Reality of Blame

every time I wanna point the blame,
I remember it's my own fault for where I've came.
as a young child so intrigued with the game, 
once I made that decision to follow my life has never been the same.

how I wish I could be that little girl over on Ostend street,
living with my grandparents with my whole life in front of me.
life as I once knew is gone, and it's all because I couldn't see

truly sucks when the time comes that one has to take responsiblity,
I was the one holding me back, my own worst enemy,
the destroyer of my own destiny,
I feel like i have been paying for so many years for childish stupidity, 
juvinille immaturity
and like Acon said " I am always gonna be a victim of these streets" , 
but mainly just a victim of Me!
