[Verse 1]
Lets take it back to 93'
Just me and mama at the shelter, she ain't been allowed home in like 4 or 5 weeks?
All because she had me? Fast forward wait I gotta take you back to 96'
I was sittin at the window seal waiting for my pops, said he'd be here 'round 6
Most the time he never showed but you prolly guessed so lemme take you back to 99'
Eviction notice and a famine and that happened way before I even got to turn 9
For a while, couple cans of pеanut butter was the only thing we had up in thе crib
That's because the church donated them but had they not I don't know how we would've lived
Already felt like I was dying as we waited in line up in HRA
Hoping for this thing known as section 8
Never would've guessed it'll play out great
Cause now it's VIP and my whole section late, get the twist
See my stock tend to escalate
Especially when times get desperate, resonate
Need this money like yesterday
Who am I to sleep man the rest can wait
