-I started out not a thought, just a seed that was swimming
Reflecting on the impact of absent fatherhood, the speaker questions the selfish acts of men and explores the consequences for the child.
Unconscious, father didn't bother, he's gon' breed with his women
-I'm unprotected from the start, how you think I'm gonna end?
-Don't you know you play a part, there's a message you send
-Give me a chance while I'm young, be a part of the mold
-I know the cycle, you don't like you, so your heart isn't gold
-I know it's tarnished, be a man about it, honor your promise
-The one you gave to momma when you knew she'd let you get on her
-Selfish acts of men, leave a child to ponder
Raising the question of whether absence truly strengthens love or if it leaves the child longing for a connection.
Does absence really make the heart grow fonder?
-And now I wander these streets, and I'm hungry for fam
Expressing the speaker's yearning for family bonds, despite challenges and the internal struggle represented by the rage within.
I love my momma but I'm still gonna need a bond with a man
-An exercise in daily cries for help, masked within violence
-And petty crime, there's no silence
-I'm all alone on this island, with all the rage that's within me
-And all the might that I'm faking
-I'm just a beacon of light, a soldier that's right for the taking

Describing the speaker's search for acceptance, involvement in a street lifestyle, and the allure of material symbols like chains and guns.
When the raps came and offered me this necklace
-Chains to signify, rep your hood, semper fi
-Got a job? Never mind, here's a gun, ever fire?
-Be a liar but I'm blind by the flash of the steel
-And the wire and the cash and the caps I could peel
Highlighting the allure of street life, with references to violence, materialism, and the consequences of choices.
I feel the stories building, like when you in your heyday
-And you got this AK that you used to spray, pray
-Mayday, you think you gonna get in great shape?
-With your lowly pay rate, this is fuckin' date rape
-These snakes in outfits, camo green, crip blue
Critiquing the military system and its impact on individuals, questioning the promises of fame and pride in the face of war's harsh realities.
Ship you off to Auschwitz, damn, they just tricked you
-The promise of fame, the pride of a man
