Heart On Tha Track

Put my heart on tha track, words can't express
Let you feel the pain, turn lyrics into flesh
Put my heart on tha track, so you know how I feel
Lil' bit emotion, let you realize it's real

I was told something that meant great importance/
Proper preparation prevents poor performance/
From a different city like the New Orleans Hornets/
In Atlanta throwing up M's at my performances/
Torment and humiliation- sum you can avoid/
Don't tell 'em where i'm from, out of towners get annoyed/
Void- ima have to be a hemorrhoid/
That's a pain in the ass/
Yeah I came from the Ap/
Sustained through the pain- state and name in the tat/
Let 'em know bout where I came from- maintain where I'm at/
Can't refrain from the facts/
The blood that was running in my vain in the trap/
Then it went from my heart from my brain to the track/
Only way you feel the same, got banged slanging crack/

Never told a name, not a soul, not a thang/

Livin by the code cause this game's not a game- I maintain/

Put my heart on tha track, words can't express
Let you feel the pain, turn lyrics into flesh
Put my heart on tha track, so you know how I feel
Lil' bit emotion, let you realize it's real

Put my heart on tha track, words can't express
Let you feel the pain, turn lyrics into flesh

Put my heart on tha track, so you know how I feel
Lil' bit emotion, let you realize its real

25 years, spent 5 locked up/
6 years no home, how the pain popped up/
The rain popped up- on several occasions/
No ponchos, umbrellas, or evasions/
No equations- most of my middle school/
Kept writing music- Never was a little fool/
Never can you ridicule- me or humiliate/
Circle of a sucka, pimpin' never I'll affiliate/
Vocabulary fine- I ain't even graduate/
Indicted 17- and had to emancipate/
Went and got my GED, but don't think it's good enough/

7 felonies damn- tell me that ain't hood enough/
Screw that silly ish- cause I really wish/
That I went to college where the women is the prettiest/

But I hung with idiots/
Mistakes what they really is/
Like homie getting popped off sayin "it's really his"/

If you don't struggle- then you can't progress/
The more that you suffer- the sweeter the success/
Night after night- I ain't even have a bite-/
I ain't talking bout bait- man i'm talking bout a plate/

Where my family? All in a another state/
Where my mind at? Man it's in another state/
Where my daughter at? With her step-dad Mom/
Mine ain't seen her in a year- man yes that's long/
Baby mama like ion see nothing wrong
I den gave up like everything else gone
Gotta stay strong cause i'm Mama's only son/
And who gone put Minneapolis on?
I'm the only one/
Hating on me's only dumb- look at my position/
Look at my charges- look at my disposition/
I tell 'em that it's real- only way to make 'em listen/
Put my heart on tha track- not one beat skippin'/

Let you feel the pain, turn lyrics into flesh
Put my heart on tha track, so you know how I feel
