This is True
This is True
By Syier Strickland
Crooked smile can be better than the braces
Every day is a struggle plus all these fears we facing
And if you hood I bet you can relate
I know 10 year olds with five years probation
And life can be hard but only if you make it
Can’t even go to the to the gas station because the streets
Be wilding and I aint wasting no time
Young and getting it he was tryna make a flip
He was only nine running round with hollow-tips
But his days will end
Though like air the window listen to his story wouldn’t want to be
Be his friend though running round with a whole pound
Supper crack baby with an s on his chest
He said I can get more never settle for the less
When I make it to the top something like a bird nest
Dreams yeah he sold that pistol know he tote that
He said if they want beef I got the shells come get a tachoe mane
Young man going down the wrong path
Nice smart silly known to make you laugh
But he hanged around the wrong people bullets in the clip
Its like he tryna shoot a shoot a sequel
I’m like man wow how you
Get a desert eagle
but he was with the wrong people
