Killer Mike - Willie Burke Sherwood lyrics

rate me

No matter how good you want me to be…

Used to walk around with a head full of naps

Every young kid with a head full of raps

Doing what I can just tryna adapt

Jumped to the block up of grandma’s lap

Jump to the block so did every young …

But got it till the truth gave the block…

Looking forward…but the block was not

The block was real, wu got killed

Half a year later big spank got killed

And I got robbed, the … got shot

And I found my first…2Pac

And I got hard cause I was smart

I knew that the weak enemy couldn’t make it in the street

Had to search yourself to survive

So I convinced myself it was better for me

To be Jack in the lord of the flies

So book got read, books I read

Cause I’m addicted to literature

But as a young boy running round with the clip

Cause back then I was insecure, I was insecure

Cause I realized, ain’t no one for the civilized

When a …rumble in the jungle

And that’s why Simon and Pete get die

… but he lives changes, nothing the same

Should have drive a man out his brains

Drive a young man insane

My cousin Jimmy had a break down,

He ain’t never been the same

And he will never be ok

If I could fix his brain

Take back the crack in his mind give it all back

You can have the racks and fame

I’ll give it all back in exchange

This for the dads and grand dads,

And the lil homies that ain’t never had that

This for the uncles and the og’s,

And the lil homies, and the white g’s

This for the … and all the struggle that a man had to go too

For every man that never had the …

… let me see you put your hands up

I lost my youth, tasting my youth

Made me a youth in the back of a coop

Teenage love like slick…and I had a gold tooth

…she was light skin…

But of course it didn’t last

Cause I had to go to college and she was still in high-school

…this is bad, this ain’t good

My baby’s in the hood…

So I go get a job, …where they treat you like the ass

You all know how the story goes

Drop by the college it still says

… but, mostly I got … don’t stunt it o a nigga

… please boy grow, I wish I never had this show

I wish you never had to go

Wish you could meet my wife

Wish you could see my life

But you had to see the life

Wish I had one more day,

Wish I had a tomorrow, that’s your birthday…

This for the dads and grand dads,

And the lil homies that ain’t never had that

This for the uncles and the og’s,

And the lil homies, and the white g’s

This for the … and all the struggle that a man had to go too

For every man that never had the …

… let me see you put your hands up.
