[girl singing:Chorus]

[verse 1]

Read between the lines this life ain't what it seems
I wrote this track for the kids thats on struggle street
The ones that go home with no food to eat
See theres no love there so they turn onto the streets
On the corner late night trynna get by
Young girl having sex so she could get high
That ain't the life to live (nah) i seen that path before
Cold cold world knocking on heavens door
These young lads making earn so they can make some cash
See a lady walking home and pump her bag snatch
Cause they ain't got no money and thats a hard lesson
Like fuck this old bitch im gonna rob her for a pension
We just be victoms of our reputation
Take away our freedom, incarceration
You think that shit helps, its only damage to ourselves
Wonder why we're stressed out going through mental help

[Chorus]

[verse 2]

Growing up you probably live like shit
But you never had a choice you where put there to live
Looking after the kids, your little sister and your brother
Your just a young teen but you feeling like your older
Its a sad sad thing growing up to fast, school a hard nox
Got no time for that class and now your hocking shit
Just to buy the groceries, thinking where the fuck are the people that are close to me?
Breaking down everyday slowly dying man
Everyday inside you be crying man
You wanna numb the pain, go to a better place
But you can't cause your stuck where you were raised
A victim of the struggle now you wanna learn to hustle
And make the money just to get yourself out of trouble
Real talk man go change that
Reach for the stars lad dont look back
[Chorus]
