"22 Years Young"

(Verse)
Been living under the sun for 22 years young,
Knew I'd be the one since I swum in pop's cum,
Got alot done for someone who came from the slums,
But I'm still eatin' crumbs so the war still ain't won,
Though I feel like a juvie truly I've been through,
More horror than a movie watching even men be doing,
Locked up I saw niggas heroin shooting,
I popped up and saw gang member recruiting,
I got tough and didn't fall victim to their system,
Told some niggas God within 'em hope it sticks with 'em,
"Cause in my 22 years I've shed my fair share of tears,
And what's kept my head clear is knowin' I'm the king here,
Peace is all I teach to the streets,
'Cause all I see is niggas decease like Juice stuck on repeat,
My biggest fear when I sleep is someone pull out the heat,
And put two in my sheets before I even can peep,
I think of death too much it make me stress too much,
Guess when my friends set me up it really messed me up,
Made it through the stuff yeah I know I'm blessed but but,
Is it really a blessin' if your life always in question?,
I use these raps as confessions if not I'd fall in depression,
They track my growth and progression like tape used for measurin',
Only 22 but I learned some lifelong lessons,
Like girls use sex as weapons and don't abandon your brethren,
I'm no reverend I don't preach I just reach,
My young niggas in the streets over these hard beats,
I'm from the bottom there'd be whole days where I couldn't eat,
I'm from the mud my life dirtier than baseball cleats,
So don't speak like I'm too young to know real pain,
Real niggas do real things and ain't no fake in my veins,
Top Bill is the name CMG is the gang,
Only 22, mane, and I'm runnin' the game
