Environments

I was shaped by environment, (Yea) I seen things I wasn't supposed to see (Yea) Wish I can tell you I was lying man. (Yea) But I am somewhere I'm not supposed to be (Yea) At times I feel like I'm too far behind (Yea) Like I ain't got all of the information (Yea) But I keep pushing until I reach the top, (Yea) I can't wait to see these niggas faces Real winners don't die, we just multiply I told you reach for the sky Real winners don't die, we just multiply I told you reach for the sky Real winners don't die, we just multiply I told you reach for the sky Real winners don't die, we just multiply I told you reach for the sky Dreams don't last like they use to, I seen a little kid running wit a deuce deuce I went to ask shorty, tell me what you lookin for? He said he lookin for his daddy at the liquor store He put his hands on my momma 1 more damn time, I swear to God he'll never see his grandsons His mind is polluted, and he don't realize how foolish he's moving We all gotta make sound decisions, We all gotta take how we feeling And channel that energy with the spirit Cuz who am I to tell a young kid who been fighting wit Some demons just to turn the other cheek when he see him? You know he got murder on his mind, I tried to keep him calm Finger twitching while the sweat dripping from his palm And just like that he took his life He don't regret it but he know it wasn't right I was shaped by environment, (Yea) I seen things I wasn't supposed to see (Yea) Wish I can tell you I was lying man. (Yea) But I am somewhere I'm not supposed to be (Yea) At times I feel like I'm too far behind (Yea) Like I ain't got all of the information (Yea) But I keep pushing until I reach the top, (Yea) I can't wait to see these niggas faces Real winners don't die, we just multiply I told you reach for the sky Real winners don't die, we just multiply I told you reach for the sky Real winners don't die, we just multiply I told you reach for the sky Real winners don't die, we just multiply I told you reach for the sky I came. I saw. Then I conquered. I knew this pretty girl that used to live in concord And she's the sweetest thing since lemon heads and starburst But way too many times I watched her get her heart broke I never understood why she was so promiscuous The only thing she ever wanted on her Christmas list Was a man in her bed, to temporarily take away the pain in her head Damn shorty you know you the truth, But I wish that you could see it for yourself That self hate will knock you off the shelf 6 kids later, 4 different fathers And you still on ya own tryna send 'em all to Harvard It's hard ain't it? Sitting all alone while ya heart aching Still got goals for yourself but it's too far ain't it? But listen, prayer will help Just trust an believe... Take care of yourself I was shaped by environment, (Yea) I seen things I wasn't supposed to see (Yea) Wish I can tell you I was lying man.
