We Ball - Young Pharaoh

I remember it like yesterday ancestors came upon me

I ain’t wanna change man they damn near had to force me

Do you know how hard it was to get em to support me

Strangers be like family, my own family ain’t support me

Now everyday we ball, at least that’s how it’s seeming

But how when this money ain’t worth shit or got no meaning

Brush burns from that pistol i couldn’t leave without it

Remy mixed with that lean i couldn’t drink without it

My mother brought me in this world but imma leave without her

I grew up without my parents I don’t even think about them

Got separated from my brother I couldn’t sleep without em

Trapping out the banded houses I was sleeping out em

I swear the streets was all I had I was eating out them

Nightmares about the feds I was dreaming bout em

Got used to dying in my sleep I used to dream about it

I almost died in the streets and that’s the thing about it

Should I take my own life I used to think about it

All alone in the streets nobody thinking about me

Remember feeling so much pain trying to drink it out me

All that anger and that rage it was breaking out me

Remember auntie kicked me out she closed her doors on me

I went to my fathers house he closed his doors on me

Grandma used to tell me boy you got your father eyes

Remember crying in that sell I heard my father died

I met this queen still to this day she comes to thoughts of mine

I felt her pain when she told me that her daughter died

I heard the doctor tell the nurse that I was going to die

Shit I stayed up all night just staring at the ceiling, waiting on the reaper

to show up but he didn’t

Wifey told me that she wrote me when she know damn well she didn’t

Blew trail called her phone her mother told me she was pregnant swear to god my

heart was broke I went to court my son was missing

Judge giving me my sentence i ain’t even listening

I spent a thousand sunrises in that penitentiary

I started talking to myself ain’t have no one to listen

And now they tell you that we Ball right, but how, when all this money don’t

mean shit

Yeah, pharaoh
