I ain't nothing but a young individual
Came out life's critical
Survival of hood and court municipals
They thought I was pitiful,
He can adapt to a mount, but he know crack
And he could come push back up there's a drought
I wish that was the old me
My brother gone and I gotta play my role, see?
Hearing my daughter stand hold me
Nigga man reflect on what you owe me
Scrap pieces, cockroaches and crumbs
What do I do to get my people out these slums?
A box of thumgs
Can't stop a heart burning heart ache
When a 12 year old boy done lost faith
Damn, and at this cost and this rate
I'm ready for whatever come my way
Some young men would run away
But I dodge cops I'm sippin one new day

Know what is like, when you're hungry on the streets
And you snatch up mice cheese
So you and yours could eat
I could relate, what I did
I don't love or I hate
Just happy that my people straight
Know what is like
I mean, I know what is like
Yeah, I know what is like
I got some real people with me
Do you know what is like
Know what is like
I'm something of an outsider
A survivor, provider
A responsible with a dollar
Yeah, and you won't hear me holler or complain
Or travel in this road again
No shame, I'm doing what I gotta
It was times didn't wanna be here if I ain't gotta
Remember bo pole tryina plant on me some product
Just one sits you, I never thought I'd get a part of
Beat the charge, went back to the strip
To all figure how to mix some lean with chips
My auntie bringin on my young black soul
Questionin what happened to a young black soul
It's a cabalist inside, and I ain't asking you to die with me
But don't knock the hustle, try me
I love to do this rap, but I keep on fallin on my back
And these junkies keep askin me wher it's at
