2AM

It's 2 in the morning
And I'm up writing a verse bout how it used to be
Barefoot
Running up the streets
Mama always told me be in the house before the streets lights on
Sometimes I didn't
So I was met with that heat
I remember sharing a room with my siblings
No privacy
A house of 6
Hated looking over and it's my brother right on side of me
Central air
That shit was kinda rare
Cold winters
Hot summers
But ion wanna take it there
I had friends that did drugs
So I was tempted
A lil weed
Nothing serious
But see the method to my madness
Was the angel dust
Only the strongest soldiers can relate to this
A few clothes, so we stared a bit
Now it's 3 in the morning
So let me reminisce
Now it's 3 in the morning
So let me reminisce

It's like a piece of my life
We always said we was alright
Government funded school lunches
And the stamps came every month like it was white on Rice
I never knew the meaning of privilege
So when I got a little older
The shit I never got as a child
I didn't need it
My life's a journey
I met Trell when I was like 8
Could be earlier
But that's the age I remember dude put food on my plate
A1 since day one
Ain't that what they say
If it applies
That's the realest nigga till this day
I used to pray
And sing satellites
Like Kevin gates
Or turn on sum sexual healing
By Marvin Gaye
Future taught me the meaning of having hoes
And Eazy-E taught me it's FUCK em
It's always more
These hoes ain't never loyal
And I know

My friend group keep on decreasing
And not bcuz of the distance
It's cuz the lord came and claimed them without a witness
It's detrimental to keep a close eye on the ones you call yo niggas
Cuz when it goes down
They be ones that end up missing
I hope you feel me
High school was kinda livid
So when I got to college
And seen women
It was serious
I had my fun and I admit it
But my count is under 10
Can you believe it
I graduated
Got my degree
Now the friends I thought I had look at me different
They say I think I'm better than them
But it's not my business that with the drugs is how you living
They say I think I'm better than them
But it's not my business that with the drugs is how you living

So let me reminisce
So let me reminisce

Sometimes I would pray
And hope everything would be ok
In reality
My life's been a roller coaster of bad days
I'm losing people like it's the last supper
It's cliché
And sometimes I turn on my jam to get crunk
Aye bay bay
They say the good die young
And the rich get rich when they can
And just bcuz you got a gun
Don't make you a man
I'm preaching a little bit
But I'm not pastor
No not the slightest
My brother Shawn told me to rap using my knowledge
So I'm up spitting sum power
I could tell you about my life
But the taste is sour
So instead I take a trip to the liquor store
And get a suicide with an extra shot of ever clear
And sum gummy worms on the side
I'm often told I'm weird for the things I do
But this my life
So you should probably worry about you
I'm always wondering if these hoes will get a clue
That they worth so much more
But now it's storming
And it's 4 in the morning

So let me reminisce
