Trials & Tribulations

[Verse 1]
Imagine being kicked out and you can't go nowhere
And you only got enough for a few days in the hotel
Nobody won't front you nothin' so you can't even make a dope sale
Next thing you know, a check fuck 'round and come through out of nowhere
Pocket knife in middle school, y'all gon' jump who?
I'm twenty-two in the bushes, y'all gon' slump who?
You don't say excuse me, I'ma swing, you just gon' bump who?
I cheat on her and dump her first, she gon' dump who?
I kept it real from the start, boy I never folded
My music mean a lot, people tell me that I'm chosen
We ain't have money but we had cars, ridin' around rollin'
(But if you was broke how you get a car?)
Shit what you think? we stole it
I know a nigga right now doing life up the road
He would've had lesser time, he chose not to told
That's how we raised, to stick to the code
My cousin say he'll whack his mama, that boy heart cold
I was chillin' on the block at the bus stop
Them boys beat the block and started letting off shots
I started ducking, started running, plus I left the Glock
But Savage always had my back, he started buh-buh

[Chorus]
Mama said son slow down 'cause you fast paced
I can't wait, I need it now 'cause I'm too impatient
I was sleep but now lil Baby Soulja has awakened
I'm 'bout to welcome y'all to my trials and tribulations
Mama said son slow down 'cause you fast paced
I can't wait, I need it now 'cause I'm too impatient
I was sleep but now lil Baby Soulja has awakened
I'm 'bout to welcome y'all to my trials and tribulations

[Verse 2]
Imagine taking them crackers on a chase and getting hit
And the car damn near flipped and land in the ditch
Imagine being on child support for another nigga's jit
And you stuck 'cause you signed the birth certificate
Imagine coming home to damn near everything gone
'Cause a bitch done had the nerve to hit a lick at your home
Two days later you get a call sayin' your dawg gone
They charged my lil brother as an adult, he wasn't even grown
I seen some things that I can't say but it had me shook
Seen my daddy in that casket, I ain't wanna look
My family lied on my mama, I'm like what the fuck?
DCL came to the hive, they tried to get us took
The judge put a warrant out on me 'cause I was not seen
Probation violated, say my piss not clean
My cousin was playing with that pistol, almost shot me
I was sleeping, I woke up to the SWAT team

[Chorus]
Mama said son slow down 'cause you fast paced
I can't wait, I need it now 'cause I'm too impatient
I was sleep but now lil Baby Soulja has awakened
I'm 'bout to welcome y'all to my trials and tribulations
Mama said son slow down 'cause you fast paced
I can't wait, I need it now 'cause I'm too impatient
I was sleep but now lil Baby Soulja has awakened
I'm 'bout to welcome y'all to my trials and tribulations
