Background

Some stories you listen in on.

And, be, even if she trying to take and have a few dollars, it wouldn’t hate much.

Yet, hopefully, keep her from silly and slipping.

I flow for those ‘dro’ed out

I flow for chicks wishin’, they ain’t have to strip to pay tuition
I see your vision, mama
I put my money on the longshots

Rappers, y’all might feel we homies
I’m like, “Still, y’all don’t know me”
Shit, I’m tight grill when my situation ain’t improvin’

It’s the hard knock life for us
It’s the hard knock life for us
Instead of treated, we get tricked
Instead of kisses, we get kicked
It’s the hard knock life!

I don’t know how to sleep, I gotta eat, stay on my toes
Got a lotta beef, so logically, I prey on my foes

   • Sometimes you think that you want to disappear when all you really want is to be found.
2. Megalomaniart
   • I was a rape baby. When I met my birth mother she told me this. I wish she hadn’t. I just don’t know what the benefit was for me to know. So, please don’t call her a rape baby – she’s your daughter regardless how she was conceived. That label is not necessary.
3. Art & the Lost
   • My best friend was from a rape. Her biological mom was almost killed but still had her. She was adopted. My friend helped me with a lot and im thankful daily that her biological mom didn’t abort her. She will be just fine and know your daughter is here for a reason. Her friend may need her. You are so young.. you got this! Xoxo
4. Li’Maren Kudaibergen
   • This was therapy for her. To have someone listen, without judgement. My heart hurts for her.
5. Victor Boyd
   • When she described her two kids as her “oldest” and “the ‘r’ baby” I lost it and my heart sank. To think that’s how she correlates her child.
     • Kamyris Kay
       • And she gave the little girls full name and birth year.. u just cant be more loving than that! Smh  ( Shaking My Head )
     • Lost
       • Well she’s probably suffering PTSD and is probably reminded of that incident every time she looks at her daughter ( which isn’t her fault). So ofc ( of course ) she correlates that baby with what happened.
