Learn From My Mistakes

Learn from my mistakes before you end up here
 Life behind these gates doin' years and years and years
 Mama lost her son to a gambler
 Thugged out got me feelin' like the man though
 It is what it is, what I am though
 Never asked a soul for a hand out
 Sold crack to the task force
 Survivin' on my own didn't ask for it
 Just do it like Air Force 1
 Like cancer no cure for it
 Vandalized gotta a year for it
 Wrong choice now I'm here for it
 Sixteen got years on it
 Made it out the hood cuz I'm here homie
 By the iron, by the iron you get killed
 I lost a scholarship for a drill
 Forgot to spread the fakes and the real
 Should've took six for the deal

 Married to the money it was mando
 Itching for some healing need it pronto
 Vision gettin' blurry, eyes wide though
 Wont' get me far but in the pen or the ground though
 Couldn't slow down cuz life short
 Wish I could have paid my mind more
 Instead I was hurtin' my mom's
 Committin' these crimes, committin' these crimes more
 Wish I could have done right for I lost my granny though
 Now I feelin' pain coz I did her wrong
 I should have changed then not later on
 Got goons tellin' stories about me over phones
 Baby, he was shootin' this 'aint what he asked for
