I'm 29 still living with that trauma from my childhood
I was on the go for people quick to turn hollywood
I felt like mlk I was fighting for my livelihood
I'm still having nightmares with them ** from my neighborhood
That miscarriage ** with my head I wanted fatherhood
I used to try to fit in I just really wanted brotherhood
I had to change myself just to make it in the dough hood
Black man overcome the odds we call it manhood
Twenty year old kelvin he would be so ** proud of me
I used to be so gullible but my brother say he call it green
If I never left both cold young I'd probably be a ** fiend
My parents shipped me out to military school at fourteen
Tears in my eyes riding past where I grew up at
Many things running through my head it's like a bad dream
The one stab you in your back it really be your own team
Diamond from the pressure I'm the crop to the cream
I remember taking cold showers I was thinking suicide
If it wasn't for my father ** man I wouldn't be alive
Melena is the bonnie to my clyde man she do or die
I thank the lord for blessing me cause all I used to do is cry
Some people that I really love I really had to say goodbye
Letters don't come easy man I really had to sacrifice
Transparent in my life I'm really trying to sit a mess
Get it how you live cause you only live once
I'm 29 still living with that trauma from my childhood
I was on the go for people quick to turn hollywood
I felt like mlk I was fighting for my livelihood
I'm still having nightmares with them ** from my neighborhood
That miscarriage ** with my head I wanted fatherhood
I used to try to fit in I just really wanted brotherhood
I had to change myself just to make it in the dough hood
Black man overcome the odds we call it manhood
