Growing Up Where I Once Lived

I grew up dramatized by real life Freddy Kruegers -n- Michael Myers, police brutality, fast money, -n- if you ever crossed a man, retaliation was desired, matter of fact it was a must, mama whipped my ass, but she the one who taught me how 2 cuss, never cared when I sat at on the bus, where I lived, you became a criminal as a kid, mama had alopecia so she wore a wig, I was so ashamed 4 she smoked crack cocaine, but this was the norm where I lived, where having a father was a myth, so we sold drugs for new outfits-n-new kicks, picture being 12 years old -n- for a rock, a grown ass woman would suck your d*ck, this is some one’s mother, but she’s referred 2 as a pipehead ass b*tch, couldn’t go 2 bed at night unless I burned incense, I dropped out of school -n- left home early -n- started selling drugs, figured this was my fastest way 2 get rich and I did, these politicians ain’t sh*t, I’ll never snitch, did my time -n- came home, blessed 2 get out -n- not have life behind a fence, now I give back 2 where I once lived, so these kids don’t do what I did or live how I lived, it’s a sad situation, but it is what it is, when you grow up where I once lived, “I love you DC Uptown 4 Life, NW Baby :-)  Real talk.”
 
So I sit back
In my Benz and
I see myself in
So many of these
Kids tryna stay
Safe -n- make it
Out this bullsh*t
