One Wish

[Intro]
Oh
Uh-huh

[Verse 1]
I grew up in H-town, living life on the blocks
From then, that's when I became unorthodox
I use to tie knots in my socks, filled them with rocks
And I'd swing your jaw if you gave bad looks
Now I haven't changed, still slightly deranged
Still slightly outraged and I feel insane
At the way I contain so much pain like a fiend
Life is real, do you know what I mean?
It's like, ever since the days I was young
Man were bustin' full clips and the run of your tongue
And in my hood, I seen mans get worked
Then that man would come back and say, "That man got murked"
Yeah, I can say that my life's been hard
Six of us lived in a two bedroom yard
So I keep this in mind, full well knowing
I know where I've been, so I know where I'm going

[Chorus]
You don't know where I've been
You don't know what I've been through
So how can you judge me?
You don't know about the life that I got
You don't know what it's like to live in my slot
This world's gone mad and it don't seem right
Every night I pray to God, please turn out the light
That would be my one wish
That would be my one wish
You don't know where I've been
You don't know what I've been through
So how can you judge me?
You don't know about the life that I got
You don't know what it's like to live in my slot
This world's gone mad and it don't seem right
Every night I pray to God, please turn out the light
That would be my one wish

[Verse 2]
I got that H-A-C blood in me, I rep my East Side
I'm that ghetto gully mind chick born in E5
And I've always moved with man ever since I was young
'Cause these girls are too bitchy and their mindset is long
I learned how to move and stay wise on the street
'Cause my older boys showed me how a girl should roll deep
I saw moves get moved, watch man move what they move
To survive out here, you gotta do what you do
Hustling on the corner, shotting work
'Cause when you're grinding, you gotta make shit work
'Cause life is hard and life is real
And man nowadays don't care when they kill
Boys young as sixteen, life taken and gone
And I sit back and sigh, what the fuck is going on? This is wrong
To the families of lost ones, I'm sorry
RIP to baby Jessica and Holly

[Chorus]
You don't know where I've been
You don't know what I've been through
So how can you judge me?
You don't know about the life that I got
You don't know what it's like to live in my slot
This world's gone mad and it don't seem right
Every night I pray to God, please turn out the light
That would be my one wish (That would be my one wish)
You don't know where I've been
You don't know what I've been through
So how can you judge me?
You don't know about the life that I got
You don't know what it's like to live in my slot
This world's gone mad and it don't seem right
Every night I pray to God, please turn out the light
That would be my one wish
That would be my one wish

[Bridge]
They don't know what I'm going through
They don't know what I'm going through
They don't know what I'm going through (You know?)
They don't know what it's like for me or you

[Verse 3]
The hood holds loyalty, the hood holds faith
The hood holds struggle and the hood holds rage
The hood holds haters that wanna grudge me
But I don't watch you, only God here can judge me
So I don't care if you like me or hate me
'Cause lately a lot of heads wanna vibe crazy
But I ain't here to make new friends
Shystie is just here to make a means to the end
So I'ma be the reason why you step up your pace in this race
I'ma take every chick's fanbase
And I'ma be the realest girl in the game
I'ma be the reason people forget your name
'Cause I'm big into this, big bad into this
And I don't care who likes me and who's pissed
'Cause Shystie's here and I'm reppin' it for London
I'm never gonna be a pop MC, you must be dumb, man

[Chorus]
You don't know where I've been
You don't know what I've been through
So how can you judge me?
You don't know about the life that I got
You don't know what it's like to live in my slot
This world's gone mad and it don't seem right
Every night I pray to God, please turn out the light
That would be my one wish (That would be my one wish)
That would be my one wish
You don't know where I've been
You don't know what I've been through
So how can you judge me?
You don't know about the life that I got
You don't know what it's like to live in my slot
This world's gone mad and it don't seem right
Every night I pray to God, please turn out the light
That would be my one wish
That would be my one wish

[Outro]
This is Shystie
Tell me where I've been (You know?)
Oh-oh (Uh), oh-oh
Oh
That would be my one wish
