Saved

If I hadnt gone through what i gone through i wouldnt be me,

I been through what  been through but this is still Lee, (nickname)

Im doing my best now because i can finally see,

the future that could be.

I can get a job and actually work,

instead of hustling on the streets calling myself a cerk,

living in fear that one day i'll get murked. (killed)

I aint tryna twerk, aint gonna need that dolla,

Grew up without a fatha, but my momma taught right.

Told me i was bright, that i had the sight.

But I was always insecure, never really believed her.

Let my head get full and it started to take a toll.

I was losen my soul i needed a pull.

And then it hit me.

So then i got my life right and thats why im here tonight.
