That's How The Story Goes

I'm tired of this poverty Like please let it be my time It gotta be Why these niggas all over me Like I can not trust none of y'all Please just let me breathe Nobody get close to me 'Cus I done been did wrong And seen shit that I done seen And that's how it 'posed to be Can't spend my time on shit that ain't getting me green But I don't even care no more I do this shit for Sequoia with the chipped tooth Walking down the hall they didn't know she was poor Me and Rod used to share shoes Yea my friends thought I had it but really I was sleeping in the floor Mama was stand up citizen But Daddy tried to make it by trapping and kicking them doors That's just how the story goes I do this shit for my lil bro let 'em know he can be anything he want to be I do this shit for my lil sis let her know she beautiful Girl you look just like me If I ever wronged then I wasn't taught right Can you please forgive me I try to right my wrongs I try to take accountability I had to break my family curses Now a young nigga writing these verses Still gotta hang sheets for curtains Some days I don't feel I deserve it Why the good ones get it the worse and Some shit I ain't talked about I'm hurting But I guess life ain't 'posed to be perfect And that's how the story goes And that's how the story goes Round and Round we go The way that I be spitting shit I had to go pro Now I'm 'bout to make it up to superstar mode Feel like I seen this before How many times my heart been broke?
