Becoming Arrested Development

[Chorus]
I know I will
Become the best I can
Become the best I can
Become the best I can

[Verse 1]
9 Years old, my momma and daddy already divorced years ago
Now it's just me her and joe
Joe is her boyfriend that wishes mom was a different race
Cuz with his fist he put red all over her face
Beat the breaks off her
I say something he'd beat me too
I said a lot he beat me often
Took his fist and punched me dead in the jaw
He told me to tell my teachers I'm clumsy and I often fall
One day I had enough and I called 911
I could have went from 9 to eleven by the time the police would come
They rang the bell of this living hell
My momma ran to the door BEFORE i could myself
And what I saw would forever create a scar
Momma bruised and scared told him that nothing was wrong
And it would be from then on I went to the streets got me a peace and earned some RESPECT c'mon

[Chorus]
I know I will
Become the best I can
Become the best I can
Become the best I can
