Hu$tlena

Momma had me young/ Pops was just a young thug/ Growing up was ruff I’m still learning how to love/ Born with less, so much stress/ Yet I’m still focused on my outcome nevertheless I’m blessed/ You should be my sponsor, where can I lay my head next?/ So many questions, but no answers I get perplexed/ with life and set fire to cancer sticks/ You know cigarettes? Then I gotta hold the canibus/ and according to me, it was the best way to handle things/ No pity please I’m young pretty and pleased/ with the fact my intelligence is intact from hundreds to g’s/ Oh yeah, I’m on my grind I gotta get it/ No time to waste/ so I’m getting it at an endless pace/ Gotta do what it takes to keep living/ I come from the gritty in case/ you ain’t know I’m serious about changing the game/ Xing all you lames and doing my thang/ ‘Cause this here hasn’t been done before, I’m tired of the same ol’ you know....

So I’m thinking of a master plan should I be dreaming?/ The angels cursed me blind with straight and crooked thinking/ If I fought with all the strength I held inside it would all be easy believe me/ I don’t want it if it’s that easy/ I was born a product made to crumble yet I’m standing easily so c’mon/ Sending Obama wasn’t appeasing to me y’all wrong/ Stand up and stand out that’s what I’m about/ I’m not looking for a handout I’m grown/ I got everything planned out, so long/ I’m shooting for the stars Mars is my home/ Above and beyond/ Young and gone been on my own/ for awhile and I was barely sixteen with a child wow/ I’m nineteen she’s about to be five/ That’s my little princess/ I know I’m queen all eyes against us/ Keep up I move mean/ I ride for you, you ride for me/ Stand up but stand out, Unity/ YOu and me, Us and we

They nothings good in the hood but who are they to say?/ I’m a diamond in the ruff, I’m in the hood everyday/ and if i could I would bring the whole hood to the top with me/ Everybody gon’ rock with me we can ball out properly/ Nothing to me is impossible, there’s always room for improvement there’s no stopping me/ They want me to be clueless, I’m not confused/ I know I was set up to lose/ It’s foolish what they do/ Forgive us Father for we don’t know what you knew/ All I know is show improve so just what Ima do/ I’m so into the truth I thrive off that/ My auntie told me today that she gon’ die off crack/ What can I say to that? I laugh and tell her to stop saying that/ I laugh at my pain since I’m educated I can change the future facts/ Imagine that I’m holding up in this life of chaos and mess/ My chest out my head up I have no regrets/ Yes, I’m on my own but I wouldn’t be.....
