I ain't come from rags to riches
But I fought for my life
I ain't get it out the mud
Got mental scars in my mind
Bags to wishes
Bags to wishes

Some will never know what it feels like
To be born with haters on you back
That's the price of being black
Hated despised and killed for nothing but sport
My mama told me to wise up or I'll wined up in court
In jail or dead
Those are my only options
Didn't matter if I was cautious
Education is seen as hostile
You resist then they fuck you up
If you lucky they lock you up
And if your bank is up
Then they kill you when you're docile

I ain't come from rags to riches
But I fought for my life
I ain't get it out the mud
Got mental scars in my mind
Bags to wishes

Got an education still living in hell
Got a debt to pay no different than bail
If I cant pay up I'm going to jail
Still working for the man
They sold me a dream that shit was a scam
Now living on low
Nine to five is my home
If this is where I'm supposed to be
Then hell I'm ready to leave
Mama told me to rise up when the world knock you down
Mama told me to smile and ill turn the world around

I ain't come from rags to riches
But I fought for my life
I ain't get it out the mud
Got mental scars in my mind
