Becoming ft. Configa Lyrics

I know I will

Become the best I can

Become the best I can

Become the best I can

9 Years old, my momma and daddy already divorced years ago

Now it's just me her and joe

Joe is her boyfriend that wishes mom was a different race

Cuz with his fist he put red all over her face

Beat the breaks off her

I say something he'd beat me too

I said a lot he beat me often

Took his fist and punched me dead in the jaw

He told me to tell my teachers I'm clumsy and I often fall

One day I had enough and I called 911

I could have went from 9 to eleven by the time the police would come

They rang the bell of this living hell

My momma ran to the door BEFORE i could myself

And what I saw would forever create a scar

Momma bruised and scared told him that nothing was wrong

And it would be from then on I went to the streets got me a peace and earned some RESPECT c'mon

I know I will

Become the best I can

Become the best I can

Become the best I can

I took on everything in my life head on

Even if it's fights

My fuse was easy to light

And I was literally a stick of dynamite

My good times was nights of bloody faces from victims

I beat from not not looking at me right walking the streets the flashing lights

They got me

Drugs in the car and an unregistered gun on my body

Back to the prison it's a party

I got more friends there than out here sad

Hardly

But it's been years if recidivism

What used to be black and white has become a full color prism

And now I got a daughter and she needs my wisdom

I had become the same Joe that made my own home a prison

There's a half way house I wanna enlist in

I've been sober I did a lot of emotional heavy lifting

But I know i have a gift and a heavenly mission

So I'ma get a new life by living life totally different

This is a mean world to try to live in

Glory glory glory hallelujah

I will become a true inshallah

East African name for father is baba

I will not be an average Joe

No not by far

I named my beautiful baby daughter Baha

That's Arabic for splendid glory

I tell her, we all can make our own end to our story

Our intro is just our entrance it's chapter one

And we can make a clean cut like when an actors done. Forward ever run

I know I will

Become the best I can

Become the best I can

Become the best I can

I know I will

Become the best I can

Become the best I can

Become the best I can
