Lyrics
Verse 1:
I've lived through the struggles of an underleasoned teen
Through the controversy of "why rap your white?"
But it's fuel to feed off of their envy and greed
The prospect has come through the genetical seeds
I've elevated the game since Restricted arrived
Seen my mystikal side with skills that could leave Jada deprived
But I thank god that I'm still alive
With this pen and pad I'm able to express myself from inside
I'm not here to lie, just express the truth
To give ya'll an introspect of my journey and my motherf*** ing roots
Feel the pain converged in rage
Yes Rateds here to convey
Hip-Hops greatest stage
In the form of a page
I've sinned and lied
Rateds grinned and cried
Fought the demons inside
No more thinking of suicide
I'm finally using my mind
Shut down in my prime
No more commiting those crimes
I don't want to be living that life
When you grieving at night
Cause nothings feeling right
When you wake up and fight
Over the stupidest things
I'd rather compose and sing
Over some snares and a string
To conjure hair and some bling
But with time I will be noticed
You can tell by my emotion
Restricteds strictly focused
I'm so strict that I choke this
Disappear like Pocus
Pray for what hope is
Cover and try to cope this
It's time to focus
Hook:
I've lived through the struggles
Why can't ya'll see that
If you don't believe that
Close your eyes so you don't see that
I've survived through the struggles
Through the pain through the rain
Even though I remained sain
My emotions are drained
Verse 2:
How can you look at me the same way
Knowing what I've endured
Going on day by day
On welfare we're poor
Didn't have a father
To show me how to be a man
So I went to the streets
Where they lended me a hand
They kept to my back
Gave me a gat
So I stayed strapped
Thug loving till I was introduced to rap
So I found a new way to express my truth
Now you'll see what my dark side has hidden in roots
Show you what it's like
To be ruthless cold hearted
Show no love for another
Coming home to my mother
To show her how much I love her
Though we live in the gutter
She's all I need
To survive through life
I would give my life
Just to perserve her life
Her privileges and rights
Angels guide her through life
I pray long through night
That I praise you right
Cause you raised me right
Watch this angel take flight
Hook:
I've lived through the struggles
Why can't ya'll see that
If you don't believe that
Close your eyes so you don't see that
I've survived the struggles
Through the pain through the rain
Even though I remained sain
My emotions are drained
Verse 3:
Can you invision my soul
This worlds divisoned my whole
My hearts colosioned by volts
I've froze like I was losing my pulse
I grab the razor with rage
Smear my blood on the page
Dont undersiege the stage
Of youth taken under age
Lifes taken a few bends
Alcohol has taken a few friends
Deaths taken a new trend
It's all coming to an end
For Z
I miss you B
Your soul will never be deceased
I've mourned you on my knees
My love for you has been increased
To all who were taken by death
I'm speaking through breath
To show that your spirit is left
And in heaven there's no regrets
You only get respect
Though we still cherish you
I still dispise your parish dude
Spit a verse to vibe with you
Not for me to die with you
Not inspite of blues
It's the road I choose
Knowing that Hip-Hop died inside of you
Your heart was true
You pulled through
And when you died my heart grew
I knew it was you
As I watched the doves flew
Outro:
Shout out to Z RIP
