But man

I done been through it all

So I I said

I wanna tell my story

'Cause I never cried or nothing

And that's where the

Make 'em say uhh uhh

That's like my pain

That's basically what it is

That's my battle cry

Think about it

None of us are perfect

We live in an imperfect world

You know

Only God can judge me

That's how look at it

The people that's sitting around

Pointing their fingers

Imagine all the stuff

They're probably doing

Whether you're police officers

Doctors lawyers presidents

Whatever you got good

And bad in everything

You know we're putting

People on a pedestal

That's just a human like us

You know

I mean they got more drugs

In the rich neighborhoods

Than they got in the hood

A lot of their kids dying

From overdose and things like that

Think about it

Black kids have to figure it out

We don't have rehabs to go to

You gotta rehab yourself

But for us

You can't pull the plug on us

And tell us it's over

Not me
