Life Story - Black Rob, Cheryl Pepsi Riley, Racquel

The world ain’t no different now

The world ain’t no different now

Never had a dime, my life a crime

Had to be when I was nine, Moms drunk off wine

Running with all kinds her mind stayed in the stupor

'til the point she paid no mind to the super

Stay mad but stay fronting with smiles

Stayed on the growl and eating once and a while

First day of school never had nothing too style

Mister Colondre stressing, I ain’t coming in a while

It was a bummer, rocking the shit I rocked all summer

On the first day, I was feeling some kind of way

And she wasn’t trying to do nothing, you would think

For the sake of the kids, she’d enroll in school or something

Now I know then was even harder

'specially for a single mother raising me with no father

Shit living up in this tenement, eating stale Entenmann’s

Talking wild shit to Spanish immigrants

I speak in codes, man tú sabe

Always!

Cállate!

Bendición to my madre

Even though she never did nothing for me

Acknowledge me as I run down my life story

You don’t know, how crazy it is outside

I’ve died inside so many times

Oh, I’ve cried, oh, I’ve cried

Check the skit, nobody never gave me shit

If anything a nigga framed me and made me get

3 to 6 my first bid, no doubt up in Spofford

Had to be 12 son, trying to make a profit

Remembering robbed my Moms with no guilt

Eating pork and beans, old corn flakes with no milk

Bitter, in school I smacked cats in a hurry

Moms ain’t care she busy getting drunk with Mrs. Berry

On the first floor, I used to thirst for greenery

Picking pockets with Seth and Jay from 106th Street

Yo, fuck home, I’m tired of getting punched in my dome

Tired of hearing this faggot-ass nigga moan, I started roaming

My hustle game is deep, cats ya heard

From San Fran back to Manhattan to Newburg

Notorious tell your friends to spread the word

Glorious, my life story is absurd

You don’t know, how crazy it is outside

I’ve died inside so many times

Oh, I’ve cried, oh, I’ve cried

I know I haven’t been the best

I’ve shown you things you shouldn’t have seen

Can you forgive me?

Can you forgive me?

Oh, my baby

Home from Elmira, got a little brighter

I’mma keep it real still a schemer and conniver

Recognize the struggle, living like a thug do

Hatred in my heart but inside I love you

See no matter what I will extend my arms to hug you

Knowing that I’m just like you, I am like the double

All I wanna know is how you pound me down

Yo, this shit is real and you really jerked me around

But any way I am getting paid with Puff now

'Bout to cop you a house I can send you some stuff now

So many levels jail take you

I appreciate jail 'cause it made me appreciate you

I’ve been through fire and brimstone

Used to be diplomas in jail, now I cop the gem stone

I remembered when you rushed me

The time you said you should of flushed me, I forgive you ma trust me

You don’t know, how crazy it is outside

I’ve died inside so many times

Oh, I’ve cried, oh, I’ve cried

I know I haven’t been the best

I’ve shown you things you shouldn’t have seen

Can you forgive me?

Can you forgive me?

Oh, my baby
