On My Own (Birth to Dirt)

This is one of my newer verses. I really felt good about this one, because it seemed to just write itself. I mean granted it didn't write it itself (lol). It just seemed so natural. Its kind of a small part of my life that helped define me now. I'm still thinking of a title. Maybe I'll get an idea when I come up with a hook.

I never really had much in life,
but I always had my friend, family, and a way with words/
i was frequently asked why my point of view sounded absurd/
cause I saw life from 2-70 degrees while hanging on the corner and the curb/
not to mention my mind was fucked up the liquer and the herb/
when you waist deep in the streets and don't much to eat/
the hard floor and your growling stomach can make it hard to sleep/
grey hairs at 16, little nigga with big dreams/
full of God given potential, but everything ain't as easy as it sounds and seems/
don't trust anybody's word, cuz it only leads to broken hearts and shattered dreams/
its a harsh world with cruel people, pretending to be cool people/
i stayed in school but never seen classes called intro to evil people/
just when you think you found someone to trust, shit comes back around to bite you in the butt/
took me 18yrs to learn I was born by myself and when the time comes I'ma die by myself/
I stand by my balls and my word and I rely and put faith in God and myself/
