Untitled

This is my story
no fame, no glory
bad childhood
worse nothing could
be-here in time
learning to rhyme
teach myself
with a street dirty mouth
playing the shit
hate when I get hit
touch-don't do that
share a home with a sewer rat
going hungry everyday
have no time to go play
taught to deceive, to lie
live in fear, will I die?
no time to cry
no reason why
it was me
little and dirty
no shirt, no shoes
life's a game, I always lose
what's a dollar
hear brother hollar
'nother smack
now I'm seeing black
sweet bliss
unconscious kiss
everyday
it goes this way
when will it change?
Time to rearrange
now in a place that's strange
away from my home range
people saying they love me
why they do, I cannot see
bouncing about
like that fish, the trout
without water he will drown
with him, I'm going down
hit the bottom at fifteen
took a year, took a dream
rise above
didn't push, didn't shove
Now I fly
that's my
life story
filled with my own kinda glory
