Aye is the mic on

C'mon man

I woke up this mornin' 

Thinking a lot bout my life and all that 

Thinking bout the goods

And some of the bads u know

So I grab my brother and wrote our life novel

Her it go



[CHORUS:]

This is the chapters

The before and after

The good the bad the pain and disaster

The chapters

Don't want to speak my mind

Bout my hard knocked life in this book of mine 



This is the chapters

The before and after

The good the bad the pain and disaster

The chapters

Don't want to speak my mind

Bout this hard knocked life in this book of mine 



[ROYAL:]

I woke up pops was gone

Young and confused in a broken home

Motel skipping motel living 

Rooms about the size of a hotel kitchen

(Hold on) I been around the block

The year of my life been a round my pops

The years of my life 

I remember nights

Home this with my brother on December nights 

Then mom got sick

Lost her head

A PHD woman with a lost career

6 months to live she could barely walk

All my friend call her dumb for the way she talk

So I thank God she alive today

I sit the night I pray she don't pass away

But that incident 

Grew up in my mind at that time that my heart had innocence 

So this so that

My only cats saying Ro this smoke that 

Life on the room track

At school with the rich

Still broke kicked out of there for the ish that I pitched

Back to the block

I saw drug abuse 

Teenage rape that happened a lot

2006 the time had come we were signed

This is story is chapter 1



(Listen)



[CHORUS:]

This is the chapters

The before and after

The good the bad the pain and disaster

The chapters

Don't want to speak my mind

Bout my hard knocked life in this book of mine 



This is the chapters

Don't want to speak my mind

[LAZE:]

Now we closer to our goal 

But still not quite there

Friends grew up 

Their ma

Still cry in tears

Couple lost dreams

But I knew some way to work

That's as how false it seems

05 came 

The year passed away

My best friend had two on the way

Into abortion that was the best for him

But in the miss I lost respect for him (sawrry dawg)

After that my nigga Jay had a seed

His baby momma refused to take him back

No Job he can't make a stack

Anotha victim of the street corner

He turned to rap

How to walk

Before books of life

Still broke

Living 'round the rich

So I pitched

Went to school but I ditched

Kicked when I was 13

Got a grip (ya happy) (oh well)

Back to the chapters

This is the truth

I'm giving you before and after

From my older brotha hooked on the pipe

My only role model snortin on the white

This man of the household 

I got out so

I was young I was still without dough

Is only right that I rap the truth

So there it go our life that's chapter 2



[CHORUS:]

This is the chapters

The before and after

The good the bad the pain and disaster

The chapters

Don't want to speak my mind

Bout my hard knocked life in this book of mine

So there it go man

The before 

The after

You know all in between

Take out howeva positive you want but negative don't

But we had to give it to ya'll

Oh yea trust me there a lot of more to come

Stay tune
