too fast Let a fool talk In due time they will tell on themselves Never fear no one Whether big or small It's more ways to skin a rat Then he instilled in me the rules I try not react to certain things But ppl often act out of spite Wrong move to make It may cost you your life I learned to have patients But once i've had enough N i release all I've been holding in It's like a volcano erupts I dnt like bullies nor ones who can't b trusted Once you've woken up tha beast I wish you tha best of luck ish  |
LifeMy mama always used to tell me when i was young Watch the words you let slip from your tongue You can speak things into existence without being aware You can speak bad upon someone else Then end up dealing with the same situation as theirs Don't wish bad on your neighbor or speak negatively behind their back Usually when ppl talk about you it's a tactic used to distract It's something in them that they don't want to be known So they take the opportunity to hide their flaws unshown I've hurt and I've been hurt I've lived and i learned I've had to walk away from ppl and let some bridges burn |

My thoughtsLately I've been doing alot of soul searching I feel myself changing Vowing not to be the same person The person who cares Because no one gives a f×#k So why should I Show you sympathy when your down on your luck I used to pray for you With hopes you'd come up Shedding tears Of despair wishing you had better luck Or that God would lay hands on you and change your life with a simple touch But you was busy hating on me Tryna line me up Had them ppl waitin on me Had my phone tapped Threw dirt on my name Tried to label me a rat... Where the paperwork at? I had folks turn their backs on me And showed me no love I had people comin up to me in tha streets askin bout buyin drugs... I've heard people saying things only you would know But you still wanna play this game and try to denie what i already know You sat at my table I broke bread with you folk Now a days its hard to tell if they are true friends or foes Only Lord knows |
It is what it isI think the most dangerous kind of liars Are the ones that believes their own ish They're capable of anything They manipulate situations and will have everyone convinced But listen very carefully Over time little details Will change I look at life alot differently once i realized Most people just play games Everybody seems to be on some f×#k ish So i decided f×#k it I'd rather ride solo Then be around these snakes And entertain all the dumb ish People take advantage when they know you got a good heart I call it a gift and a curse you see Because you attract the worst type of folks N×ggaz n ishes can both be thirsty You may not have much But you have a lil more than they have These are the ones that smile in ya face but talk behind ya back Loyalty is just a word So my advice take the time and just observe the people in ya life you call family and friendz If they talk bout ppl that's supposed to be their friendz to you Believe you're the topic of conversation once y... |
Dear MamaDear mama I know its been a long time |I've been going through somethings lately mama |And i really got a lot on my mind |Remember when i was younger And you was preparing me for the world| Well alot of things happened mama that affected your lil girl |Since you left me mama I'm seeing people for who they are |You always told me keep a eye on ya friends| And everyone that comes into ya life don't always have good intentions| So many snake come around acting so sincere |When i know they just wanna get info But they act as if they care| Not just friends mama Its been family too |Your probably up there sayin i told you so I wish i would've listened to you| Maybe its my fault Because since i lost you n dad,| fredo and jamel Kim is all i have|Dealing with the others|Thinking becuz we're blood there would be love| Well I'm tired of trying Giving people my all| I want to see them do good While their part of my down fall| They think i don't know mama| So I'm a let them assume| i ... |
RegretsSometimes in life We all make mistakes |And somethings we can't take back like bad choices that we've made| I've made mistakes and i'm not ashamed to say |Alot of things i regret Like wasting time on folks That wasn't meant to stay |Like not saying all the things i should've said |In fear of hurting someones feelings So instead I played the role as if i didn't know| Because i didn't want to judge anyone cause that pain i already know| Like always saying yes to folks even if they deserved to hear no |These were life lessons Altough they hurt they helped me grow| I regret putting others happiness above my own |Because at the end of the day these are the same folks left me on my own| Now you can all judge me From things that you've heard and swear that you know me| Or you can regret the fact you went off someone elses opinion And never got the chance to know me |
*** emWho can i trust? No one that's who I've been loyal to the wrong ppl including So called family too While they're back biting And throwing dirt on my name ask em who had their backs while everyone else complained I tried to be that listening ear when everyone else was caught up in their own affairs I was the one to take the time to listen When everyone else showed u they didn't care If you ever needed anything who did u call? I guess i'm the biggest joke cause i actually cared for you all I made some bad choices when it came to the females i chose I've had a few good women But I've also came across some hoes Spiteful, greedy itches That proved they wasn't ish No respect for themselves or others but in 2017 i guess that makes you tha ish I'm thankful for the experience cause it showed me who's who Ppl will turn there backs on you because it's the wave and they wanna ride it too I ain't even mad because most of you i could see right thru but i promise one day you'll miss having... |
