Caught up in this life, it's a sad story Lost in the pain, feeling so sorry I've been through the struggle, seen it all Growing up fast, had to stand tall No father figure, just me and my mama Hustling for a dollar, trying to find some honor But the streets kept calling, temptation was strong Now I'm trapped in the cycle, can't break free from wrong Every night I pray, asking God for a sign To lead me out this darkness, help me redefine But it's hard to escape when you're born in the fire Surrounded by violence, it's all I admire
