From A Sucka To A Tough Mothaf**ka

Many times in life I've been played for a sucka
All the way down from my lovers to my motha
However, I've evolved into one helluva man
Trying times teach us how to take a stand

Learning to command respect with every step
No longer living in the past; rebuilding my rep
Pain crept to levels of catastrophic proportions
Mother insinuated that she should've had an abortion

Use caution when giving your all to others
It's not always appreciated is what you'll discover
Many move undercover with motives of mischief
I'm so thankful GOD blessed me with this gift

Cause I sift through my psyche on a daily
Helping me create this heartfelt poetry
It also exposes me to the tenth degree
By any means, I must escape my misery

Yesterday is history and tomorrow's the future
We must use yesterday's trials to build our stature
Emotional fractures are a part of maturation
Don't dwell in the valley; pursue your elevation
