Lyrics My Tragedy - Smooth

Straight facts, Straight life
Whoever feels it knows it
(Ghetto life)
I done lost alot of friends to the gun, ever since then I started drinking rum
Losting love ones ain't no fun but I trying to change because now I have a son
I remember nights being on the run, my mommy calling me and asking what I've done
She told me "Smooth turn yourself in"
But I was young and not listening
Back then I needed discipline
And when you go to jail no friends visiting
In my raps I be going deep because many nights I couldn't sleep
1 bed 8 people deep, that's 16 feet, nothing in the fridge to eat
No fan so you know we in the heat
And I ain't ever had a dad my mommy was all I ever had
I used to cry when I see her sad
It's my time to make her glad and give her what she never had
My mommy know I love her bad
I refuse to lose my life to gang banging
And God blessed me with all this good talent
You might see me smile but inside I hurt
Because alot of people praying to see me on a shirt, wanna see me riding in a hoarse
From the hoarse to laying in the dirt
Like my young life ain't got worth, this whole neighborhood cursed
These humans living in reverse, before I snatch a purse I rather work
But I won't let them get the best of me
Because ain't much of them could step to me
I tryna get up off this Island, just to show the world I got talent
How could you judge a book by the cover,
2 sisters 5 brothers, no father just a mother
Many nights I pray to the Father, but I never got an answer
But I'll keep praying though because on day I'll make it out
And put my mommy in a new house, that's the life I'm about
R.I.P Muggy that's my lil bro, I remember nights being in the cold
We used to take your things whether you're young or old
Alot of friends done in the hole, I had to get my life together and try to do better
Because humans switch like the weather, my days be looking foggy but I don't really worry
One day it's gonna get sunny, you just can't be a dummy.
And this is my story, Only God could judge me.
