Ever since I was a little kid

Kaylah McMillan

My mama was preparing me for bigger shit

Never really had the drip

Never really had the clout

Back in school I was a clown

But look at me I’m poppin now

My mama never had no doubts

Yeah I’m digging deep into my memories

Flipping through my history

My faith was out

Who was God a mystery

Didn’t pray to him

I prayed to me

where I’m from it’s a game

Of no more misery

Trynna get up off the streets

Who’s gon make it

Is it me

This music shits a gift you see

But I ain’t know til recently

I prayed to god

He sent a beat

Now tell me if that’s fate

Or G

I believe

He’s saving me

I’ll make it out

You wait and see

Starving

Hungry

Can’t wait to eat

I started off in poverty

Shelter homes

And a dream

My mama painted

Brighter things

Yellow rooms

It sounds extreme

But now it means the world to me

Those whipping that she gave to me

Trynna teach responsibility

So I could be a prodigy

Im gonna make her proud of me

I’m going hard no stopping me

They call me beast

And I agree

Imma gonna set my family free

I’m branching out just like a tree

This is our story

On this beat

I pray to god and

Bring the heat

foster care tried to destroy me

So I’m here to share the truth

Foster care didn’t protect me

Tore me from my mothers arm

Worked hard to shatter our family bonds

Now I stand here with an ask

To Repeal Mandated Reporting

That’s would be

A real child protection act!!
