(0:06) A life can mean many definitions to someone whether it is happiness or struggle, to me, it meant the last word you heard born scraping the floor and rolling the dice hoping at the same time your addictions would become clean and them prescriptions wouldn't mean shit no more when they were offered, this wasn't just me, my friends were being capped and held against by there own mother yeah to me it was absurd but as a true friend you gotta act like you didn't know keep it blurred.
Self defense around here? no, except a fucking butter knife and that shit didn't even work like it seemed but the idea of knowing that object protected you like family, made it part of your blessings people around you owning some guns but as a man you show no fear when it came to them attacking your brother standing in line to die man, but to them I was a fucking nerd who couldn't talk just slurred...

(1:17) Now growing up I knew I didn't have much but I remained thankful until the state would come in and showed up to rub shit in our face and remind us that these bills under our hats were changing angles, causing my parents here to blow up
And at the time I didn't understand why they were fighting but as I became older man I realized this fire from Hell was overflowing in our only cup, my friends seen this too like man this ain't simple, Dad was stressing out about quitting his job and Mom was arguing back knowing of what the problem was and with me and my brother breaking the law, every one of us had bloodstained the table
And with this table covered in drama our hands stayed on it, with elbows in our bowls down to our guts, everyday we had threats of going behind bars and getting kicked out wrapped in chains as unstable...

(2:29) It didn't take long for cops to hate us, me and my brother walk around town bored out of our mind so we were robbing places whether it was soda from the vending machine or it was actual stores around the block from Megan's, you envision me with a gun loaded threatening shit but it was really about sneaking in just constantly taking.
Yeah we did what we could to eat but we were at our lowest but pretending to be perfectly fine until alot of faces started recognizing us and reporting to see a group of "Trouble Makers" causing a shaking to poor Lucy, a girl with disabilities yeah believe me I've obviously changed to a much more goal focused supporting MC,
I'm just describing my vibes of a struggling life and the mindset when my legs buckled cause this place I was at, I had crashed when vibing in a body that was starving each night...
