Everything I Wasn't

It was thought in back of my mind
That made me wish that my mother would die
Cause instead of getting me fly, She chose to get high
So instead of wearing Jordans had to wear them Filas, Man fuck it she tried
Got my jeans from Forman Mills I always wanted Levis
Used to think I lived poor until I went down Lehigh
And saw my cousin eating out the trash damn he shot
I was thinking in my head like this can't be life
Why it's roaches in the fridge, in the cereal box
Early morning plucking roaches out the Cheerio box
I was forced to sell drugs nigga
I had weight like Terio got
I experienced a lot foreal, Lil look at all this time me and you invested
Fuck the fame fuck the money man we got a friendship
You was there when I started you'll be the one I end with
And we can both run for that money like we in Olympics

Life is just a gamble and I took a chance
The streets turned me to a man
Everything I wasn't made me who I am
Everything I wasn't made me who I am
The streets turned me to a man
Life is just a gamble and I took a chance
Everything I was't made me who I am

Coop, remember all the times I came to you short
Remember all them quarter ounces I bought
Remember Dot used to sleep on my couch, and he would wake up early just to get ports
And he would come back, and you would ask him to save your short
I still think about the summer I tussled with Nelson
I was stuck in my feelings
I told myself if I saw him drowning I wouldn't help him
Til' one day he bussed his gun off for me, then I realized I was being selfish
Free my nigga Don I feel his pain
I text bitches all day and forget to write him I feel ashamed
I ask myself what kind of friend am I, I portray this image of being real but really live a lie
Picture me rolling picture me stunting
Get my little sister that bike that she always wanted
Get my G-Mom a Rolls that come with a chauffeur
And she can ride around the town like she Phillip Drummond

Life is just a gamble and I took a chance
The streets turned me to a man
Everything I wasn't made me who I am
Everything I wasn't made me who I am
The streets turned me to a man
Life is just a gamble and I took a chance
Everything I was't made me who I am
