I was out and about in the land
Greenleaf and longbeach, compton wandered the night with no home or a hand
I was forced to a fast real fast, two weeks carried 5 dollar bill in my hand
Big bro snuck me into the crib yes without the ok from the lord of the land
He risked it for me i'm indebted fast forward i write from pomona the land
It gave me a home yes indeed in exchange the streets took a whole lot of my mans
I'm screaming from dreams eluding the shooters who hopped out to take me from the fam
What it i told you the road to recovery bumpy but part of the plan
What if I told you the healing that's happening inside is what make me a man
What if i told you betrayal can happen right after I gave all I had
They left me on fumes, empty
I'm running on fumes, wont stop me from all that i gotta do
I'm unbreakable too, here are the tools to use
I don't advertise no no no no lie
What if i told you you what if i showed you that
There's another side we'll get there if we gotta cry
What if i told you you what if i showed you you you you
I know that you probably relate
Sometimes the place you was born it's better to find an escape
Itty bitty city that made you that's giving you all the hate
But you feel bound because it's hometown so you stay
Living in this cold world
Diamonds, gold and white pearls
Try to dim my light
That get you excited
Stay away from these girls
Don't let nobody ignite it
You the only on that can write it
You the only one that was fighting for yourself
Oooh baby don't get caught up trying to keep up
Baby don't you let your flesh lead you
Girl live your life cuz it's the best teacher
It's other sides just keep it in mind
I don't advertise no no no lie
What if i told you you
What if i showed you that there's another side we'll get there if we gotta cry
What if I told you you, what if i showed you you
I apologize you were told all those lies
What if i told you you
What if i showed you that there's another side, we'll get there if it takes all night
What if i told you you, what if i showed you you you you
