i want to reflect on the horrid life i used to live
please respect those with misfortune b4 you listen in
the downfall began with finding things too fast
had the goody good image but i knew it wouldnt last
infiltrated the "cool kids", was neck deep in quicksand
concentrated on causin trouble, with no ones reprimand
started out like everyone, did a little this a little that
parted ways with good ppl, just became another stat
traveled off to college and the real world spit me out
unraveled in my center and let addiction trick me out
now its 7 years later couldnt tell you all ive done
how the hell did i make it out healthy from the slums
i know aboui t having to beg 4 money and sleepin in my car
try thinkin bout your past and how ya made it this far
appreciate what ya have and dont ever lose your since of pride
at least ya aint under ground or holding an "i need money" sign
cherish your possessions and scale back on all the stressin
share us your confessions it will only lead to our progression
