Lyrics It's Yours - Tyrone Briggs

A product of what the government caused
Exposed to shoe box money and guns in the drawers
From where you can't show your weakness is one of the laws
Sleeping with no mattress taught me to cover my flaws
We was poor, so my mother budgeting by our means
But then Ecko Tees, ain't helping my self esteem
Niggas in class wore throw backs
Rocawear jeans and Jordan's
Compared to fashion, education didn't seem important
My peers had drug priors
Mask and gloves, dictating bass like they umpires
Whether you were using the drugs, or were the suppliers
Last person that you wanna see in court was judge Myers
Niggas hate Judge Myers
Moms prayed to god he gave me some options
I could indulge in what I see on Brabant and Lockman
Or I can go pursue my dreams, doing this rhyme shit
Me and Flu had the potential with no one to guide it
Older niggas knew we was gifted
But we didn't have a somebody to help us with out vision
Brook took us to Dee and hit up Neight then it was written
Neight drove me through the hood
Told me that the life I want is based on my decision
He said

You want the life thats predicted than it's yours
Twenty three hours in prison than it's yours
Become another statistic than it's yours
This type of shit that happens every day I
You want the fame and the riches than it's yours
Cars with the bad bitches than it's yours
Mansions, white picket fences than it's yours
I'm in pursuit
Mom's prayed to god, he gave me some options

My side of SI's treacherous grounds
People tried gentrify it and got swept out the town
Where they more out of bounds than geometric
You better shape up
Cuz if a square try angles dudes will let off a round
My rich white friends came to school in drop top benzes
And if they dropped out they can work for they fathers business
Type of opportunities wasn't aligned for niggas
Either a bullshit job or did a crime to get it, so
Shout out my bro's, Blaze, Greedy and Pugie
Got knocked for how we built economy in this country
Went inside for bids
Did they time as men
Changed they lives for they kids
And now they getting clean money
Just some prime examples
In this life, I'm not given anything I can't handle
Try to make the right choice when I got the chance to
Don't ever over throw your vision
This life is what you make is based on your decisions
It's yours
