Momma said life's gunna hit you quick

I thought I knew it all

Til' I had my first couple of tours through the hall

Los Padrinos to EastLake coping out, Hit the compound

Cuz after that you hear Y.A straight lockdown

House arrest got me stressed, some scissors in my hand

Trying to cut it off, can't even go eat dinner with the Fam

I got violations like the nations driving record

Probation got me by a noose, I'm hanging by a tether

My P.O says he's trynna help

But honestly I think he's trynna help me on the shelf

And book me in

He said I'm just like my crooked friends

He said he don't see my heart

I tell "Feel my pain and look again"

We come from two different places

Funny how you judge me on what's displaced in my cases

Completely denying the fact thats far from my bases

Since we earned a couple felonies ya'll think we ain't shit

And I know you know you think I'm shit

I ain't tough, but sure these niggas know that I ain't no bitch

And everytime I hear some good news out

The bad news comes in

I'm done dealin' with women and they assumptions

Askin' themselves will they be faithful and can I trust him

I ain't got time for girls with they misleading discussions

Answer my question with a "Yes" or a "No"

Cuz I ain't got time for your little mixed messages yo

Used to hold my anger in, but now I'm lettin' show

Cuz people I know that passed away promised me never to go

And I can't get, Rid of the pain inside

I swear I hear the angels cry

Steady movin' towards the light hoping to stay alive

Cuz darkness devours your soul until the day you die

We livin' in sin because Adam believed in Satan's lie

But I used measure grams in the baggies

And bit off more than I can chew

Cuz I thought that they would never catch me

Now I'm locked up in a cell with no mail from my friends and family

And I guess thats what they meant when they said

I'm just like my daddy, nigga
