I remember shoot outs over necklaces
|
little debbie breaksfasts
|
Growing up in the projects, life stinks
|
drinking fifths of Hennessey to forget my misery
|
Struggling out here in these streets
|
Barely living in this world
|
and this world is just so hateful
|
|
[Chorus]
|
It's just so hateful
|
the kids are so ungrateful
|
and I'm no longer able to disguise my disgust
|
And I know they're saying
|
we should trust the lord will come and help us
|
and maybe I'm just being selfish but I've had enough
|
But when my song comes on the radio
|
i forget all my troubles
|
and for one moment I'm not there at all
|
No matter where in my life I am that's my jam
|
Said when my song comes on the radio
|
I forget all of my troubles
|
and for one moment I'm not there
|
|
I remember fighting with my babysitter
|
Life without no father figure
|
Searching for my daddy's killer, life stinks
|
Working jobs that I don't like
|
Cussing out God every night
|
For giving me this awful life
|
and it don't stop cause this world
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Yo I done been in a lot of street fights
|
Got a hood stripes but I ain't immune to pain
|
whether you are seventeen, black, white, gay, straight, or a lesbian
|
we all go through the same thing on one level or another
|
you never had a dad, had a part time mother
|
you had a good girl but you was too gutter
|
mommy got a man now but you still love her
|
some things just fall apart like some words break your heart
|
even if you don't admit it sometimes in the back of your mind
|
you really want to fall down and cry and never get up
|
but you gotta get up cause you gotta pay bills even though you feel like a loser
|
but you ain't a loser you God's child and cant nothing move ya
|
but when my song comes on the radio
|
i forget all of my troubles
|
for one moment I'm not there at all
|
no matter where in my life i am
|
thats my jam, thats my jam
|
when my song comes on the radio
|
i forget all of my troubles
|
and for one moment I'm not there at all
|
no matter where in my life i am
|
thats my jam
|
