Hopeless Boy (Explicit) - King Lil G/David Ortiz

Yo f**k rapping bragging

About the way you ballin'

Spray cans in my backpack

And I was starvin'

In middle school

With a trey five seven revolver

My family said I wouldn't make it

Now I'm grindin' hard

I dedicated this to the kids

Growin' up with no father

Believe me I know what you goin' through

I almost lost it

Ever seen a teenage boy

Whose feelin' like robbin'

That was me at 14

I was driving through compton

On my way to inglewood

I was thinkin' of nonsense

Somebody tagging on the wall

So I had to go cross it

Motherf**ker I had guns

In my mother's closet

The day she caught me

Tear drops started falling

Then she slapped me in the face

Looking brokenhearted

How the f**k do I explain

That my hood is stronger

Enemies is lookin' for me

2 in the morning

It's about the 2 weeks

And she still ignores me

I'm f**king up so much

As hate

That is building towards me

She's on the phone with my fam

Saying I'm disappointing

Saying I'm disappointing

Oh man I'm a disappointment

As I sit all alone with pain

I wonder

Will I ever see my mother smile

I wonder

Will I ever see my mother smile

Am I ever gonna see that day

We stop strugglin'

Will I ever see my mother smile

Strugglin' yea

Yo would you like to know

Why I was so troublesome

That eviction notice on my door

Made me hustle ***

I seen my mother crying

1999

My father left us behind

My feelings empty inside

I try to not miss 'em

Me my older sister

Carina please tell 'em

'Bout that f**ked up christmas

I had to go to school

Lying to my friends

Pretending I was happy

'Bout some s**t I didn't get

Fake smiles

Through the whole winter

I was cold wearing old clothes

And socks with holes in 'em

Gang members I was close with 'em

I was just a kid

They was asking me

To do some coke with 'em

I was broke

Man I rather sell some d**e with 'em

Road trips to the border to go get 'em

Young hopeless

Trying to get in to show biz

Hoping they would give me a chance

Nobody noticed

As I sit all alone with pain

I wonder

Will I ever see my mother smile

I wonder

Will I ever see my mother smile

Am I ever gonna see that day

We stop strugglin'

Will I ever see my mother smile

Strugglin' yea

Oh man you know what really

Trips me out is that uh

People really think I owe them somethin'

See I hear people talkin' all the time

But it's like they don't know the struggle

And the s**t we gotta go through

To get to where we are right now

But I don't owe them a d**n thing

Had to put my family trough so much pain

It's like everything that

I got right now I owe it to the family

Finally my mother can smile now

Oh yeah
