Nobody thought I'd make it The world called me loser Just a high school drop out, young drug abuser Mama told me they'd be days like this I never listened Spent my childhood years in my neighborhood prison The world don't give a fuck about the kids I could see from the poverty and the evil shit they did To my young nation Participation more hesitation could turn lethal When ain't no love for a young nigga, he turn evil And burn people With no hope it's no peace 'Til all my niggas start regulatin' on your streets Bustin' the neighborhood scatters, another drug war They're ain't no truce or negotiatin' with thug lords Tried conversatin' but he won't listen He said the world is a livin' hell for Gods children Picture him still in the pen, doin' life plus two While I'm starin' at the world through my rearview...
Chorus:
I grab the mic and try to say yes yall Starin' at the world through my rearview... Mmmm...mmmhhh...

It's clearer now 'Cause I'm newer individual Not just a small time criminal Times have changed Homies died, only lies remained Massive amounts of narcotics help me hide the pain Wishin' on a Benz, came up on the Jag Then gotty out for quiet times, reflect on the past All my homeboyz that didn't make it For you I do it 'Member back in the days as young truints Uhh... tellin' me to beware because you cared Helped me to be prepared Cemeteries full of homies no longer here But what about the babies Lost and watchin' burglars Too dumb to be a dealer, too young to be a murderer I'm beggin' you God Don't make they're lives through... hard They're already scarred Too doped up to see the stars We livin' to die Everybody's high plus I'm high too Starin' at the world through my rearview... uhh...
Chorus:
I grab the mic and try to say yes yall Starin' at the world through my rearview Mmmm...mmmhhh...

Pictures are plenty Handlin' the semi Sippin' Henneey I hustle for pennies Know my own fear by many I watched and took notes as child I strategized Witnessin' crack dealers and drug killas, beggated lives Niggas don't know me but they think That we could be closer than homies nigga you phony so qiut buyin' drinks Mind on my money you're funny about my currency Niggas don't wanna see me... shootin' but they'd bury me Livin' to tell Prison is hell for a nigga they're usin' my bail Built bigger jails for a nigga Father forgive me 'cause I'm a sinner Livin' life as a thug while duckin' cops into criminals Homies is dead and buried past times are gone You ask why'd you click it?...'cause my mind is gone So when I die Then let me watch what we've been through Starin' at the world through my rearview...
