[Chorus:]
You don't know me, you don't wanna
The demons that I be holding, the skeletons in my closet keep on growing
And you know it, don't test my future with happiness, filled with love and emotion
Cause I'll break it down, push it away, won't let that shit closer
You don't love me, you don't wanna
The demons that I be holding, the skeletons in my closet keep on growing
And you know it, don't test my future with happiness, filled with love and emotion
Cause I'll break it down, push it away, won't let that shit closer
[Verse 1:]
I was homeless as a kid, no telling lies, it's just a fact
We had nothing in our name except the clothes up in our bag
And my mom grinded hard and got us back to where we was at
And it's ninety for district, eighty-eight Bernard on that ave
I went to school every day with the same clothes I had worn before
No food to bring or eat at lunch so I had to steal it from the store
Puffed Tobacco, release my stress from the cigs I found on the floor
Saved a couple toonies up, suddenly I didn't feel so poor
Every montha new eviction notice laid up on the door
Handed my money to my mom she said, "Honey, we need some more"
I started tearin' up cause I saw her crying, begging the lord that he would save us
But fuck that shit, he just left us like before
Cause he ain't there, no he ain't care
This world no, it ain't fair
The tough times, I been there
My mom dying? I seen that shit
Six months left, she beat that
No cancer could defeat that
You could tell me go to hell but bitch, that's where I used to sleep at
[Chorus:]
You don't know me, you don't wanna
The demons that I be holding, the skeletons in my closet keep on growing
And you know it, don't test my future with happiness, filled with love and emotion
Cause I'll break it down, push it away, won't let that shit closer
You don't love me, you don't wanna
The demons that I be holding, the skeletons in my closet keep on growing
And you know it, don't test my future with happiness, filled with love and emotion
Cause I'll break it down, push it away, won't let that shit closer
[Verse 2:]
Moved down to Scarborough, we was still strugglin'
Deal with that hard shit, my grandmother gave my momma $500,000 deposit
Two years later it's all gone, money ran from outta pockets
Every cent went to cancer treatments, I swear this world is heartless
Fourteen years, on freshman year I started working at McDonald's
Wasn't paying off the bills so I started slanging on the Donald
I was trappin' out the house, moving ounces up out the front door
SPD be coming by, be knocking on my front door
Every day of my life I done lived with pain in my strife
I be drinking beer down at night, cocaine, cigs and beer was my vices
All the things I done seen as a child give you a fright
I'm surprised that I survived to see twenty years of my life
Five years in prison deferred, disposition hanging on my head
Haters keep on dissing, got the Smith & cause they want me dead
Asking why they fucking hate me, cause I'm getting to this bread
You gonna diss a kid who's just tryin' pay off his mother's debt? (God Damn)
