Im guilty of everything they say I do

Dear ma. These are things you didnt know: Im sorry; I let the streets take your baby from you. Ma, I know I do dirt But it aint because I am dirty But since I was a little one I never felt worthy I know I got skills But Id rather smoke and chill And I wish I could tell you how I really feel About what I wanted But turned out to be I went from being your little angel To acting like a complete stranger I use to come home every night Now when I leave aint no telling when I am coming back At the age of twelve, I joined a gang And since then my life aint been the same I been shot at, so I bought a pistol and shot back I got robbed once, and since then I robbed three I never have, but rode in stolen cars Been in a high speed chase, wreaked it and got away When I was sixteen, I got locked up four times I aint been seventeen six months and I am already on number two I know this is not the life you planned for me Ma, but life is full of choices I just chose the wrong one I guess See to me time is precious, and since I dont know how much longer I got I plan to live my life to the fullest Before it is too late Yes I do wonder 24/7 how you feel about me deeply to have ambition And slowly see it slipping away, wanting to help, but not knowing wat to say What I turn out to be Ma, you did your job And I am sorry, I let the streets take your baby from you.
