How ' s it feel to be overlooked underrated and hated
Stomach pains in the belly of a city hungry
If one of us made it to prominence is a mentality
Of crabs in the barrel of reality it ' s pretty ugly
Well back up cause my story ain ' t a fairy tell it ' s really real
Ain ' t had a chance I ain ' t have nothing I could barely feel
All I have is these neighborhoods I know very well
In a fiery will some pages in my diary I would spill
Lyrics on my paper violence around me it ' s on me
I blindly look through these books like a zombie
Measuring these stories with these bare hands pictures of this grimy game
I stall it like a pilot in a kamikaze plane
A decade of pain dudes know I ' m a grown man
I live my life holding death inside my own hand
The kids that I grew up with locked up are inside a box
There ain ' t no one in here the only choice is fight or box
The music pushed me through the ghosts in the hall
The toasters and the dope sickness and ferociousness and all
The hopelessness of watching overdoses in the horror
Suicides and murders I can't take this shit no more
I have these posters on my wall and this music in my room
It took me out my world it would shoot me to the moon
Yous ' a fire burning I ' m determined from this hard learning
Put me on a different road engine revving tires turning
Ever since I ' m 7 I just know where I got to go
Trapped in this vicious dome but I ' m back this is home
They said I coulda been a star but I lost my logic
My heart is harder than the bricks in the Boston projects
