I used to wonder was I worth it
My life was short of worthwhile
No moment picture perfect
Nothing to write home about
From the beginning
It started out rough
Stressin' I was guessin'
Wondering was I good enough
Times were tough, I think of how I grew up
I spent most of my time thinking I was a screw up
Moms was strict but I never listened much
I learned life was a bitch when Christmas kept missin us
Pops was out, he exited the picture
Never thinking ‘bout me and my brother and my sister
I remember all the stress filled days
Going thru a phase when I was young & afraid
And a peace of mind seemed like miles away
And livin' every day was the price to pay
But hey, in search for glory I found the guts
And summoned up the courage to make it no matter what
With luck, things changed slightly for the better
I pulled myself together, I had to do whatever
And thinking I was clever
I dabbled in the drug game
But the drug game brought me even more pain
I started smoking and drinking was never sober
And as I got older I learned that life was colder
And one shot it's over but that's the life of a soldier
When he's young and they don't give him room
Especially when they know he wasn't born with a silver spoon
Lies succumb to the facts
Life is do or die, ain't where ya from it's where ya at
In this book of life I'm still turning pages
I won a few battles but the war still wages
And though I pray for the calm
Ain't no escaping from harm
Since the day I was born, vulnerable.
