Riding my own wave

I’ve been paying for days

I’ve been praying for plays

I’ve been praying for change

‘Cause it all starts and stop in this city

No dreams for the kids

They living what they see on tv

Man you get ‘em

But when they cling to these streets

You can’t help but fear em

Open your ears nigga I hear em

Crying out for help

I think they’re lying to themself

Saying that they’re fine

Look at them I kinda see myself

I used to pray to get here

No father figure

Man the nigga didn’t care

But feelings for him aside

Momma the only reason that I’m still alive

The though of her barring the storm alone probably bring a grown man to cry

So these problems hard but I bare ‘em

Fighting demons

Coming face to face with my fears
