Radio

I remember shoot outs over necklaces

little debbie breaksfasts

Growing up in the projects, life stinks

drinking fifths of hennessy to forget my misery

Struggling out here in these streets

Barely living in this world

and this world is just so hateful

[Chorus]

It's just so hateful

the kids are so ungrateful

and I'm no longer able to disguise my disgust

And I know they're saying

we should trust the lord will come and help us

and maybe i'm just being selfish but I've had enough

But when my song comes on the radio

i forget all my troubles

and for one moment I'm not there at all

No matter where in my life I am that's my jam

Said when my song comes on the radio

I forget all of my troubles

and for one moment I'm not there

I remember fighting with my babysitter

Life without no father figure

Searching for my daddy's killer, life stinks

Working jobs that I don't like

Cussing out God every night

For giving me this awful life

and it dont stop cuz this world

[Chorus]

Yo I done been in a lot of street fights

Got a hood stripes but I aint immune to pain

whether you are seventeen, balck, white, gay, straight, or a lesbian

we all go through the same thing on one level or another

you never had a dad, had a part time mother

you had a good girl but you was too gutter

mommie got a man now but you still love her

some things just fall apart like some words break your heart

even if you dont admit it sometimes i the back of your mind

you really want to fall down and cry and never get up

but you gotta get up cuz you gotta pay bills even though you feel like a loser

but you aint a loser you God's child and cant nothing move ya

but when my song comes on the radio

i forget all of my troubles

for one moment i'm not there at all

no matter where in my life i am

thats my jam, thats my jam

when my song comes on the radio

i forget all of my troubles

and for one moment i'm not there at all

no matter where in my life i am

thats my jam
