Out of the streets
He came from a broken home
His momma had a heart of stone
His daddy was always rolling blow
He learned all about the drugs
He made friends with the thugs
He started to get the street loves
He went to prison and found it wasn't worth living
His vision wasn't that he had no decision
He wasn't right so he had to change his sight
He got out and found out what life is about
His baby was a light so perfect and bright
His girl became his wife
He and his wife made a good home
His kids were perfection in a sum
His son never saw a dope
