Lyrics
[Chorus] x2
wishin' for the stars, hard when their leavin',
now you heated, wasn't part of the agreement,
but you'll never understand, never understand,
you'll never understand, never understand,
livin' this life til it's up, your depleted,
problems rush, tough love and it's needed,
but you'll never understand, never understand,
you'll never understand, never understand
---
[Verse 1]
Ever since I was young, a chump like your change,
I been tryna make it over the humps of the game,
some just never change, place me in the category,
another sad old story, writin' up letters like scategories,
and you can battle for me, f*** the stress it's caused,
over-obsessed and flawed, done tryna test the laws,
arrest and stopped, the rest is needed or it's history,
and I can barely breathe, reach for the antihistamine
it's the dream to become rich and famous, aint it?
til Sam claims it and you become an angered plaintiff,
and you get insane with the frustration provided,
suicide bomber's mind, tryna f*** the nation inside it,
but there's too much pride in yourself to reach that,
so sneak past until you end up in rehab,
and I should go too, I drink til I'm f*** in' trashed
you relate to what I say but you'll never understand

[Chorus] x2

[Verse 2]
Little girl got bruises on her right arm,
now her pipe dreams are turning into pipe bombs,
'cause her dad's an alcoholic who works a night job,
and when he comes home he expects the lights off,
conserve electricity, same ol' song and dance,
til' one night she fell asleep left em on then slams,
the door behind him, awoke seen a problem, ran,
but couldn't get away, grabbed by the palm of his hands,
she was backed against a wall, slapped in the face,
fell to the ground and collapsed on a vase,
this sh** is goin' on and we won't realize it,
bad parents, instead they say rappers promote violence,
and it don't silence you can ask Don Imus ,
the racist turned it on rap and media critized it,
I won't be blinded, I see threw blocked views,
Karl Rove wasn't indicted now he's on Fox News

[Chorus] x2

[Verse 3]
I use to say my biggest problem was growin' up,
now it's drinkin' alcohol 'til I'm almost throwin' up,
tryna get a sober gut, but, when I sober up,
it's like depression's got my head in a cobra clutch,
and I'm worried got my head in a flurry,
that life could pass me by when my vision's blurry,
surely it won't be I'm promised, how do I know that's honest,
when I'm sick enough to vomit drinkin' a gin and tonic,
Iconic I want my status, be noticed like a patch is,
'cause I aint afraid to get my feet wet like a baptist,
still won't dunk on me if the balls in my court,
success, still remember when I crawled in my fort,
as a kid, of course, when things were stress free,
going to Little Dukes for candy I'd be di-gest-ing,
I just think back, wipe tears with one hand,
thinkin' it'd put a smile on my face, you'll never understand

[Chorus] x2
