2nd Chance

I know I hustle as a kid
Please don't judge me
For the these I did
Please forgive me
I was wrong
I know I hustle as a kid
Please don't judge me
For the these I did
Please forgive me
For back then

I was wrong
Dead wrong
Mama and dad
You was strong
Late night
I was hitting licks
I was gone
2 or 3
Different phones
I thought I was grown
I took ya'll through a storm
Specially when the people
Kick the door down in your home
At school I didn't do
What I suppose to do
Selling pills weed and len
I just wanted
A pocket full of money
Fresh pair of jordans
Plus I like to smell good
And dress clean
Hustling was too easy
It became a rotuine
Dope fens
Was a lot people I know
I was getting it for the low
On the corner
From my aunty mrs dorthy store
Didn't realize the hurt
I did to the community
The devil had me gone using
Fast living
Cars and jewelry
Now I give back
Mostly people I hurt was black
Forgive me for all these
Horrendous acts
I know I can never ever pay it back

The game
Has change
We respect the code
Now they give names
God had me covered with
The blood in jesus name
I was living reckless
But we gave old folks respect
Even doe we hustle
And sold dope
Now days
I wish I didn't do it
But I can't change the past
I went clean
And realized
The American dream
Too many black teens
Dieing fast from gun violence wilden
Tears fallen
Nobody smilling
Thats why I give game to youngsters
Try to raise future
Kings and queens
Not monsters
The penitentiary is a jungle
Or be 6 feet under
I hope they hear me
Back then
You couldn't tell me nothing
Forgive for all my wrongs
If ya can't
I understand
But I gota move on
One day
I can teach my son
Right from wrong
Not to sell dope
Or pack gun
I hate to see
What the future might become
