Should Know

You all really do not know me
I was in the streets at fifteen
May as well been loaded up on caffeine
But really it was the drugs I was taking
I was out there living the fast life
You can never fool me twice
While you tryna cause me all this strife
You probably can't look me in the eyes

I feel there's something you should know
In order for you all to grow
I didn't always get to glow
I was in the streets riding metro

Do you really wanna know me
I feel the devils gotten in me
There's so many things that I can see
I think he's nominated me
I was out there living reckless
Any day could have been the end
That life I wouldn't recommend
You may just end up getting condemned

I feel there's something you should know
In order for you all to grow
I didn't always get to glow
I was in the streets riding metro

I was getting arrested
I never felt well rested
Always feeling protested
It caused me some resentment
People act like they know me
But don't know the struggles that really made me
For a long time I was empty
And for that stop fucking judging me

I feel there's something you should know
In order for you all to grow
I didn't always get to glow
I was in the streets riding metro
I feel there's something you should know
In order for you all to grow
I didn't always get to glow
I was in the streets riding metro

I was living on the streets
I didn't have a way to eat or drink
Had to get it all illegally
And then I caught a felony
So before you bring my name up
Come look at this song I've mixed up
I feel like I've said enough
My life here's the closeup

I feel there's something you should know
In order for you all to grow
I didn't always get to glow
I was in the streets riding metro
