Weaknesses Phora

[Verse 1]
Yeah, sometimes I feel like giving up
Sometimes I feel I'm who they blame
Sometimes I feel like I ain't good enough
But I just look back at how far I came
Sittin' on my mama's couch, sippin' on a 40 ounce
All my family had was debt and overdrawn bank accounts
I never though I'd make it out, cousin tried to slang an ounce
Everywhere I went they always had shit to complain about
So I took my own route to see where life would take me
I didn't know much but I knew no one could replace me
All I had was music man and that's the shit that saved me
See this life is so crazy but I never let it change me
Cause the hood ain't never had our back
Streets ain't never had our back
Left us in the dust to rot what kind of fuckin' love is that
I rock my dirty Chuck's cause they was all I ever had
In junior high they called'em dirty looked at me and laughed
Couldn't sit with the kids with Jordan's all they did was brag
Made me feel like less than a man cause I wasn't popping tags
But momma said what you got inside is what matters
Now people ask why I decide to live my life as a rapper
But I ain't rapping I'm telling my story writing in chapters
I let my pen bleed on a page preach on the mic like a pastor
I'm past the bullshit and the drama, gave my life up to god
Just a story of a young kid fighting the odds
Look, yeah, gave my life up to god, just a story of a young kid
