“I been through mad different phases like Masons; To find my way and now I know that happy days are not far away; If I’m strong enough I’ll live long enough to see my kids; Doing something more constructive with they time; Than bids I know because I been there now I’m in there; Sit back and look at what it took for me to get there; First came the, the drama with my mama; She got on some fly sh** till I split; And said that I’ma be that seed, that doesn’t need much to succeed. Strapped with mad greed and a heart that doesn’t bleed…Ay yo I’m slippin’ I’m fallin’ I can’t get up, Ay yo I’m slippin’ I’m fallin’ I can’t get up, Ay yo I’m slippin’…
