1938

so first of all its KBD

and it all started back on 1938 street

daddy selling dope but he laying on the couch

moms was always working running in and out the house

but daddy kept her up making enough to support

but money somehow kept on coming up short

we was struggling tryna find a way to pay the bills

anxiety built up, so she started smoking and popping pills

i was in school, just starting the forth grade

by that time daddy was working and getting paid

but he was still at it selling dope

momma was still finding a way to cope

in the middle of the year, i found out something so amusing

in three or four months i heard we were moving

but daddy told me to sit down and listen

at the same time he was going to prison

fastword 4 months and daddy on his way

kept telling myself it was gonna be ok

walk into the building it was nothing but quite

i knew this would be the last time i could see him every night

but i knew it was ok because it was just a year

looked over at my moms, didn't see one tear

that night i tried but couldn't sleep

i knew that whatever he did that shit was deep

but one year later daddy get out

i knew by the new look he had got on the right route

fast forward 4 years and here i am now

looking at the past like "damn...wow"

I know God brought me here

by his amazing fate

how bout you step up to my class like "oh shit am i late?"

i know he truth is hard to swallow

but it had to be ate

but this all started back on 1938
