You won't hear my brag about the struggles I endured as a kid
How selfish and ungreatful people got more than I did
I did my chores damn near went to war to be rich
They think its just a game cuz I'm throwed, more than a pitch
I lost a lot of teammates to jealousy and greed
Planted seeds and watched them get swallowed up by weeds
I'm tryin to live comfortably and have the things that I need
Its true the best things in life are free
But I got people in my face that are influenced by hate and pride
Hiding behind their ego's engulfed in lies
But I dont' walk around looking like my dog just died
I couldn't get rid of my smile if I tried
My face shine bright, you'll never see my grin grow dim
Even when I only had one friend
I couldn't dive into the ocean until I taught myself how to swim
But I ain't tryin to think about back then.
