Man I can remember it like it was yesterday
I mean sleepin' in that car every night doing my homework with a flashlight
Having to go to football practice the next day and having a game that weekend with nothing to eat
And at practice all I could think about was how many batteries I had in my left in my flashlight

If you only knew what I been through
To find my truth live by loops horns and flutes
They ain't got a clue
What it's like to be true to yourself and stand on a square
And life isn't fair my mother was a teenager
A California young Moorish Queen
Pushed out a bastard and system couldn't wait
They had a cage already assigned to my fate at any rate
Weaving through crack in these streets
My cousin he was grindin' but it didn't bother me
My family history was full thugs and killas
But to me we was all butterflies and why
Should I think any different when I saw Hook Mitchell
Proved to the hood that Jordan wasn't the only one
Riddles of poverty looking for some change
Anything just eat today
I heard a man say you come from west in the mother land
Where your family drew a map of the stars
We ruled everything to they came to colonize and that's were you got your scars
Yeah under your feet where you stand as a man
The first president he enslaved black men
And all this shit you use everyday
We created and the slave master claimed it

If you only knew what I been through
To find my truth sing to the loops just me and you
Just me and you
If you only knew what I been through
To find my truth sing to the loops just me and you
Just me and you, Just me and you

Yeah Never Give Up though
I know what is its like to be on that other side
The dark side
I wasn't until I realize that it was a battle within myself and nobody else
Then I stood and walked the path

I gotta find my way regardless of the pay
I don't want to starve no more communicate
No matter if they buy my songs I gotta flow
The mental poverty is consuming me I gotta go
Which explains all demos I sent to Mike Carren and Russell Simmons
Them mutha fuckas never listen to the authentic
Battle cry from a moorish child
Can somebody tell me how when I rock a crowd
They recite me with every word spoken
Who's the dopest they call me hopeless but its the focus
Making sure that I never need rap
To make a promise to my people to come back to the hood
And I'm comin' with no riddle we came to sprinkle the hood
With this knowledge and game mane
Sprinkle me potna I got my game from E-40

If you only knew what I been through
To find my truth sing to the loops just me and you
Just me and you
If you only knew what I been through
To find my truth sing to the loops just me and you
Just me and you, Just me and you

Finding your truth will not be in these clothes
It won't be in these cars
It won't be in this money
It won't even be in these songs of these rap artists
Its deep inside you real deep inside you
You gotta look for it
And it's gonna take a lifetime of practice
To be yourself
It can be scary
When you know yourself
