Snippet Of My Life

This is just a snippet of my life story

This is what was written in my life for me

Nothing but pain and the strife

Feel this pain in my life

I see nothing but a ghetto story

This is just a snippet of my life story

This is what was written in my life for me

Nothing but pain and the strife

Feel this pain in my life

I see nothing but a ghetto story

Me and my little brother growing up

Mummy shot food to put clothes on us

Times was rough and mummy had enough

So mummy cried most nights because our life was fucked

My mummy lost her mum from young, now she cries

Every time her birthday comes

Me and my brother used to go and give her birthday hugs

And wipe the tears from her eyes like, "mummy, don’t cry"

"Mummy we’re fine, we're gonna be alright"

She said, “sons we do what we have to to survive, in the slums”

My mummy used to package out the white, to get us

A name brand jacket and some nikes

To put food in the fridge and get the things that we liked

But it seems every day’s a struggle and a fight

No help, we only got each-other in this life

Struggling to hustle, struggle to get by

This is just a snippet of my life story

This is what was written in my life for me

Nothing but pain and the strife

I see nothing but a ghetto story

My life's been painful from the fucking start

Growing up poor, on my estate, life is fucking hard

Mummy tried her best to stop us selling hard

But benefits can’t put food in our fucking yard

After bills, we got a score for the week

How the fuck we gonna eat, with 3 mouths to feed?

What a cheek, at 15, we were shotting draws

16, 17, We were shotting raw

Haters got feds kicking off my door

But mummy heard them come and hid my food before they saw

The next time they raided, they beat me to the floor

The time after that, the council wouldn’t fix our door

We had to barricade ourselves in, paranoid, staring

Through the peep hole, anytime we hear things

Mummy still cries, still wishing it was better

And shortly after that, eviction written in a letter

My brother had a daughter, I’ve got one on the way

They tryna kick us out and we’ve got nowhere else to stay

Plus we got caught up, the man they let it spray

Me and my brother, both standing by the gate

They rinsed 9, my brother caught a stray

The pain in my eyes, the day that I changed

Nothing in this life could ever change my mind frame

I’m so far gone, I feel like I’m insane. In the hospital

Mummy's going crazy, shes going nuts

Screaming, “let me see my baby!”

If my brother died, they would’ve had to take me

On my mother’s life, someone's gonna to pay, g

Para’ as fuck, got’s to look over my shoulder

Not knowing who did it, made it so much colder

I’m praying for my spirit because my hearts got no love

Early teens, I had the mind of a grown up
