What You Know?

What you know about that sugar on the toast nigga Cut the lights on, the roaches scatter across the floor I've been hanging by a thread on the hope nigga F*ck my circumstances I hear circumstances might hurt your chances They dream and re-live every failure I feel nobody understands me, don't understand me Y'all my family's damaged, my family's damaged Fucked up and went to prison, no we couldn't have planned for it My cousin drinks too much and I be popping pills Nobody is perfect, still got holes to fill Never had a father, never learned to love Glorified the streets like money was enough What you know about that, what you know about that What you know about that, what you know about that My daddy gave up, I gave up with him My mama said I'm just like him, I ain't like that But I ain't say a word, my actions is how I fight back Started in the basement, I ain't even have a dollar I just had a dream, I've always pictured where I'm going The struggles are real, and nobody is helping And young boys is dying over misperceptions And we are more concerned with which fighter to bet with Man I lost my brother, six years ago Can I cry yet? Can I shed a tear yet I'm just glad I got to go and pay my last respects Daddy a deadbeat My cousins hate me Mama was patient I'm mama's favorite Get for my family, for my family What you know about that, what you know about that What you know about that, what you know about that What you know about that, what you know about that What you know about that, what you know about that What you know about those hard days, them cold nights Stressing, trying to get right When the rent's due No one I can call on, who to repent too This pain that I done been through Stress is part of my mental Arrogant that's the issue I hope I didn't offend you If I did then press the issue, f*ck it I've been ready to go since I came out mama's womb That was back in '94 Don't evade your fate, just accept it But these days they'll do anything to feel accepted Why does America fail to look at the bigger issues Then creates laws that intend to be misused We avoid all our problems by creating distractions Spawning reactions from the citizens paying their taxes A democracy? Whatever that is We do barely enough to rotate on earth axis Problems with Kim Jung Un got us ready for war Bombings in Syria, will Russia come even the score? I'll sacrifice it all, just to win a Grammy Just to win a Grammy I'll sacrifice it all just to win a Grammy Just to win a Grammy What you know about that, what you know about that What you know about that, what you know about that What you know about that, what you know about that What you know about that, what you know about that
