I know that it's easier said than done
But I refuse to be the product of you
I gotta stop it
I guess it's all left up to me
(no no no)
I remember when the phone calls stopped
I hope you know that my life kept goin'
Man the struggle never stopped
We out here struggling while you flexin' your wealth
But when I asked you would always "hell no" it
Cnd there's hell for it pay I often wonder what it cost me
Mentally, I'm a-stray, and I don't wanna be yo' offspring
Emotionally, I'm left stained by the spillin' of yo coffee
Cnd I see you've tried to change, but the damage left me salty
Cnd I don't know how to maneuver
I'm left with this rope and it's tethered to you
I'm raising my kids with no tutor
Cnd I don't want them to be left with this noose
Cnd I'm never raisin a loser
I'm helpin em do what they destined to do
I look in the mirror to see how I'm doin' with hopes that I'm not a reflection of you
I was raised in College Station no don't ask me I ain't crippin'
Was the first to finish school I got 2 masters and a business
5 kids, a gorgeous wife, and they ain't lackin' in my presence
I built my whole life tryna undo the damage I was left with
I'm Moses nigga
I know that it's easier said than done
But I refuse to be the product of you
I gotta stop it
I guess it's all left up to me
(no no no)
I never ever wanna be like you
I don't ever wanna be like you
When my mama say I act like you
I swear to God I go to change it up
'Cause Im not you
