Saving Face

Shit, I had to grow up a lot
All the chances I lost
All the things I missed out on as being a kid
Had to fend for myself
Ain't nobody can tell - me I'm wrong for doing anything that I did
Some just can't understand
Had to do what I can
And there's just no point in explaining this shit
All this money ain't clean
When you seen what I seen
You just grateful to have anything that you get

[hook]
I wanna make a change
Give a voice to the ones that they forgot
But I can't stay away
From this life that got me all this guap
I guess I'm saving face
Holding on to anything I got
So I just pray and pray
Pray that I can get out of this spot

I'm just praying for the days where I can find the strength to stop
That I can buy my moms a crib, and that I make it to the top
That I can keep on all the lights and where thе shower comes out hot
Wherе I can take away the pain, but there's some things that can't be bought

I'm just praying that my sister finds the strength to love herself
Get out the hole she dug so deep, sometimes it feel like she in hell
She took the pills to try and fix it, make it feel like it ain't real
And got caught up in all that trouble, so I bought myself a steel

When I pop it I don't look back, I just hit him and I run
Shit, he done got what he deserve, I don't feel a thing I just feel numb
Don't say a thing bout how I got it if you ain't been right where I'm from
Another day another dollar, gotta get myself the funds

[hook]
I wanna make a change
Give a voice to the ones that they forgot
But I can't stay away
From this life that got me all this guap
I guess I'm saving face
Holding on to anything I got
So I just pray and pray
Pray that I can get out of this spot

I'm just praying for the days where I can find the strength to stop
That I can buy my moms a crib, and that I make it to the top
That I can keep on all the lights and where the shower comes out hot
Where I can take away the pain, but there's some things that can't be bought
