-tell me what you think...
The Beginning
Well, let me tell you how it all began
Keep an open mind and try to fuckin understand
I was only ten and dirty, goin on thirty...
Too much responsibility at such a fuckin early age
I was trapped, hands and wrists tied up, stuck in this cage
Couldnt fuckin breathe, knew i had to get out
So I followed the only path I knew and took the nigga route
Soon as I did, everythin became my fault
I was always to blame, even for my dad's assault
That's correct, I dont mean to infect you with my words
But he beat me, so why am I bein thrown to the curbs
I just needed someone to be on my side for once
But no one wanted to help, so here I am smokin my blunts...
They try to tell you, since birth I was a problem child
And that I should just be left alone, cuz I'm too fuckin wild
Well, when they look in your eyes and say it to your face
Tell them I'm your fuckin prize and they dont have a case
Tell them theyre just wastin theyre time, cuz you like what I say
And as long as they aint convictin me of a crime, everythins A OK...
Maybe if someone would have just given me some advice
Told me to keep my head up and always think twice
Then maybe I wouldn't have thought killin was all dat fuckin nice
Maybe I would have done somethin beneficial
Instead Im on the run, hidin from the fuckin government official
People always treated me like I wasnt the same, like Im different
Even my parents were constantly ashamed cuz of my experiment
Now let me explain, I really didnt think it would cause any harm
It was all in vain, as I beat her with her own fuckin arm
That's all it took and they were ready to throw the book at me
As soon as they were done, no one even wanted to look at me
See, they never taught me a lesson or told me how to behave
They never gave me their blessin, just made me their fuckin slave
They seem to think that Im to blame for everythin Ive done
But Im just a product of society, try treatin me like Im your son
Instead of these judges lookin down on me with their grudges
Teach me how to act, so I dont react with such an impact
But you cant, the world's given up on my innocence
So Im takin my violence to a new level of turbulence...
They try to tell you, since birth I was a problem child
And that I should just be left alone, cuz I'm too fuckin wild
Well, when they look in your eyes and say it to your face
Tell them I'm your fuckin prize and they dont have a case
Tell them theyre just wastin theyre time, cuz you like what I say
And as long as they aint convictin me of a crime, everythins A OK...
Now dont take my words out of context and look at me with hate
Im livin my life as best I can, Im just in a different state
You mother fuckers created me and all of my fuckin controversy
I aint gonna change, so you better adapt to my ways
Im gonna be singin and representin for days and days...
