There was a time when I was alone
Nowhere to go and no place to call home
My only friend was the man in the moon
And even sometimes he would go away, too
Then one night, as I closed my eyes
I saw a shadow flying high
Then one night, as I closed my eyes
I saw a shadow flying high
That young nigga knows what it feels like to go and get you murked
That young nigga knows what it feels like to put one on a shirt
He knows how to sleep at night even tho we put his son in the dirt
He don't never look excited, he gon' grin when it hurts
Dealin' got his momma on coke and got a son on them percs
His heart can't let him fear a man unless if he was born in a church
Jumped off the porch runnin round the corner he was nun but 13
Came thru her window had broke his virgin to a freak named Christine
And his day 1 told 'em we gotta get the paper or we gotta die trying
Now he know gettin' that money is a must but he ain't stunt his hygiene
Droped outta school was a must, deodorant he ain't get his degree
The streets got cold his heart got froze he started to slang weed (heat)
He had seen the opps he was by himself (5'7) but tryna leave em 6 feet
He didn't even know the niggas it was his partners smoke so its just like his beef
He fronted (befriended) the nigga just like a plug so its just like his smoke
But if he ran outta bullets he gotta reup 'cause he tryna get a score (scope)
He went to jail, his momma down bad on crack she always at the citgo
Muddy at the citgo, at the Gas station but he can't even make a store
Made bond then moved in with his bitch in a 2 bedroom apartment
Other room for the jr he nothing like a priest but he boutta be a father
He ain't have a way he ain't have a penny his life was just like harder
Hit a bag with penny hardaway but he'll never leave his warriors
Thats when you found out coke wasn't brown that shit was white as snow
'Cause the og fronted him a zip of coke he ain't want no sprite no more
Them folks had ran off with some dope and he don't even fight no more
Punch his old girlfriend popped 2 exes but he ain't fight no hoes
Caught a day 1 told him he got some shit gotta handle it just like a real one
He sent the pic but was with his kid and I'm like I don't even wanna exist
And then shooting a 40 had a extra dick like he ain't even wanna piss
He was in his bushes waited all night for him like a pair of Michael Jays
Gun a throwaway but its gonna get heated so he put it in a microwave
Blood on his arm he was tryna wash it took him all night to bathe
He a love virgin, no one ever showed him
That young nigga knows what it feels like to go and get you murked
