Started off in the streets
People dying all around me
So I gave you my testimony
We were down from the beginning
When the world wasn't listening
Now that I got your attention
Let us end with the benediction
We are gathered here today
Paying our respects to bein' broke,
hope he's in a better place
Cause life out here ain't sweet, oh no
I would close my eyes to sleep
So I had to make a way for my home,
Now I'm in a place where I ain't
The good life, I'm done with the hood life
I did what I could didn't always do what
I should an d I was misunderstood
To hide how I felt, I would cry inside
And I ran through the streets
Cause I ain't wanna have my
shoes on them power lines
But I made it, and it made me
I pray to God he forgave me
Cause I made it, it didn't kill me
So it made me stronger, I pray to God that you feel me,
Started off in the streets
People dyin' all around me
he ain't out here stressin'
Tryna get to the good life,
and out of this hood life
I pray that my step- pops
So mama could sleep at night,
I know it's been hard on her
I was ripping through the streets,
When I was sleepin' on the
floor at the corner store
But I made it, and it made me
I pray to God he would save me
Cause I made it, it didn't kill me
So it made me stronger, I pray to God that you feel me,
Started off in the streets
pretty women on my premise
screaming "GABOS" to my nemesis
Gold around my neck I'm ballin'
for these sins I seek repentance
Shots fired, another gone,
Daddy sat me down and said: "that
Shake my head, roll up the window,
So much anger in these songs for these
A mastermind is one who's
feedin' others off his talent
I owe it to my city but it's
I'm in Holyfield's estate,
I gave that shit to Khaled
Thankful for my supporters,
everyone that ever bought us
Grateful for every lesson these by
Started off in the streets
People dyin' all around me
So I gave you my testimony
We were down from the beginnin'
When the world wasn't listenin'
Now that I got your attention
Let us end with the benediction
