Moma Never Told Me

[Hook]
Momma never told me there'd be years like this
Momma never told me there'd be tears like this
Oh no, Momma never told me I would get like this
Momma never told me I would live like this
Feels like I'm running out of my mind, running out of my time
But sometimes it feels like I'm running out of my grind
I just think you don't understand where I'm coming from
Where I'm coming from

[Verse 1: Julius]
Aight, aight, aight
I'mma start it right here
If I start it, I'mma start it right here
Go a nigga who in the beginning had a brother who handed him a pen
So he started writing, hear what I'm saying
Understand, you got an idea
A nigga beginning to feel thirsty
It's a part of life but really it's the part that I fear
What if I get too thirsty?
I'mma wanna stop spitting, I mean throat getting too parched
I feel like my road is too dark
On the right road but my road looks too far
Growing up was tough but I was tough
Older brother gave me tough love, nigga tough luck
Better buck up, young buck, be a hustler
Always had plenty of drive but I'm moving like Putt-Putt - too slow
What the fuck's up?
Man this shit getting too much for me
If you wanna be married to this industry
My nigga hold out your ring finger, better put on your suffer-ring
Yo man, I got 2 little sisters
Told me they want to sing, I was too stupid to listen
But, ladies and gentlemen, without any further ado
I'm now introducing my sisters, go

[Hook]

[Verse 2: Kenny]
I remember walking for miles like yesterday
And becoming more stressed with each step I take
Having both fists balled while my chest inflate
My eyes looking like they were hit with some pepper spray
I possess a J to take the stress away
Hoping the [?] can make my expression change
With every breathe I take, trying to suppress the pain
Just for a sec escape from life's mess, I pray
Where I came from, the pizza man can't come
The block where many niggas bang from, the dang slums
I would complain when I was only 3000 days young
Man shoot, I'm sick of being so starved
Man shoot, I'm sick of walking so far
Man shoot, I'm sick of having no car
Sick of living so hard, sleeping in a cold park
Dang man, I'm sick of being piss po'
Dang man, I'm sick of wearing these clothes
Dang man, I'm sick of being this broke
Sick of being this low, sick of being this joke
Asking God to work his magic
I'm just trying to get a piece of the pie, that's it
Cause I ain't got no food in my stomach - bowels empty
A nigga literally never had shit

[Hook]

[Verse 3: Demetrius]
Yo, yo, I been through a whole lot
This time on my hands is killing me, I'm on suicide watch
The Devil's telling me "Do it, why not?"
Lucifer tries to supervise my suicide
But the man in the mirror is telling "You can die not"
Too many individuals depending on you and you finna blow at any moment so don't ruin thy shot
But my God, a nigga broke right now
It make a nigga wanna grab him a Magnum
Because I gotta stop fucking with this broke lifestyle
Make you wanna put it to your dome like blaow
I keep it a hundred percent of a hundred
The rumblings in my stomach to struggling with a woman
Is gonna get me to jump and then plummet off the summit of a cliff
Or get me to run in your crib with a gun in the hip
And get you to get to running your shit
Put one in your wig and then one in your woman
But I don't wanna punish an innocent couple for nothing
So I'mma keep fucking with rap til I'm huffing and puffing
We give the listeners some raw shit
Every month and it didn't even cost shit
But by the time I get in this game, I hope I'm not physically exhausted and lyrically I lost it

[Hook]
