Mistakes

You see I changed up my perspective
As adolescent working to perfection
Striving to be the best so fuck seconds
Learning lessons bussing bottles
Filled up wit this beverage
Made me stronger as i'm stretching my memory of recollection
I remember time family figures wasn't present
I reached out to the streets in return they gave me a Desert
Said I can make this money just run a couple errands
I was moving work not knowing before the age of 11
See many people judged me I say that they was jealous
Envy reigned among me and I refused to ever let it
Would dream of making millions billionaire at 37
Neva fond of snitching it was written there is no redemption
Kept my mind focused never switching up direction
Wit cold steel beside me I needed my protection
I turned to rapping writing these lyrics like every second
Turning vocals to documentaries of a legend come on

You are the potter
I'm the clay so mold us
Everyday they preach the gospel to these vultures
It's just the life we live as King Cobra's
The streets turn boys to men
Men into soldiers eh
And we don't ever break for no-one
No No No No
And we don't ever break for no-one
No No No No

Now look I wasn't perfect
Miseducated on purpose
Learned everything on the surface
Where danger was often lurking
A child of the ghetto
Raised to walk wit a bop
I'd always listen and watch
While looking out for these cops hey
I tried to pave a way while drinking all the pains away
Some days i often fade away put this life on lay away
From day to day i would complain
Bout how i'm drained and work restrained
But money makes a man and i guess i was made the prey
Listen a cold winter night I was knocked.
Tryna make a lil bread so we mask up and riding out
I didn't sleep in three days
The reason in my mind just replays as cops ran up on us three ways
I tried to run but cold steel i'm facing
it was a trap they had us cuffed up and we was taken
Hit with three felonies awaiting arraignment
We got that case dismissed
My God is gracious
Aye

You are the potter
I'm the clay so mold us
Everyday they preach the gospel to these vultures
It's just the life we live as King Cobra's
The streets turn boys to men
Men into soldiers eh
And we don't ever break for no-one
No No No No
And we don't ever break for no-one
No No No No

Looking back at my life
Shit I thought id be further than this
If i listened i wouldn't have to be goin through this
No food in da crib
Workin wit scraps perhaps i could change it all
But shit like i said perhaps
Nothing to do with nothing to lose
Fuck it i'm rude
Loosing my job and my girl was cutting me loose
What a bafoon as i thought lookin in da mirror
Touching scars on my face as my body shivers
Attempt to get up lookin round me dusting off the litter
My pockets empty guess the victory was kinda bitter
I tried to grab my gun but it slipped right through my fingers
And each door was closed I passed through every room i entered
Then it dawned on me picturing what i remembered
A shots fired through my head which broke the mirror.
I turned around and saw a man who there had on my get up
His eyes rolled back I highly doubt that he would let em

You are the potter
I'm the clay so mold us
Everyday they preach the gospel to these vultures
It's just the life we live as King Cobra's
The streets turn boys to men
Men into soldiers eh
And we don't ever break for no-one
No No No No
And we don't ever break for no-one
No No No No

You are the potter
I'm the clay so mold us
Everyday they preach the gospel to these vultures
It's just the life we live as King Cobra's
The streets turn boys to men
Men into soldiers eh
And we don't ever break for no-one
No No No No
And we don't ever break for no-one
No No No No

You know mistakes are meant to be its like its like destiny
And to learn we often have to make em
Its what you do after you make your mistakes
What path you choose makes you who you are and how you are
And no matter how hard you try you can't stop a person from making mistakes
It's all a part of this learning process we call life
