Yeh, yeh, uh Cuz half the shit that I write ain't got shit to do with my life It's so mainstream yeh, got you feelin right Deeper songs that I write, that's where I been through the fight Stay underground yeh, cuz they don't bring you no light No I don't need your sympathy I am who I am please don't feel sorry for me now Cuz the hell I escaped, not much left to say Fact of the matter is it made me who I am today Things that I been through, I can't believe I lived through If I told you all my story Half of ya'll probably ignore me And it's okay Half of the shit ya'll couldn't escape I remember the time Yeh, I wasn't alright The day I lost it all I went crazy Tried to end it all but they saved me Truth is I couldn't handle losing my first baby Yeah God just threw me off why do he play me (damn) They say don't forget me when you're rich and famous Where the hell were y'all when I was broke and nameless Don't hit me up on no congratulations, yeh If you watched me starve you don't deserve an invitation Mama seen all of the signs, needed a stronger spine Knew what to do yeh, she wasn't right No fault of mine, no the blame it ain't mine No victim card nah, all ten toes to the line, yeh The first time I was violated I spoke on it and still he skated Emotional, mental, physical, sexual, every form you name it Abuse of any kind by third grade already faced it I never used a drug in my life But you can bet I was the plug once or twice Through it all still I rise it's elevation, yeh And I don't say this shit to just be an inspiration Excuse me when I fail participation This energy requires preservation Cuz it's all that I got, whether I like it or not And if it all goes away, I might just fade away, fade away They say don't forget me when you're rich and famous But where the hell were y'all when I was broke and nameless Don't hit me up on no congratulations If you watched me starve you don't deserve an invitation They say don't forget me when you're rich and famous But where the hell were y'all when I was broke and nameless Don't hit me up on no congratulations If you watched me starve you don't deserve an invitation You don't deserve an invitation
