When I was a kid I was obsessed with death Wondered what would happen when you took your final breath I was raised religious I was told that when you slept For forever that you either see the heavens or the depths Be on your best behavior for your lord and savior if you wanna golden mansion I was told it'd never happen on the globe They said this world is very cold, and always keep him in control because They'll be a day when father reaches down and grabs your soul I was raised an only child picture perfect family of three Both of them was young so we enjoyed the luxuries of youth together We would hit the beach whenever Spend a bag in the December All the good that I remember At a young age I learned about the Yin and Yang Balance out when angels sang There's the devil drummin' bang Playin in my brain Both my parents played it off but still the truth remained I was born on accident it made me feel ashamed Mom and dad was fighting like some dogs and cats We was out of money, mixing colors at the laundromat I was in the second grade playing with my Dodger hat I was feeling guilt about my birth because the circumstance You could never tell, I hid it well, I was scared of hell and scared as hell Why I wanna hurt myself all those feelings that I felt Auntie said the suicidal feel eternal flame I just wanna feel the same as y'all Momma had the roughest upbringing to imagine When her momma married to a man of evil actions I don't wanna speak on the atrocities and crimes You can read about it, eighty-nine LA Times After that her momma married baptist They was super poor paper plates with no napkins Momma was intelligent, a young and gifted mind But at the age of seventeen she wound up in a bind She decided she would have her child and I wonder why Couldn't have been easy all the changes coming to her life Still she made it happen working hard as hell so I could strive So I'm very thankful for the pain and all the sacrifice There was darker days in the rain, I can't hold you But optimism triumphs over things that could hurt you You could never tell about her past unless she told you Smile on her face, living life to it's virtue She grew up a little bit different than my father He was the son of an immigrant farmer From Mexico came to make a better home Came to make a better chance cause poverty was not the path Moved to Los Angeles, right by the port Lower middle class, nothing big nothing short But when the eighties came they started shooting just for sport When my dad was growing up he spent some time at court Daddy growing up was raised a baptist But it didn't stop him on the block, he was active He was from the east and he had to rep his side You could read about it eighty-eight LA Times When the nineties hit, so did licks GTA, was taking trips Off to TJ getting lit No PTA could save these kids Daddy hustled anyway Then he met my mom one day Then a child on the way, of course he stayed Daddy was a gangster but to me he was my father Yeah he raised me tough, but taught me things could be much harder Taught me self respect and showed me how to be unbothered Yeah he raised me tough, but taught me things could be much harder You could never tell that he would sell, just to keep us well Back when if you sold a gram, they put you in a cell But he gave that life away and tried his best to show me how to live Thankful for the opportunity that my father give I don't wanna take for granted all this life we lived Made it through the chaos of a world so full of sin Not of us were saints, we all did what we did If I make mistakes, well it's my life to live I don't wanna take for granted all this life we lived Made it through the chaos of a world so full of sin Not of us were saints, we all did what we did If I make mistakes, well it's my life to live When I was young in my head I had a happy place Spend a bad day in bed in my happy place Anytime I was mad to my happy place Anytime I was sad, happy place I would close my eyes then arrive To a chateau on a hillside Everything that I wanted in sight Painting on the wall was a still-life Outside was a garden full of tulips Inside full of fun, actin' foolish Had all of the games like the cool kids I could do what I want I ruleless I had every toy you could think of Root bear floats I had 3 cups Had everything you can dream of It was just me didn't have to be tough Ain't a single person to pick on me Ain't a single parent to scream at me Nobody there, it was just me Nobody there, it was just me
