Mistakes

You see I changed up my perspective As adolescent working to perfection Striving to be the best so fuck seconds Learning lessons bussing bottles Filled up wit this beverage Made me stronger as i'm stretching my memory of recollection I remember time family figures wasn't present I reached out to the streets in return they gave me a Desert Said I can make this money just run a couple errands  I was moving work not knowing before the age of 11 See many people judged me I say that they was jealous Envy reigned among me and I refused to ever let it Would dream of making millions billionaire at 37 Neva fond of snitching it was written there is no redemption Kept my mind focused never switching up direction Wit cold steel beside me I needed my protection I turned to rapping writing these lyrics like every second Turning vocals to documentaries of a legend come on You are the potter I'm the clay so mold us Everyday they preach the gospel to these vultures It's just the life we live as King Cobra's The streets turn boys to men Men into soldiers eh And we don't ever break for no-one No No No No And we don't ever break for no-one No No No No Now look I wasn't perfect Miseducated on purpose Learned everything on the surface Where danger was often lurking A child of the ghetto  Raised to walk wit a bop I'd always listen and watch While looking out for these cops hey I tried to pave a way while drinking all the pains away Some days i often fade away put this life on lay away From day to day i would complain Bout how i'm drained and work restrained But money makes a man and i guess i was made the prey Listen a cold winter night I was knocked. Tryna make a lil bread so we mask up and riding out  I didn't sleep in three days The reason in my mind just replays as cops ran up on us three ways I tried to run but cold steel i'm facing it was a trap they had us cuffed up and we was taken Hit with three felonies awaiting arraignment We got that case dismissed My God is gracious Aye You are the potter I'm the clay so mold us Everyday they preach the gospel to these vultures It's just the life we live as King Cobra's The streets turn boys to men Men into soldiers eh And we don't ever break for no-one No No No No And we don't ever break for no-one No No No No Looking back at my life Shit I thought id be further than this If i listened i wouldn't have to be goin through this No food in da crib Workin wit scraps perhaps i could change it all  But shit like i said perhaps Nothing to do with nothing to lose  Fuck it i'm rude Loosing my job and my girl was cutting me loose What a bafoon as i thought lookin in da mirror Touching scars on my face as my body shivers Attempt to get up lookin round me  dusting off the litter My pockets empty  guess the victory was kinda bitter I tried to grab my gun but it slipped right through my fingers And each door was closed I passed through every room i entered Then it dawned on me picturing what i remembered A shots fired through my head which broke  the mirror.  I turned around and saw a man who there had on my get up His eyes rolled back  I highly doubt that he would let em You are the potter I'm the clay so mold us Everyday they preach the gospel to these vultures It's just the life we live as King Cobra's The streets turn boys to men Men into soldiers eh And we don't ever break for no-one No No No No And we don't ever break for no-one No No No No You are the potter I'm the clay so mold us Everyday they preach the gospel to these vultures It's just the life we live as King Cobra's The streets turn boys to men Men into soldiers eh And we don't ever break for no-one No No No No And we don't ever break for no-one No No No No You know mistakes are meant to be its like its like destiny And to learn we often have to make em Its what you do after you make your mistakes What path you choose makes you who you are and how you are And no matter how hard you try you can't stop a person from making mistakes It's all a part of this learning process we call life
