I wanna make a declaration
Listen to my recitation
Some my words may come with hesitation
But dont judge me Child

Like so many, I came from a family full of lies and deceit,
Some times we had no food, I didn't starve
No Water and No Heat
Deprived of a yearned knowledge,
My black eager mind went off to a college.

I learned in the classrooms about what happened on the street
But dont judge me child

I smoked blunts, smoked out of bongs
Then pushed the bottle away
Ran out of cigarrettes
Then it was back to smoking..........HAY!!!!!!!!!.....
In the middle of my dorm room, damn fool, no pass to u

Dont judge me child

Many nights I faced one, faced two
In stages one and stage two
of depression learning no lesson
I wish I could pray to God to help me with Rejection

Dont judge me child
Because............

I wanna make a declaration
Listen to my recitation
Some my words may come with hesitation
But dont judge me Child
