Øutkast

(Aye, Aye,Aye)
(YAH)
We gon' let them know
'Bout the days of my past
Imma tell a lil story but not too fast
When I was runnin' through the streets
With the and-1s on my feet
Tryna stay away from trouble
So I ain't get beat
Struggle turned to hustle
So I could see another day
Tellin' people that I'm straight
But I ain't OK
Joogin,' finnessin'
Survivin' on Blessins'
Stayed cautious, round the ops
Man, they kept me stressin'
All alone at home
No food, just bones
Pops was out makin' money
So we could go move on on
Livin' in the whip
With the Glock on his hip
Makin' sure I was good
So we ain't get stripped
Tough times,
Called for tough measures
I was only two years old
That's the last that I met her
Coke and drugs
Tried to ruin my life
But pops said fuck that and only did was right
A tale of two men, yet I was still just a boy
Mentally and emotionally, my heart never knew joy
Now, it's my obligation to make this shit real
Imma say it right now
We goin' to the top and it's not off a deal (YEAH)

I don't fuck
With the fakes
My whole life was a big mistake
But I don't give a fuck 'cause I'll fix what I made
Be the best that I can,
'Til the day I can't stand

Murder's not an option
Don't play with a life
You don't really do this
Fuck a gun or a knife

Comin' from nothin' made know who I am
I'm the one you should know will give a helpin' hand

Lemme bring y'all back to when shit got real
Apartment with the roaches
Just bread for my meals
Mattress on cement inna basement full of mold
Bitch was cold as fuck
Shit, I was about 8 years old

Don't ever try and judge when you ain't know shit
Some grew up with a lot
And some barely even lived
But Imma say this right now
It's my time to shine
Not just for me
But for the ones stuck in these times
Unable to live normal
Unable to say that they fine
Livin' day to day
By commitin' all these crimes
It's time to stand up
We need to do better
Help out our people
Bring us all back together (As one)
