Before the Anger, Love and Suffering.

0

[Intro]
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
[Refrain]
Where was you, where was you
When I was broke, had no home
Where was you, where was you
I was struggling on the low
Ain’t no food, Ain’t no food pot, not at home
Had me chase down the block, brodie whipin' up the pole (and)
[Verse 1]
On me now, (yeah) On me now
The devil, the demons, they got me they chasing down
I swear that they chasing down
I cry for help but nobody is going to here me now, the glocky going to gun you down
I had to fight for my peace like a soldier now but it’s feeling like man down
Oh, I couldn’t stand down, no I couldn’t stand down
I had to stand up for my niggas that hold it down, hold it for the squad now
Free my niggas in them chains, free Dylan now, he need money for books now
It’s Really for you to be a man now, I swear there's no hands outs
[Pre-hook]
There's no handouts, It’s too cold in these streets
There's no handouts, jug it nigga cus you know it ain't free
He got a strap now, boy walk around with a .223
Where are you now, when I needed most didn't do shit for me
[Refrain]
Where was you, where was you
When I was broke, had no home
Where was you, where was you
I was struggling on the low
Ain’t no food, Ain’t no food pot, not at home
Had me chase down the block, brodie whipin' up the pole (and)
