Thoughts flood my head, While my vision turns red. Do I give up on my dreams, End up in the penitentiary, And lose my fùcking sanity? Man, I could've been legendary, But this life isn't sanitary. I hate how the money is dirty, But my system is still clean. I just had a convo with the Dean, He telling me I gotta go soon. My mother thinks I'm a loon... I needed the money bad. I wanted everything I never had... Drugs stuffed in my mattress. My old lady turned out to be a fed, And an outstanding actress. I'm a menace I'm so heartless. I got all of that good shìt. That shít that makes the pain go away. Sold drugs to pay for tuition. Dope boy playing your position. You were on a dangerous mission, Then police put you in submission. Please make a redemption. You won't ever be a exemption. The justice system is flawed. They got you in grown up detention. Son, you could've done better, But you fell down like a feather, Bombarded with stormy weather. I pray for your soul sometimes. Son, what the hell are you doing? I needed the money bad. I wanted everything I never had... Drugs stuffed in my mattress. My old lady turned out to be a fed, And an outstanding actress. I'm a menace I'm so heartless. I got all of that good shìt. That shít that makes the pain go away. I hate myself for the pain I've caused. I just wanted to win in this cruel life, Now I'm taking the biggest loss. For a while I thought I had the sauce, But I didn't even know the recipe. All I can depend on is my family. I got caught in Memphis and Miami. I'll bounce back because I am me. Why give drug dealers more time, When the ràpists and their crimes? It's because which race is more likely to do a crime... In my cell all I do is contemplate. I really could've been great. When I'm out I'll clear my slate. I'll be contributing positively, To our fùcked up society... I needed the money bad. I wanted everything I never had... Drugs stuffed in my mattress. My old lady turned out to be a fed, And an outstanding actress. I'm a menace I'm so heartless. I got all of that good shìt. That shít that makes the pain go away.
