Born in Heaven
Bor-bor-born in Heaven
You was but I wasn't
Handed nothing but the skeem of an American dream
Surrounded by those who are most obscene
Living life to the extreme and
Seeing the worse as a teen
This is reality outside of your T.V. screen
Late nights hear them bullets fly and a scream
Just hoping I won't be the next guy to look up at the sky
Blood and concrete are very common on my street
Look in my eyes and see if you can hear my heart beat
I was handed a shovel and told to dig for my own oil
Dugg hard enough to find the diamonds were in my own soil
Worker ant compared to those who can't
I'm taking the music and fame don't act like you don't already know the name
were nothing like the same cause
You was born in Heaven and
I was handed nothing
You was raised (given) in paradise
My area wasn't half as nice
Took chances and I had to roll the dice (2x)
Growing up I ain't have much but my father's love was just enough
Lost moms young and had to learn how the world was tuff
But there's another woman who made sure
my heart wasn't sore and for that she is adored
And I was running wild (that's for sure) not doing it for the style
Staying undercover to avoid juvenile
Started loosing friends afterwhile
In disbelief got myself stuck mentally in denial
Walking these streets, makes it hard to smile
Gutter raised surrounded by bar wire and razor blades
Life back then was similar to a maze
I wasn't supposed to make it but that's a broken recored that plays
Gotta get up and keep pushing even on the hardest of days
Ghetto kids know the biz and can relate
To do what it takes to put food on the plate
No silver spoon so we was running wild under the moon
You assume we do it out of wickedness
You'd do the same if you was stuck in this
But what would you know being
Born in heaven and
I was handed nothing
You was raised in paradise
My area wasn't half as nice
Took chances and I had to roll the dice
You was born in Heaven and
We was handed nothing
You was given paradise
Our area wasn't half as nice
Took Chances and we had to roll the dice.
