You ever been so hungry, with no food in the fridge Had to take another man plate, to put some meat on your ribs You ever been so broke,lights don’t work in the crib Had to use every dollar store candle just to see where you is Cuz where I’m from I done seen it all from the baddest chick,till she going through withdrawals Cuz where I’m from I done seen it all Homies blocking homies because he never got the chance to ball I done seen mothers cry when the rent came due Seen a young boy grow up with nothing else to lose Seen dreams get buried over dollar bills And a whole lotta talent never make it over the hills Seen love turn cold when the money got low Seen brothers switch sides just to get a little more Everybody got a story that they never wanna tell Some was trying to make it out, some was trying to make a sale
