Arrested Development Video (MV)

Way before my adolescence, I had 12 on mind
I was 6 when I had witnessed dead bodies they crying
I didn't understand the weight of it until I was 9
That's when my sensitivity to violence declined
See I was 7 when my best friend snuck me, I popped him back
And I was 8 when my cousin was macking behind my back
Say I was 10 when I was angry enough to catch a body
Probably 5 when torched that cig like I'm Scotty
Eagerness to prove I was the man, chased him with the knife in hand
Television guidance and self provision, slight of hand
Thinking I had found the way, opposite of heaven gates
Good works to reciprocate, drowning to find water way
About 11, my heart blocked, love constipated
I'm unstable in my ways, I think I'm needing some saving
Now they hear that and believe I'm a disciple
I gotta seek my own revival, clockwork turned its a cycle

Felons on the melon, 9 in hand before 5
In the morning and we zoning not afraid to go outside
Factual depictions of the sketching we contrived
Painting pretty picture of true crimes to feel alive

In elementary teachers couldn't check me threw me on that adderall
Told my momma something's wrong
Her boy was not a normal child
Always acting up, had more fits than an athlete
Guidance counselor, visitation almost every week
Young black male barely got to see his pops
Pent up anger and resentment from his head down to his socks
I was always down for an altercation
In the hood throwing haymakers
Out front straight rocked my neighbor
To be honest probably did him a favor
Back then I was a bad boy
My chest always stayed puffed, now I stay up

Felons on the melon, 9 in hand before 5
In the morning and we zoning not afraid to go outside
Factual depictions of the sketching we contrived
Painting pretty picture of true crimes to feel alive
