I remember February 2013, warm winter that year blood on my jeans
Sleeping outside part time no heat with a torn up shirt and an internal bleed
All I could afford was a quarter cheese, I lost the war now I'm forced to see
The glory of the street was a story that I leased but I never fucking owned it and my hustle was so weak
That I've gotta get a load on when I wake up in the monrnin' and I dream of getting sober but it's just a fucking dream, Oh My
I'll take what I've got, jail everyday I'm on suicide watch
They keep me naked in basements surrounded by cops in my straight-jacket floss
Oh no no, and the story don't stop, Nope
What you know about my life, What you know about me?
Highlights on the timeline, and what I want you to see
What you know about my life, what you wanna know?
Twenty Twenty in my hindsight, I'll keep it one hundred just ask and I'll show
Now I look at my girl and its like we both know, this rhetoric no longer holds
This Rome that we thought we had built was Aleppo and now we just watch it explode
Or maybe it slipped away slow, and neither one noticed the growth
The mold and this rust that corrupted this love and turned us into something we loathe
Or maybe I'll follow the steps of my father, I mean my mamma he chased and he got her
Forty years later they're stuck in this drama, they talk in resentments and that shit gets vented like rockets at Gaza
And that's what they taught to their son and their daughter but I swear to God I will not be their product...
And fuck what they taught us
What you know about my life, What you know about me?
Highlights on the timeline, and what I want you to see
What you know about my life, what you wanna know?
Twenty Twenty in my hindsight, I'll keep it one hundred just ask and I'll show
Look at me now, I did 180 and turned it around
Look at me now, beautiful lady and nice little house
Look at me now, yeah I did 180 and turned it around
What you know about my life, What you know about me?
Highlights on the timeline, and what I want you to see
What you know about my life, what you wanna know?
Twenty Twenty in my hindsight, I'll keep it one hundred just ask and I'll show
