[Chorus:]  I was three when my old man left in the wind  Pushed me in the ocean, turned around and said "swim"  That's what I did even though I was scared  I kept kickin 'cause a person only floats when he's dead    If I had one wish, It wouldn't be wealth  It would be that if we could just love ourselves  Cause every day it's like we kill a million dreams  and it seem everybody on different teams  I don't mean to get deep, I'm just speakin the truth  we in a two-bed traila with a leak in the roof  I ate potatoes every way you could ever make'em  When you're hungry gotta use your imagination  My mom did her best, she would hug and kiss me  Even though we had more fuckin mice than Disney  I still had some polo's and plenty new draws  While she was livin life with the same two bras  The lighting strikes like Garth say thunder rolls  Life is cold like an Eskimo in summer clothes  I suffa softly, but never let nothing stop me  And I miss my little girl like somebody shot me    [Chorus x2:]    I be prison made cross, fuck diamonds and jewels  Still flya then Jordan when he was runnin with bulls  So many shots had missed, so many cops was pissed  So many songs I have written in the past on this  It's a lot of impostas tryda tell you the same  But how the fuck can I explain, no one knows my pain  From the cord on my navel I was G from the cradle  I don't snort'cause they say that bitch Caine killed Abel  I'm not sure you understand it but I must express it  Santa Claus is on heroine, there ain't no presents  And Mom all this shit makes my eyes so watery  Now I understand why you tried to win the lottery  We gon' make it I promise, don't let the memories haunt us  I remember we was at the bus stop in pajamas  Tryna run from a home that brought so many tears  Bad luck like we musta broke a thousand mirrors    [Chorus:]    these lyrics are submitted by andres  these lyrics are last corrected by Jamie Dewolfe
