Something that they afraid
To say all out in the Public
That′s why they make us the same
We just call it a different name
No I won′t give it no name
Unless it's going to bring change
When you′re going down the lane
Let me tell you my journey
It′s been a long time coming
Everybody′s got something
So won't you come along yeah
Might′ve been around ten when i got into my first fight
Twenty First street yeah i lived in Crimdon Hill
Man i learned the chamber black in mind back in Harrison
I was chillin with some young boss selling pills for a wilst
Then I'm river road being chased by a cop
And even with it closed or that bass gunna knock
It be drowning out the noise of someone getting shot down Broadway
A hooker right on every block
I remember when I heard it back at private school
All them little comments had a few
The teacher treated me like I was gunna be a criminal
Almost like they had a pre arranged funeral
Like where you from CAMDEN
I hated everything about it
but everything happens for a reason
and I be proving them wrong till the day that I′m gone
I was made in God's image so I had it all along
Let me tell you my journey
It′s been a long time coming
Everybody's got something
So won′t you come along yeah
You can follow me if you wanna
I can show you the liquor stores and
Come with me to the corner
I can show you the loners
I can show you the smokers
I can show you the stoners
This view aint meant for na
Loss miss got a youth corrupted by drug abuse
Daddy be on the juice til he drink himself into a coma
But what do you expect when your city full of threats
And the only thing they offer you is death
Neighbors coming for your head
Devil′s breathing down your neck
When your table lacking bread
It's whatever for them checks
Aint nothing good in a city full of savages
The Messiah comes from Nazareth
Even Jesus grew up in the hood
