I'm from the south side of town where dreams go to die
It's contradicting cause is trenches is where dreamers reside
But we confined to doing time and serving just to get by
I wanna hold all of my city, love on mothers who've cried
For the babyboys police came knocking for, and they like kin to me
They said my dawg he got a warrant, are you kidding me
Something old done popped up and now potentially
That nigga facing twenty I don't got the words or energy they
Put em in cuffs before confirming his identity
They say he going up state to penitentiary
Police been selling the same lies for centuries and
I can't wear another shirt saying "In loving memory"
I swear I'm used to having promises broke
And it's been nights I had to heat up bath water on stoves
Might not have lived in the suburbs but I lived by the code
I found old suicide notes it was murder I wrote
I got a brother, and I pray he never gets on the streets
In honesty I pray he never has the taste of defeat
I pray he knows I got his back when water get to his knees
My brother Anton is a warrior my nigga a G
I hope my mother knows I payed attention to her lectures
About my budgeting, how not to fold up under pressure
My mom done been through hell I know that Heaven will be better
But I'm selfish with that lady I want her living forever
I pray my daddy sees his princess grown to a queen
That I'm grateful for his time and that his effort was seen
No he ain't have a good example of what fatherhood means
But my daddy breaking curses and I think him for my genes
I pray my Granny knows...where do I start
You hold the fam together, your soul's a work of art
Your prayers were my fuel I was shattered falling apart
But then you looked me in my eyes and said "It's hard because you're marked"
And to my cousin Melo I pray you never cry again
At my lowest picked me up and you handed me my pen
When these niggas let me down I ain't wanna hear it then
But you said "Cousin you the shit don't ever put your faith in men"
To my unborn I pray you know your mommy loved you
Too young and undeveloped so my body couldn't touch you
First sign of losing you I dropped to my knees
I would've chose you over money over college degrees
I hope you see me getting to it and I'm gonna succeed
Know you in Heaven next to Matthew probably cracking on me
Baby I'm grinding just to make you proud and it's guaranteed
Imma give the world to your siblings soon as they are conceived
So tell Matthew I know just what they did to you love
I know they killed you cause you did what they attempted to love
Probably jealous cause they women they was into you thug
I'll avenge you any chance I get I'm missing you cuz
To my granny Hazel girl I miss you more by the hour
I miss your words of affirmation and your prayers with power
Cancer came and you fought, you were never a coward
It's been weird without you, I hope you surrounded by flowers
Love letters to my loved ones
Recollecting on who made me who I am and the things that I come from
Matt said he wish I picked up my pen mo
So we just getting started nigga
This the intro
Oh I know it's been hard oh no
Can't find no love
I know it's been hard
