lyrics
When I grew up options were limited//We were ghetto kids livin in
squalor dollars didn't exist//I know my father was bothered by what he couldn't give//I know my mother was worried about our innocence//
I Never blamed my parents for being poor they did their best//But dad became obsessed with paper//the prosecution rests//Daddy served a sentence, I gained power through sentences//We both gained knowledge through our experiences//And one day I'ma pass that knowledge to my little kids//Let 'em know that knowledge is all they need to be limitless//And that's why knowledge is always gon be my emphasis//The exodus To journey onto better whits, that's gettin rich
No matter where you come from//No matter where you are//No matter where you're going//You'll always be a star//We fight, we're children of the night//We're running toward the light//We're running for our lives
Some would rather do 5 to 9 than 9 to five//And sometimes I can see why//Cause either way you're doing hard time//Barely to get by//carrying or burying a generations crimes but We're gonna be fine cuz //We didn't ask for the circumstances that passed to us from the past but We'll be damned if We let them ruin our chance for a better future to have//We always trying to be stronger we always trying to hold our youth in our hands//We're always searching for answers we always do it with passion we're always trying to hold the truth in our hands//What really matters is what's written in the chapters of your book when God almighty holds the truth in his hands
No matter where you come from//No matter where you are//No matter where you're going//You'll always be a star//We fight, we're children of the night//We're running toward the light//We're running for our lives
Individualism has been the script I been pitching since I was 17 printing Isolate shirts on a setup in my parents garage//I had no idea who I was I was just trying to be someone other than Donnie because, what Donnie B was, was a bigger kid and it sucks being that dude that everybody's gotta prove something on//Middle school bruised punched in the nose the mouth and kicked in the nuts//With no support at home cause all of is were broken or young//Just hoping that someday I'd build a better world for my sons and or daughters that as a father I'd be open enough//Grown up enough to put them first and show them my love//Teach them to grow and be strong//Teach them to hope and to trust//I"ve got my dome to the dust beggin Jehovah to come//To save the broken and stuck from being broken and stuc//And if you open me up you'll find I'm soldier enough to pick the lonely ones up//We all need bolstering some
No matter where you come from//No matter where you are//No matter where you're going//You'll always be a star//We fight, we're children of the night//We're running toward the light//We're running for our lives
