Yeah, flashbacks to that laundromat with my mama, I was young and wide -eyed on the web

and comic -comic.

They say the first child should pay for the sins of the father, so I bought him my tomorrow's

look.

Uh, tell Nick I'm sorry, I had to do it, I couldn't take it.

If I don't kill him, I'm sorry, Shawty, we ain't gonna make it.

Girl, I done seen my lowest lows, I mean low as the basement, tryna reflect without using

a mirror cause I'm too scared to face it.

What am I chasing and will it fulfill me once I catch it?

I need some straight -forward answers cause I been living backwards.

Can't feel the pastor when he talk about upcoming rapture.

Preaching money's the root of all evil, but asking for money after.

Succumbing up, we ain't have it to give, but we still gave it.

The church was making a killing off of our little savings.

You can't put a price on faith, that's how my mama phrased it.

But mama, if this the house of the Lord, then how can we not appraise it?

I was young and confused with nothing to lose.

Better to be human than God, wear the lengths and the hues.

Ironic when your brain start to spark, they try and diffuse, but my d***, the only choice

that we have in life is to choose, so I'm choosing.

I got a homegirl convinced that everything we see is tricks and this life is just an

illusion.

Some days I entertain it, I know that thinking is dangerous, just be feeling like it's so

much more.

It's hard to explain it, but I do believe in God and it's odd, but I know that even

when I'm straying far away from my path, there's a reason, and there you have it.

Word to my boy from TDE that I met in them sessions, this is the revenge of the dreamer.

I seen a rose grow from out of that concrete, yeah right there up my block, or right on

the corner where Devontae got shot, and then it hit me.

One day eventually things will change and maybe something beautiful can rise and thrive

from all that pain, so R .I .P.

It's a joke that I believe, it's hard to believe in anything, with all that I've been through,

all that I've seen, can't just believe in anything.

Much to my surprise, I'm old enough to know, I can't do anything on my own, so I believe

in God, I've cried enough to know, I'm trying every day to hold on, hold on.

No one ever gonna do for you, quite like you, quite like you.

No one ever gonna do for you, quite like you, quite like you.

I suppose it's hard to put my faith in anyone else, but I don't put my faith in nobody else.

Though I know that we only somehow, can reach up.

I know I ain't been all that you expect from me,

I've been so lost, so low, I need you desperately.

I swear I heard them say, the truth will set you free.

If there's one thing I learned, I can't do nothing else but me.
