Once Giving Time

time again
  once giving time i realize that the world doesn't revolve around me 
i thought life was nothing but leaves on a tree 
i almost wanted to believe that i thought i was invincible 
but what i thought was not even credible 

once giving time i thought i can roam the streets trappin
runnin around wit the 357 cappin 
talkin to the hoes i thought i was mackin 
not know how them stds going rapid

once giving time my mom started crying 
because the thing i was doing and trying 
i cam to her and said ill stop
before i run out there and get shot then dropped 
dien laying on the ground bleeding 
moms on the ground face teared up beaming

once giving time i thought about these things that i have overcame
now i have alot of respect going around with or without fame 
this ish right here IS NOT A GAME
