Transformers

We went from being a broke man,

To being a joke, man

From saling crack in the music,

To being a coke stand.

We went from being a nobody,

To being the president,

We went from being in poverty,

To owning 6 residents

 

We went from being in war with others

To being in war with one another.

From fighting knuckleheads in the streets

To fighting our own brothers.

We went from making life longer,

to influencing it to be shorter,

From following our own guidelines

To being everyday transformers.
