A little piece of me

Another rap?

This one isn't as good as the last one. And it does not reflect me in any way, I was just getting into the rap persona XD

I'm struggling to stay me

Corrupt by fucking sin

Weakened by temptation with my Marlboros and gin

The hood life is the only life that I've got

With the coke whores tryna get a fix down the block

Or the sounds of another innocent getting shot

Or the sirens 'cause someone's tryna run from the cops

I dream of getting out

Making a life for myself

Having money on the side

In case my mother needs help

She's always been there for me

Tryna keep me safe

I almost hit rock bottom but I have her to thank

So I could never leave her

I'm just a phone call away

But I'm packing up my bags and heading straight to LA

I'm motivated to forget the world I was in

And I promised that I never would go back there again

That I would never feel the damage of the lies and the sin

Drowned in corruption, good thing that my momma taught me to swim

I'm treading water, struggling to get a view of the shore

I only caught a glimpse and now I'm desperate for more

My dreams are keeping me afloat

But they only get me so far

To become who you wanna be you have to know who you are

I was burdened by my hometown's corruption and sin

'Til I learned I have to control the life that I life
