BLOOD...sweat& tears/Hood L!f3....(internal thoughts)

So much joy and pain in my heart
Realizing that I made it this far
Knowing that my dreams are still yet to come
(______'s) a bitch, stuck up and whatever else they say
Not taking in CONSIDERATION the struggles and fights
I broke through each day

The seed of children in their own right
My father left me a bastard
Knocking himself out of his own fight
My mother was the queen of the city
Diving in the glamorous life
Being prissy and sididdy

Drawn to the money the labels, the life
Failing to realize that
Things of real value come without a price
Adopted by a kingpin of the streets
The bloods real o.g.
Young and naïve, infatuated by the heat

The materialistic life, queenpin of a dynasty
Got into so many squabbles THE HOOD NAMED ME scrappy
I became a fiend, a hood queen
Baking bread making cheese
Flossing, SELLING DOPE AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN
“TIME IS MONEY HONEY” IS WHAT THEY ALWAYS TOLD ME
BUT THEY NEVER TOOK THE TIME TO EDUCATE OR MOLD ME
OH AND DON’T GET ME WRONG I’M NOT A DUMB HOE
I STAYED IN THE BOOKS AS MUCH AS THE STREETS
TO MAKE THAT DUMB DOUGH

Living with stacks upon stacks upon stacks
I was paid in full, and in reality I was paid & fool
Now I’m here making it, breaking the cycle
Making the way for my brothers
So they don’t live the same life as I did

The fight of my life, you see
I went from fighting for my life in the streets
For fighting the streets for my life
Then that was it I seen it, the light
God called and said, (_____) there’s another way
No longer must you stray away from
Your beauty, your talents, your worth
You’re a ruby like they say just hidden by dirt

So (_______) what you gonna do
You got all the girls in the hood
Looking through the window at you
Imitating and depicting everything
That you’re going through

Look…LOOK AT YOU
G’d up from ya feet up
Riding past young kids doing the same as you
Doing ANYTHING FOR A GUAP
BUT WHAT?!?! I DIDN’ GIVE A FUCK
I DID WHATEVER I HAD TO DO
TO MAKE THE FAST BUCKS

AND YEA I KNOW, YOU (______)
YOU JUST CAN’T BELIEVE IT
IRAN AWAY FROM IT FOR BETTER
A NEW LIFE I CONCIEVED IT
I CAN SEE IT, I BELIEVE IT
A RUBY TURNED TO DIAMOND
AND YES YOU SEE IT!!!!!!
