Memories from my past, in classic Hip Hop manner, bringing me up to today.

lyrics

I'm just saying where we staying they gonna keep on taking
All this trouble in the jungle, if we stumble, well, we ain't gonna make it, no
They keep trying and they lying all the time but baby we can't fake it
Don't cry, dry your eyes tonight - everything's gonna be alright
I ain't ever gonna quit, I ain't ever gonna budge
Even if I ever slip, I ain't ever giving up
This life is all you get in this world, you see
And I ain't planning on leaving it early...

Take another sip to numb the brain, take another trip down memory lane
Yea some things change, but mostly they just stay the same
Like how we keep keeping trapped in the game - The shit is insane
How they trying to lock us up all, dog
Taking long hauls on buses tossing us over yard walls
That's why you tend to find us tussling in bar brawls
Or hustling some broads trying to get their bras off
Pick your poison if your looking for the cancer
There's a million and one ways to find what comes after
These days one percenters be the number one factor
If they think they coming back I guess they'll find out when it happens
But for me it's another road ahead
Avoiding the paths that so many have been lead
We got a saying, goes 'Tried and true'
But to me, seems like a chosen few...

Before my time, it's enough to go and blow your high
Its enough to make you blow your mind
While you're starring down the barrel of a Colt 45
And it's starring back dead in your eye
It happens in this life, that's why I'm counting my blessings
The very essence of my being a reminder of the lessons
From the past to the present, but I still don't know why
We've lost so many and I'm saying 'mama don't cry'
Shed a tear for the many, I've shed plenty
But it still hasn't quenched the fire I got in me
They say that God gonna send me back to hell
But sometimes feels like I'm there, so it's hard to tell
Most days I'm just trying to keep my head above water
Spent most of my life trying to be my father's daughter
Thrown into a world of chaos, not much to offer
Just a penny for my thoughts, another penny for the coffer

How can this be
What is happening
What I've seen with my own eyes
Lord help me believe
