Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I grew up in H-town living life on the blocks
From then that's when I became unorthodox
I use to tie knots in ma socks
Filled them with rocks, and I'd
Swing your jaw if you gave bad looks
Now I, haven't changed, still slightly deranged
Still slightly outraged and I feel insane
At the way I contain so much pain
Like a fiend, Life is real, do you know what I mean?
It's like, ever since the days I was young
Man was bussin' full clips and the run of your tongue and
In my hood I see mans get worked
Then that man would come back 'n' say that man got murked
Yeah, I can say that my live's been hard
Six of us lived in a two bedroom yard
So I keep this in mind, full well knowing
I know where I've been, so I know where I'm going
[Verse 2]
You don't know where I've been
You don't know what I've been through
So how can you judge me?
You don't know about the life that I got
You don't know what it's like to live in my slot
This worlds gone mad and it don't seem right
Every night I pray to god please turn out the light
That would be my one wish
That would be my one wish
You don't know where I've been
You don't know what I've been through
So how can you judge me?
You don't know about the life that I got
You don't know what it's like to live in my slot
This worlds gone mad and it don't seem right
Every night I pray to god please turn out the light
That would be my one wish
[Verse 3]
I got that H-A-C blood in me
I rep my east side, I'm that ghetto gully mind chick, born in E5
And I've always moved with mans ever since I was young
'Cause these girls are too bitchy and their mind set is long
I learnt how to move and stay wise on the street
'Cause my older boy's showed me how a girl should roll deep
I saw moves get moved, watch man move what they move
To survive out here, you got to do what you do
Hustling on the corner, shedding work
'Cause when your grinding you gotta make it work
'Cause life is hard and life is real
And man now a days don't care when they kill
Boys young as sixteen, life's taken and gone and I sit back and sigh
What the fuck is going on? This is wrong
To the families of lost ones, I'm sorry
R.I.P to babies Jessica and Holly
[Verse 4]
You don't know where I've been
You don't know what I've been through
So how can you judge me?
You don't know about the life that I got
You don't know what it's like to live in my slot
This worlds gone mad and it don't seem right
Every night I pray to god please turn out the light
That would be my one wish
(That would be my one wish)
You don't know where I've been
You don't know what I've been through
So how can you judge me?
You don't know about the life that I got
You don't know what it's like to live in my slot
This worlds gone mad and it don't seem right
Every night I pray to god, please turn out the light
That would be my one wish
That would be my one wish
[Verse 5]
They don't know what I'm going through
They don't know what I'm going through
They don't know what I'm going through
They don't know what it's like for me or you
[Verse 6]
The hood holds loyalty
The hood holds faith
The hood holds struggle
And the hood holds rage
The hood holds haters that wanna grudge me
But I don't watch you, only god here can judge me
So I don't care if you like me or hate me
'Cause lately a lot of heads wanna vibe crazy
But I ain't here to make new friends
Shystie is just here to make a means to a ends
I'ma be the reason why you step up your pace in this race
I'ma take every chicks fan base
And I'ma be the realist girl in the game
I'ma be the reason people forget your name
'Cause I'm big inner dis
Big bad inner dis
And I don't care who likes me and whose pissed
'Cause Shystie's here and I'm reppin' it for London
I'm never gonna be a pop emcee, you must be dumb, man
[Verse 7]
You don't know where I've been
You don't know what I've been through
So how can you judge me?
You don't know about the life that I got
You don't know what it's like to live in my slot
This worlds gone mad and it don't seem right
Every night I pray to god please turn out the light
That would be my one wish
That would be my one wish
You don't know where I've been
You don't know what I've been through
So how can you judge me?
You don't know about the life that I got
You don't know what it's like to live in my slot
This worlds gone mad and it don't seem right
Every night I pray to god, please turn out the light
That would be my one wish
That would be my one wish
[Verse 8]
(Tell me where I've been)
(That would be my one wish)
