Back in the days I went through so much pain
Had to fight for a change
But I never believed I would still breath

Til this day I found my own way
I'm tryna stay positive
Cause that's my way that I live today


Back in '96 my mum dissapeared
Remincin back how hard we used to live

My dad was tough, he never showed us love
That place wasn't a home, I had enough
Stepmum was a (*##$ but more like a witch

Evil is not even the word to describe what she did
Now I'm sitting down and thinking
How I made it well if I wasn't so cold

I think I would be in jail
I was patient, bit my tongue, wanted to run
But I stayed fought til it's done

My gun was my mic
And the beat was my aim
Music kept me safe and got me out of this game

I wanna thank Anxious set me free
Introduced me to the beats, got me off the streets
Never wanted to leave, but you told me to go

Don't ever come back, til you find your real home... whut

Back in the days I went through so much pain

Had to fight for a change
But I never believed I would still breath
Til this day I found my own way

I'm tryna stay positive
Cause that's my way that I live today


I remember the time when you stayed up all night
Worked so hard for me and I can't believe I never helped you
I feel so bad but you never gave up

It's real love, I know we argue and fuss
When time gets real tough we drink till we get drunk
Then we laugh and smile till we get tears

I love you mama I can't believe it's been 10 years
Since we met I can't forget, don't be upset
Cause I can really tell you that you regret the times we cried

Stepmum, she lied cause she told us you don't really want us by your side
I was brainwashed till the day I had a dream about you mama
God showed me the scene, I had to find the truth

So I looked for the signs, I still can't believe mama is back in my life

Back in the days I went through so much pain

Had to fight for a change
But I never believed I would still breath
Til this day I found my own way

I'm tryna stay positive
Cause that's my way that I live today


That's the way in the man today
Cause I really appreciate
My hard life, now it's alright

I gotta my family with me
And we all tight
Yeah but sometimes I feel like no one understands me

Maybe it's a land down under %#@!
It's only here, people are weird, they kinda disappear
They got 2 sides of friends with different atmosphere

They use the word love and trust when they lie
Like don't you love me or trust me baby I'm your guy
When you fake it, do you think you gonna make it

You're lying to yourself
Man I can't even take it


Back in the days I went through so much pain
Had to fight for a change
But I never believed I would still breath

Til this day I found my own way
I'm tryna stay positive
Cause that's my way that I live today


Yeah don't hate, don't hate
I'm only being real, words from the heart
I told you how I feel
I told you how I feel

Break it down
