I GREW UP ON THE ***** SIDE OF NASHVILLE.

FOOD STAMPS AND GETTING MONEY JUST TO ****.

AINT NOBODY SELLING DRUGS NO MOE(MORE).

THEY BREAKING IN HOUSES AND ROLLING WITH THE THUGS YOU KNOW.

MY ONLY DESIRE IS TO GET UP OUT DA HOOD.

BUT WE DONT WONT TO LEAVE OUR FAMILY CAUSE ITS ALL GOOD.

WE GETTING MONEY AND WE STAYING AWAY FROM THE POLICE.

BUT THEY TRYING ALL WE WANT TO DO IS BE RECOGNIZE.

PUT YOU IN MY PLACE SEE WHAT I SEE OUT OF MY EYES.

YOU DONT KNOW WHAT A YOUNG BROTHER BEEN THREW.

BUT IM GONE STILL  BE HERE NO MATTER WHAT HAPPEN DUDE.

IM GONE MAN UP AND, KEEP MY HEAD UP AND, PRAY FOR BETTER DAYS.

IM GONE DO WHAT I WANT TO DO NO MATTER WHAT THEY SAY.

CAUSE IF LIFE GIVE YOU A CHANCE MAKE THE BEST OF IT.

CAUSE REMEBER THIS, AINT NOBODY GAVE YOU NOTHING.
