Boy to Man

I've been raised by the system
Since I was 16,
I ran away from home
Cause I thought my parents were mean.
I ran around like a thug
When all I needed was a hug,
I was doin da drugs, and drinking the booze,
I never ran alone, always ran in 2s.

One day I met this girl
And she changed my whole world,
I was ready to cut the crap and become a man,
I even stepped to the plate, asked her to take my hand.

But now I'm sitting on the inside,
Waiting to be with my bride,
I can say one thing, it's been a hellava ride.

Now it's time to change
And expand my range of knowledge
Cause all I want in this world
Is a family, wife, and college.

Now that's all I have to say,
so just keep listening up
cause I'll be back one day.
