Outside Looking In

Don't you leave me

Baby

Ooh

Don't leave me

Leave me

No

No

I just wanna be you and me

Baby

Don't you leave me

Baby

A good kid

Raised in a world so tragic

Charm of his momma

And the heart of his daddy

Got his whole life ahead of him

He smart and he ready

With a crown on his melon

But it's hard and it's heavy

He was young

Under pressure

Love guns and aggressive

Too intelligent to be out actin' dumb 'cause he special

Went to jail at like twelve

Had his run ins with oppressors

And he stayed in situations

Like he made it his profession

Born over East

So we grew up on the Eastside

Had family on the Southside and burbs

He lived three lives

He shy but charismatic

Read stories in his free time

He had love for the savages

Way before he had the street ties

He was always labeled cool

He was always good in school

But he mastered bein' devious

Didn't like to follow rules

Used to hang with older cousins

They was like his sisters

Brothers

But he couldn't act like the youngest

They ain't cut him slack for nothin'

Doin' things they did as teens

So at like ten

He started *******

Wasn't from a broken home but it was hardly no discussion

He ain't learned the birds and bees

Only black stone with jeans

Family functions

All he seen

Was drinkin' Gin and smokin' weed

He ain't know they was misleadin' him

With all the shit they feedin' him

Dependent so he needed 'em

In a strange way they breeded him

For a cold world to be strong on his own

They gave him leadership

Set goals and had dreams

By any means

That he achievin' 'em

He barely spoke of anything

Ain't think no one believed in him

He'd learn fast

Circumstances turn 'em bad

Gained loyalty from his friends

Sometimes he felt that's all he had

It's all good

They havin' fun

Next year

They all dead

****** up his head

Vicious now that he older

Confident

He bolder

Bolder

Turnt into a soldier

A soldier

Hardly ever sober

Sober

Big chip on his shoulders

Shoulders

Rap sheet like a folder

Folder

Could feel the walls closin'

Closin'

He filled up with emotions

Still feel like he chosen

If they know

Call him

Golden

At that rap shit

He the coldest

But he don't know how to open

****

So don't nobody know it

Gotta find a way to show it

Thuggin' hard and he can't focus

This his chance and he can't blow it

Too much pride to ride a wave

Now all the stars won't even notice him

But he know he him

Fast forward with time

He on his grind

Now they all over him

Now the nigga s wanna be him

The ones that left

They comin' again

Now everybody want him to win

They wanna get in

Said he ain't gon' never stop 'cause he locked in

And he gon' make it to the top 'cause he locked in

His strong will and his mind

That's his only friend

Shit ain't easy but it's fine

Stay strategic with his time

Felt like when he picked up five

He just dropped ten

Took his losses to the chin

But he like

Not again

Most the Shit he ever lost in life

He got again

Open your eyes and see

That nigga was me
