[Intro: Lil Crazed]
Yeah, man
When I was younger, I was so confused
I didn’t know if I wanted to be that guy or this guy or, or what guy
But after a while, I finally found the right directions to take
And now I’m here
[Verse 1: Lil Crazed]
I remember as a teen, I was blinded by the green
And the name branded things, materialistic
Confused kid, clothes too big, made me a misfit
Rebelled against the rules, I was very conflicted
Barely a distance between wrong and right to me
Whatever I did wrong was all right to me
Wanted to be the center of attention
Smoking cigarettes and also entered in detention
Thought to myself that now I'm cool
And transferred to public class from my private school
I continuously disappointed my family
All the way to the point that my mom and dad couldn't handle me
Broke a few laws that added to my record
And spent a couple nights in the juvenile center
When my mom picked me up and I saw that tear
I began to question all my ways that got me there
[Chorus: DJ Sin]
Yeah, so I stay on my roll
I’m the only proud I’ll ever know
I see my direction
I’ve found myself
[Verse 2: Lil Crazed]
At 17, caught a case and got convicted
A felon, questioning self like why I ever did it
Got in this predicament, education escaped my vision
And instead of school, I had to figure out the legal system
Took the bargain, so they dropped a couple charges
But regardless, it didn't blind my father's disappointment
How could it be
That I single-handedly crumbled the dreams of my family about a college degree
I was supposed to be the first to get it, I was committed
Then got into this trouble with the crime that I committed
Wondering if it was worth the reason that I did it
All because I wanted to avenge the worth of my new Honda Civic
Ha, and the window that was smashed
But looking back at all the facts
It wasn't just the windshield that happened to get shattered
But also a dream that my parents were after
[Chorus: DJ Sin]
Yeah, so I stay on my roll
I’m the only proud I’ll ever know
I see my direction
I’ve found myself
[Verse 3: Lil Crazed]
A lot of things changed, the following year
Like my beverages of choice included alcohol and beer
Now an adult without a future any more
The moment I threw that punch, I threw it out the door
Then the girl that I was seeing started gaining some weight
But it wasn't ‘cause her diet, her period was late
No job, no school, as if that wasn't enough
The test came back positive, but that was a plus
Because I moved down south with her and my folks
And got a couple of jobs as well as their support
Then came back up and then my first son was born
The future now here, dwell the past no more
Then baby number 2 came, things are getting clear
Continued to steer on the path of my career
And after some bumps, found my way to take
Now my fans are like family, most of them relate
[Chorus: DJ Sin]
Yeah, so I stay on my roll
I’m the only proud I’ll ever know
I see my direction
I’ve found myself
[Outro: DJ Sin]
I’ve found myself
I’ve found myself
I’ve found myself
I’ve found myself
I’ve found myself
I’ve found myself
