Phillytheking - How They Raise Me (feat. Eirman The Vigilante)

Ah shit V let's get it, here we go with another one, let's send it to em
I never knew that this could happen to me, I got a good feeling that you are what I need
You won't see me on my knees, ain't begging you please
So I believe that you could just take it or leave

That's the type of love for me that you gonna receive
Cause honestly I love nothing more than me
Love yourself before you love someone else
Since I was young that's what they been telling me

Yeah that's what I used to believe
Growing up as a kid, even though I lived in the 406
People thought that I couldn't be who I be, I'm me
Like my actions were weak, just had to be

A product of my environment, but that's not what I'm supposed to be
You motherfuckers just can't believe
Seeing my parents as my best friends, they didn't raise me to be this way
In this situation, I just put myself in

But either way, it's all my honesty
I'm glad that I did, cause at least now I know who I am indeed
Let me tell you how my mom and dad raised me
Never to be lazy, be honest and good moral compass

Will get you more in life
Stand up for what you believe in and pick your battles
When you're gonna fight, stand on your own two feet
And what life has taught me is never to be lazy

Stay uncomfortable and always grow
Never to be complacent and stay in your own lane
Find your own road, this world is so cold
So stay positive when you've gotten them potholes

Yeah, it's all about the balance of communication and love
Number one rule, love yourself
And comparing something is horrible
Like my actions were weak, just had to be

A product of my environment, but that's not what I'm supposed to be
You motherfuckers just can't believe
Seeing my parents as my best friends, they didn't raise me to be
How my friends raised me, my group of people

Always got crazy parties on the weekends
Sometimes daily, glossy eyes talking hazy
My homies rapping crazy beats while I'm in the park
Or in the speaking with one or the other

We always rapping and shit and always kicking back and loving it
We always doing this after the school
After kicking with the homies saying party at two
Like my actions were weak, just had to be

A product of my environment, but that's not what I'm supposed to be
You motherfuckers just can't believe
Seeing my parents as my best friends, they didn't raise me to be
This way, in this situation
