 At the age of eleven to crack cocaine I was addicted (addicted)
 Tryna hide it from the others
 People noticed all of the symptoms (Symptoms)
 Fam and friends hurt everybody around me was afflicted (afflicted)
 Late nights sleepin' in class got in trouble in an instant (instant)
 And it wasn't before too long
 That they put me in the system (system)
 And to everybody, I knew no contact period
 They kept us distant (distant)
 I felt like a fish out of water just
 Left me floppin' and flippin' (flippin')
 I went crazy for a little bit cause it
 Really just had me trippin' (trippin')
 Just pulled me away from everything that I knew
 In less than a minute (minute)
 But for a while, they kept a brother
 In the same school district (whoo)
 And every adult at the school
 Was lovin' the words that Reed has written (written')
 Troublemaker but they know with the words
 That boy was gifted (gifted)
 But it wasn't always rappin'
 Started with poems to be specific
 And at the age of thirteen when I
 Really just started spittin' (spittin')
 And all I could think about was
 My fam like man I miss 'em (miss 'em)
 And all I could do was write on the nights
 When my heart was rippin'
 Had to ask the Lord why so many times why my mind conflicted
 Was everything a lie nobody on my
 Side man and I just couldn't get it (no)
 So I took all that hurt and pain and
 Through my music and started ventin' (ventin')
 Now everything in my notebook how I
 Felt expressed and written (written')
 Only had one true friend till the
 End all the rest of them just dissed me
 Nobody wanted to help they just
 Judged me so they can miss me (miss me)
 Don't regret the fact that I did it cause it opened up my vision
 To my past man, I just stay distant
 Cause the present is where I'm livin'
 Make smarter decisions ask God for forgiveness
 His love is authentic yo soul he's defendin'
 He's callin' you listen you payin' attention?
 Distracted by the world and what they envision
 But it's hard not to follow cause the Devil makes it so temptin'
 I'm in the game now assistin' dishin' to all the children
 They need assistance perception is slippin'
 They holdin' on but not grippin'
 Know everything and won't listen
 Tellin' you so me you won't mimic (mimic)
 I'm just tryna make a difference not thinkin' that life is a privilege
 It's survival of the fittest (fittest)
 I done seen it go sweet turn sour
 Now it's bitter (bitter bitter bitter)
 On the vice versa end, I done seen dirt turn into glitter
 (Glitter) glitter (glitter) (glitter) (glitter)
