My Life

See I done been discriminated against

Talked about by my friends

Played a fool by women

And had a daddy with no feelings

I lived in ghettos with my mama

Used the stove to heat our water

And had to share clothes with my brothers

Three of us one bed, one cover, oh

And those were the happiest days of my life

If it ain't rough it ain't right

Streets lights are coming on

Better get home, better get home

Those were the happiest days of my life

If it ain't rough it ain't right

While we're reminiscing Christopher Reeves

You're still Superman to me

You're still Superman

You're still Superman to me

You're still Superman to me

See I done been mistreated and discouraged

Felt like I was worthless

Lonely, scared, and nervous

In a world without no purpose

Cried out to God I didn't deserve this

But he said in time I would

See it's the bad times that make the good times feel so good

And those were the happiest days of my life

If it ain't rough it ain't right

Streets lights are coming on

Better get home, better get home

Those were the happiest days of my life

If it ain't rough it ain't right

While we're reminiscing Christopher Reeves

You're still Superman to me

I said you're still Superman to me

Nobodies gonna take his place

'Cause you're still, 'cause you're still Superman

Let's go

Yo, I done changed dirty diapers

Cooked food with lighters

Shot so much game chicks nicknamed me sniper

Famous ghostwriter

Bank account retired

Too many zeros

Poppy still illegal

Chain look like nickels mixed with icicles

Stretching from the neck area to the genitals

I got a parrot on my shoulder that talk for me

And he don't say shit but **** back off of me

Yeah, I'ma hood ****

But I'm still a good ****

Bought a couple kids new bikes

Just 'cause I could, ****

And I ain't be one who be looking for thanks

I just ball 'cause I like the Yanks

Wow, ten years and some months in the joint

And I'm finally home

I feel good

I'm looking good

You know what I'm saying?

Things is different, relationships is different

A lot of my friends is dead

A lot of my friends is alive and not really alive

'Cause they doing the same old thing they was doing

Ten years ago

But yo, I was onto bigger and better things

Went onto New York

You know what I'm saying?

I wasn't just talking about it, I was being about it

I wan't just trying to be a better hustler

Or a better father, or a better friend, a better cousin

I was trying to be a better person

And I found just like in the joint

When you trying to do positive things

Positive results gotta follow, they gotta follow

So for the last cut on my album I thought

I'd give it to y'all

And tell my brothers in the joint who's striving to do the same thing

That it is possible, man

Life is possible

Come on y'all, for the last cut

Let's do this right
