Gotta start teaching the children that they can be just what they want to be, there's much more to life than poverty.

What doesn't kill me just makes me stronger

I remember crying all the time. My major thing growing up was I couldn't fit in. Because I was from everywhere, I didn't have no buddies that I grew up with...Every time I had to go to a new apartment, I had to reinvent myself, myself. People think just because you born in the ghetto you gonna fit in. A little twist in your life and you don't fit in no matter what. If they push you out of the hood and the White people's world, that's criminal...Hell, I felt like my could be destroyed at any moment.

And everyday I read the paper, there's another lie. They show my picture for the crimes of another guy.

If I could patent 'being real', I think I could own that.

I set goals, take control, drink out my own bottle, I make mistakes but learn from every one, And when it's said and done, I bet this brother be a better one, If I upset you don't stress, Never forget, that God isn't finished with me yet

Dear mama, yo baby boys doing fine tell the homies I'm in heaven and they aint got hoods.
