But when she look into my eyes there's a feeling I get
I choke up it takes me back I wasn't hardly ten
Was just a kid in my room with pint up aggression
Had nowhere to take it out so started reliving the mistakes that my mother made
Shit she was still young too
Can I really blame you with the shit that you been through
My father caught up in the system and was doing time
My single mother struggling and was working nine to nine
So let me take you to a time I didn't know myself
I never thought I would be sharing this with all of you
But when you from a broken home and that shit surrounds you maybe you'd see the Situation I was going through
The only thing I know for sure is I'm not looking back
Never forgotten where I'm from but it's just not that
I'm obligated as a father now to run shit
I know I made some mistakes but shit who hasn't
You can't break me down
But when she look into my eyes there's a feeling I get
I choke up it takes me back I was in Arlington
Was just a kid in my room with pint up aggression
Had nowhere to take it out so I just kept writing
Never intended on the situation that you're in
But I promise you will never live the way I did
I won't accept the answers I felt like I'd never get
I'll give you everything in life I can possibly give
So many years passed by since I left home flat broke
I didn't have a pot to piss in and I lost all hope
The only thing I know for sure is I'm not looking back
Never forgotten where I'm from but it's just not that
The only thing I know for sure is I'm not looking back
Never forgotten where I'm from but it's just not that
I hope this will make you understand
But when she look into my eyes there's a feeling I get
I choke up it takes me back I was in Arlington
Was just a kid in my room with pint up aggression
Had nowhere to take it out so I just kept writing
I choke up it takes me back
So I just kept writing
I had nowhere to take it out so I just kept writing
I hope this will make you understand
