歌词：2XL. The Chapters.

Aye is the mic on
C?mon man
I woke up this mornin?
Thinking a lot bout my life and all that
Thinking bout the goods
And some of the bads u know
So I grab my brother and wrote our life novel
Her it go

[CHORUS]
This is the chapters
The before and after
The good the bad the pain and disaster
The chapters
Don?t want to speak my mind
Bout my hard knocked life in this book of mine

This is the chapters
The before and after
The good the bad the pain and disaster
The chapters
Don?t want to speak my mind
Bout this hard knocked life in this book of mine

(ROYAL)
I woke up pops was gone
Young and confused in a broken home
Motel skipping motel living
Rooms about the size of a hotel kitchen
(Hold on) I been around the block
The year of my life been a round my pops
The years of my life
I remember nights
Home this with my brother on December nights
Then mom got sick
Lost her head
A PHD woman with a lost career
6 months to live she could barely walk
All my friend call her dumb for the way she talk
So I thank God she alive today
I sit the night I pray she don?t pass away
But that incident
Grew up in my mind at that time that my heart had innocence
So this so that
My only cats saying Ro this smoke that
Life on the room track
At school with the rich
Still broke kicked out of there for the ish that I pitched
Back to the block
I saw drug abuse
Teenage rape that happened a lot
2006 the time had come we were signed
This is story is chapter 1

(Listen)

[CHORUS]
This is the chapters
The before and after
The good the bad the pain and disaster
The chapters
Don?t want to speak my mind
Bout my hard knocked life in this book of mine

This is the chapters
The before and after
The good the bad the pain and disaster
The chapters
Don?t want to speak my mind
Bout this hard knocked life in this book of mine

(LAZE)
Now we closer to our goal
But still not quite there
Friends grew up
Their ma
Still cry in tears
Couple lost dreams
But I knew some way to work
That?s as how false it seems
05 came
The year passed away
My best friend had two on the way
Into abortion that was the best for him
But in the miss I lost respect for him (sawrry dawg)
After that my nigga Jay had a seed
His baby momma refused to take him back
No Job he can?t make a stack
Anotha victim of the street corner
He turned to rap
How to walk
Before books of life
Still broke
Living ?round the rich
So I pitched
Went to school but I ditched
Kicked when I was 13
Got a grip (ya happy) (oh well)
Back to the chapters
This is the truth
I?m giving you before and after
From my older brotha hooked on the pipe
My only role model snortin on the white
This man of the household
I got out so
I was young I was still without dough
Is only right that I rap the truth
So there it go our life that?s chapter 2

[CHORUS]
This is the chapters
The before and after
The good the bad the pain and disaster
The chapters
Don?t want to speak my mind
Bout my hard knocked life in this book of mine

This is the chapters
The before and after
The good the bad the pain and disaster
The chapters
Don?t want to speak my mind
Bout this hard knocked life in this book of mine

This is the chapters

So there it go man
The before
The after
You know all in between
Take out howeva positive you want but negative don?t
But we had to give it to ya?ll
Oh yea trust me there a lot of more to come
Stay tune
