letra de becoming - arrested development

i know i will
become the best i can
become the best i can
become the best i can

9 years old, my momma and daddy already divorced years ago
now it’s just me her and joe
joe is her boyfriend that wishes mom was a different race
cuz with his fist he put red all over her face
beat the breaks off her
i say something he’d beat me too
i said a lot he beat me often
took his fist and punched me dead in the jaw
he told me to tell my teachers i’m clumsy and i often fall
one day i had enough and i called 911
i could have went from 9 to eleven by the time the police would come
they rang the bell of this living h-ll
my momma ran to the door before i could myself
and what i saw would forever create a scar
momma bruised and scared told him that nothing was wrong
and it would be from then on i went to the streets got me a peace and earned some respect c’mon

i know i will
become the best i can
become the best i can
become the best i can
i took on everything in my life head on
even if it’s fights
my fuse was easy to light
and i was literally a stick of dynamite
my good times was nights of bl–dy faces from victims
i beat from not not looking at me right walking the streets the flashing lights
they got me
drugs in the car and an unregistered gun on my body
back to the prison it’s a party
i got more friends there than out here sad
hardly
but it’s been years if recidivism
what used to be black and white has become a full color prism
and now i got a daughter and she needs my wisdom
i had become the same joe that made my own home a prison
there’s a half way house i wanna enlist in
i’ve been sober i did a lot of emotional heavy lifting
but i know i have a gift and a heavenly mission
so i’ma get a new life by living life totally different

this is a mean world to try to live in
glory glory glory hallelujah

i will become a true inshallah
east african name for father is baba
i will not be an average joe
no not by far
i named my beautiful baby daughter baha
that’s arabic for splendid glory
i tell her, we all can make our own end to our story
our intro is just our entrance it’s chapter one
and we can make a clean cut like when an actors done. forward ever run
i know i will
become the best i can
become the best i can
become the best i can

i know i will
become the best i can
become the best i can
become the best i can
