[Verse 1]
I just wanna get my bread
And talk my shit 'fore I end up dead
I got all this blood sitting on my hands
I never gave no fuck, so they understand
Why I feel this way, just found God and I still don't pray
'Cause Satan prey on the weak, swear I can do it myself
Soul stuck in the beats, it's like I'm crying for help;
Still, my expression is bleak, because my momma ain't
Raised no bitch, never take no shit
From no n***a 'less he wanna see the black four-fifth
From the ghetto where the oceans is, but all hope is lost
We know the laws and quick to break 'em once the dough involved
Young age, they wrote us off, guns blaze, they go to court
I got a lot of homies gone, product of they broken home
But who to say what's right and wrong? They ain't live it
Looking straight into their eyes still, and they ain't get it

[Chorus]
But if I had a hundred dollars for every dream that I ever had
I'd barely have enough to right the wrongs I did in the past
They say forgive and forget, look at it and laugh
We gave all that we had and got nothing

[Verse 2]
As far as music, kid, I'm innovative
N***as pretend to hate it, influence you n***as' favorite
You stupid believing different, authentic, you lack the stitching;
Sitting when it's game time, snitching when you face time
What's wrong with you n***as?
See, I was brought up where that talking get you shot up at apartments
Where the bitch that set you up had told you meet her just that morning
Just a warning, my performance astounding
Everybody want something, get these n***as from round me
Tryna climb skyscrapers
Life is but a dream but it's never what it seems
So I never leave my weapon at the house
Rather spend time sitting behind bars than in the grave
I'm getting paid tryna change from my sinning ways
[Chorus]
But if I had a hundred dollars for every dream that I ever had
I'd barely have enough to right the wrongs I did in the past
They say forgive and forget, look at it and laugh
We gave all that we had and got nothing

[Verse 3]
Working on my 1,000 time telling you sorry
Walking around, pretending it ain't affect me
But nothing was further from the truth
Least I'm tryna recoup, just blame it on the youth
No matter what you feel or seen, I was in it too
Probably more than you would ever believe
You gave me something I would never receive again
We prob'ly won't be again, but would you expect it, though?
I'm just the n***a that I promised you I was
When you swore that I was better
Was in it through the weather storm
Just was better moving on
There was a time I thought that I would never think about you again
You was the best friend a n***a could have
I used to call you when I thought that I would die that day
And you would calm me down, and I would make my way
You prob'ly should have stayed; it just wasn't your place
I thought about you today
