Green Paper

[Intro]
It's up Ray & AR

[Verse]
Yeah, uh, they say you actin' up in school and you don't fuck with others
I mean, how could you be the same when you done lost your mother?
And you know you the only child so you ain't got no brothers
No one to talk to, no one to show you that they love you
I mean, you got your dad, but he don't like to carry weight
And now he locked up, facin' years, because he carried weight
Too many negative things at play, you wanna feel okay
Just something gotta give, feel like no more you can take
I seen the look on your face, nigga, you was down and out
Lookin' for any and everything to make it out the South
Stayin' with granny, all the nights in Mechanicsville will never heal
Pain you feel from bein' alone
Shit, what's right and what's wrong? You was never taught it
Morals, you never lost it
Holdin' your self esteem, chasin' dreams and prayin' you caught it
Knew when something has your attention, and that was often
Wish I coulda helped, I had problems and they was walkin'
Could tell the difference every time you face eviction
Could see you tired of repetition
Imagine never livin' stable 'cause the jobs don't really pay you
Nothing help, not even prayer, this that green paper
