RJ

Don't call me RJ, you don't know me like that
I don't trust you all the way, never will I matter fact
Way too many fake, put a pole to my back
Shot a hole in my heart and left a hoe in my past
Learned the hard way, life holds no class
If I learned one thing, heartbreak don't last
Roll another J, baby, pour me my Jack
All these comments on my page, I'm tempted to type back

If only you knew the pain as well as you knew the lyrics
What I overcame to get to where you could hear this
I hated that face I saw looking into mirrors
You wouldn't say what you say if we spoke just a couple minutes
All these character limits limit my character
Wish that you witnessed the pivots and rivets it took just to build the business
It slaughtered my spirit, that's something you can't stitch
I had to cauterize it shut with the fire built up within me

They say don't forget where you came from (came from)
Heh, it's harder than you would expect
You think a lost boy gon' forget where he escape from?
Tell me, how the fuck could I forget?
They say money talk, so when somebody wanna say something, well
They tend to smell it on my breath
I don't ever rest, only in peace when my day come (day come)
But it hasn't come yet

Work until I die, I'm purebred, blue collar
Just tryna retire mom and dad, give my roots water
No one went to college, only less than a few scholars
In my family tree so I'm I'm blessed to be fruitful father
Grandma prayed for a heathen and his youthful wander
Back when no one ever listened, I had one true watcher
Before a single follow, angels followed me to prosper
But I ain't even know it, no one did, who's Roger?
But I bet they know conscience
You don't know the kid with no friends you were stuck with for the project
The one they called a freak all because he sat silent
Too shy to speak, now they know that I was watching
Put my head down, teachers thought that I was sleeping
Told me pick it up and they could see that I was weeping
And they laughed at me, judged me, then partied on the weekend
While I sat in the dark 'bout to jump right off the deep end

So don't call me RJ, you don't know me like that
I don't trust you all the way, never will I matter fact
Way too many fake, put a pole to my back
Shot a hole in my heart and left a hoe in my past
Learned the hard way, life holds no class
If I learned one thing, heartbreak don't last
Roll another J, baby, pour me my Jack
We gon' celebrate the product of my past
