you know its sad livin on the street, tryin to fend for ya self,

to defend ya self,

you might be down but you not out,

i know, ive been there, done that,

gotta believe in ya self dont think twice, 'bout puttin that gun down and blowing ya head off good and nice, you can do it if you try, you can reach tha sky, touch it, fell it, make ya self at home. 



Now im in the riches i dont take it fa granted, if i see a man in the streent i give him somet'n ya knowa couple a cents yeah it can make a difference, i know, been there, done that.



now i got homies to rely on ya know it hasnt always been that easy, tryin to to live on the streets, nights can get sleazy, tried to kill my self, did no good, i just cried and preyed to the god damn hood!i know that s***, been there, done that.



from rags to riches yeah simple as dat, if my poppa could see me me now, oh how he would laugh, he used to live on the streets too, sadly, been there, done that.



i used to steal, lie, cheat, but now im past that and back on my feet, i can help some otha fools who have like me, been there done that.
