DIRT POOR Lyrics

Who can I trust when I got history with bad karma?

Fighting pains and traumas

We were young pallbearers damn homie I'll pray for your momma

I blame the world for the pain it placed upon us

We didn't know so much

We were never showed no loved

There was no hope for us

My emotions I was told to never go and open up

Survival of the fittest

Dreams and nightmares pushed a youngin' passed the limits yeah

Fork in the road, got them boys taking wrong steps like they pigeon toe

I was working overtime when they did the bare minimal

Never mattered whether summer heat or shivering cold

My friends turned to foes

Some smoking laced blunts, turned to fentanyl

Jealousy turned to hate because I didn't remain the same, asymmetrical

All I know is stick to the principle

Cause I never bend, break, or fold

Now as I lay myself down to sleep

Pray the Lord my soul to keep

Know my angels are watching me

As I walk this road, as I walk this road

Who can I trust when I got history with bad karma?

Fighting pains and traumas

We were young pallbearers damn homie I'll pray for your momma

I blame the world for the pain it placed upon us

We didn't know so much

We were never showed no loved

There was no hope for us

My emotions I was told to never go and open up

Survival of the fittest

Dreams and nightmares pushed a youngin' passed the limits yeah

I come from the bottom baby boy coming up off the streets

Went through sorrows, trials and errors, running from police

I don't know about tomorrow, empty bellies, family deceased

That's the problem when you coming up from poverty

We don't live so properly, can't be government's property

Got these demons still haunting me

I was so lost and hopeless

Man I gotta stay focused

I remember days we were homeless

That shit had me voiceless

Cause it was embarrassing telling my friends my apartment door had eviction notice

My momma hurt deeply, my pops and brothers worked weekly

My little siblings had me concerned deeply, cause we didn't know where we were sleeping

I never ask for help cause I hate being needy

So humble if I saw you, would break bread I was never greedy

I pray to God everything falls through I hope you hear me, I hope you hear me, I hope you hear me
