My Story

Bright nights and there's dark days It's a struggle just to make it each and every day Too many people died trying to pave the way And they lost their lives just for shit to stay the same I never knew that life would be this rough Nothing you do is ever good enough I'm just trying to make it through this on my own But I got the devil trying to take away my soul aye I lost once i'll never lose again And I never break the rules but they tend to bend yeah Life is a blessing but its filled with sins And Pain and resentment are my best friends yeah Our society is making us weak How we got the freedom of speech but don't want us to speak And all my people come together and we marching the streets But the system was designed so it can't be beat hey This is my story This is my story aye Where does it begin Will it ever end This is my story aye Is it all in my mind aye aye In my mind And imma keep going til I die We gotta stay strong so our kids can survive This is my story Black white america These crackers killing us niggas But nope they still ain't scaring us We jumping over obstacles and breaking down barriers And they don't wanna help all they wanna do is bury us This is the world that we living in now If we at war with ourselves then who's the enemy now If america is great then why we living so foul And the government is trash But they expect us to bow uh I grew up without no places to go And as a kid we use to beg to take a trip to the store And because of where we lived they considered us poor But my mama wasn't stupid she was saving some dough And she saved enough to get us out the hood she got to see us graduate man life was good But then they snatched the rugs right from under our feet Because the system was designed so it can't be beat hey This is my story This is my story aye Where does it begin Will it ever end This is my story aye Is it all in my mind aye aye In my mind And imma keep going til I die We gotta stay strong so our kids can survive This is my story Lights camera action She practices for hours cause dancing is her passion She got a pretty face and her ass is the fattest And all the niggas love her so they steady harassing And all the girls seem to think she a hoe Judging her by her appearance and because she got dough But she love to dress nice she don't care bout them broads And she owns a dance school thats her professional job aye But as we all know man life gets hard They took away her dance school and turned it into a bar And now she got unpaid bills and they repoed her car But even that shouldn't change the type of person you are hey We gotta stay strong and keep our heads up high And put our faith in the lord and he'll guide us by So the next time they you that they can't be beat Just put your fist in the air and tell them wait and see This is my story This is my story aye Where does it begin Will it ever end This is my story aye Is it all in my mind aye aye In my mind And imma keep going til I die We gotta stay strong so our kids can survive This is my story
