Spider Hill, did dirt, played around got hurt Back, back, back in the days when hand me down shirts Was what I used to rock Cousins, aunties, grandma all under one rooftop Now lets continue to talk If my bike broke down I continue to walk Steal a bike from the park use it for parts Mr. Get-It-Together Id eat soup with a fork And thats the way it would be If you couldnt get it legit then get it for free Still I never had much too many mouths to feed But I stayed content cause they fed my needs And thats for sheezy my neezy We go hard because nothing comes easy In this world of shish you gotta go for self Been poor before now Im going for wealth No one said growing up would be easy Just had enough food to feed me / believe me Shared a bunk bed with my brothers beneath me You may not believe me / its not like TV I wasnt living in no Cosby Show Had 12 mouths to feed and only one stove Africans on that long quest for more Im a living testament that the world is yours Had to move on / I had to grow up Had to get it on my own / and showem whats up Tryna drive big trucks, escapades of escalades I grab the mic and rush the stage Had to wait / for the days like this Seems like yesterday / I had ackee and salt fish For breakfast / yo I miss those days Those rainy days / Im glad that they passed away Povertys Paradise / is that its found in despair No heat, no food, no pain, no care Come if you will to my adolescence Where, Spider Hill, was where we represented Its kind of crazy what we take for granted Never asking our women how they manage Many nights Momma cried herself to sleep Torn between fees and the mouths of her seeds Divide the pay / but whatever you do Make sure Shamarie got some lunch for school Single parent syndrome / when the man aint home They do the best they can to raise us men I used to stare out my window and drift away Wondering why you stayed in JA Time will tell and what time has told Playa bundle up cause the world is cold
