I chose to be like me because I chose not to be like you...

You know who I’m talking to and, why I’m talking too...

They say that without you there would be no me...

I say that without you, here I stand nigga, all of me...

A father, a dad, a friend, a man… that’s my pedigree...

A gangster! Naw, that’s what I used to be...

Abusive and violent, negative and wild...

Living as a savage, dirty and foul...

I learned how to treat a woman by administering pain...

Lying, cheating, never stealing but driving them insane...

Using this penetration tool as a weapon to seek and destroy...

Killing that poo nanny, Killing that poo nanny, Killing that poo nanny…

Been doing that shit since I was a boy...

Had no clue, no awareness, no preparation, and no idea of what life had in store...

But you knew from day one what this shit was hitting for...

You knew that without guidance, you knew that without love, you knew that without support...

You knew that without knowledge the world would chew me up, spit me out, and leave me for dead...

Yet you kept it moving, saying fuck me instead...

Had my first real fight on the street with a woman standing by my side...

Where the hell were you when time came to ryde...

I assume somewhere giving me reason to retain these inside cries...

Raised by my mother whom you know already, and by my father, the neighborhood I will love unconditionally...

I’ve become the opposite of you...

A better version, a better quality...

New and improved type of dude, with a swag you wish you had...

I am the future, the next generation...

While you, you are the past the next extinction...

Remember my name and don’t ever forget it...

For I chose to be like me...

Never lame, never frigid...

A soldier, and if that’s a crime then to the jails shall I be committed...

You’re weak and inconsiderate, selfish and ignorant...

Strange like a mutant, a germ that’s allergic...

A relationship at this point, would only be worthless...

Back then you kept yours, and now I’m keeping mine...

Distance nigga, hard to find...

So when you acquire the time to do so, don’t drop me a line...

I got a family to look after, and we don’t fuck with your kind...

If you ever came around; there would be a lot of frowns...

As a matter of fact, if you ever came around, the shit would probably go down...

Something like, Le’onidas defending his crown...

Oh this shit is sound...

Some would say it’s the loud...

Because when I think about it, I sit back and smile...

Joke about the shit because it’s funny...

Remembering me as a child...

I almost fucked up and put on your shoes...

But I fixed that real quick nigga, I don’t wear nothing used...

Especially the belongings of whom I choose...

To never be like, because if I do I lose...

And that’s the headline of today’s news.
