• life was never easy
    growing up in the ghetto was a major struggle
    i remember starvin in the hours of the night
    momma worked hard to grab us a bite
    my father was never around
    momma always told me stories of how he dont give a s**t bout us and use to beat her
    even though we where in really tough times ,
    momma always said she'll never give up on me or my little brother
    and that she loves us very much even though our father doesnt .
    but momma had bad times too .
    i remember hearing her argue and scream from under my covers ,
    i always dreamed of what it would be like to be those kids with moms and dads ,
    with nice houses , driving in their beemers and bently's
    to have a good education
    not struggling or depressed about what we dont have ,
    but momma always told me keep my head up and never give up
    so i appreciate the little i have
    and pray everyday life gets better for me
