In this selection, Marcus (Keith Stanfield) raps out his anger at his mother who used to beat him constantly and his fear at leaving the short-term housing facility as an adult.
It don’t matter now, damn near 18
All the pretty pictures in my fucking head is faded
And when I think about that trick that raised me, I think
About sick 'cause the bitch is crazy
Fuck that bitch, nigga, fuck that pain
Your body's in a ditch inside this turned up brain
I mean, I can’t see how you claim it, you being ma ?
Doctors snatched me out the snatch a pair of
Evil eagle claws
Ho, ho, ho, slut, fuck the way you want it
Got your young, dumb son pitching pigeons for money
I mean, it’s colder than the bitch when it’s sunny
Blows raining down on the glow
Got the nerve to tell me you love me ?
I said again, again ? Sell it again?
Bitch I’m ten, let me outside and function with friends
You say you ma ? You mother ?
You the father fucking queen ?
I say, all right, I love her so I flip it again
No, not this time bitch 'cause I’m stronger than you
Not this time bitch, 'cause, swinging harder than you
Nah, not this time bitch, you ain’t leave me a choice
You just a body in a ditch in the brain of a boy
All fucked up now, damn near 18
All the pictures in my past ain’t never fading
I’m always wishing for something amazing, but when your life is shit then
It ain’t no trading
So put me in your books
So you know what it's like
To live a life not knowing
What a normal life's like
Put a label on my head
So you know what it's like
To live a life not knowing
What a normal life's like
Look into my eyes so you know what it’s like
Look into my eyes so you know what it’s like
Look into my eyes so you know what it’s like
To live a life not knowing what a normal life's like
