What are you goin' through?
What are you goin' through?
If you only knew, if only you knew
What are you goin' through?
What are you goin' through?
If you only knew
(Nobody can stop me, damn)
Nobody can stop me, now
Nobody can stop me, now
What are you goin' through?
What are you goin' through?
If you only knew
(Nobody can stop me)
What are you goin' through?
What are you goin' through?
If you only knew, if you only knew
Look at my sister sadden when my baby's Mammy
Like she can't stand me
Say family be the first to turn so pity Annie
Filamina, my Granny, celebrate the Grammy
Damn, who knew no plannin' was so perfect
Rollin' my Dam Me, never forget the Bones
Trippin' on foster homes, sayin' I wasn't manly with a
Scarred up soul, why can't my skeletons understand me?
What if I said I was molested? Would you look at me?
Peel, but I keep on bailin', and I hope I'd don't
Go to Hell, stressed out of well
Can I sell my bio? I was born in Ohio, already on trial
'Cause Pops said I looked too light, but mom's just white
But I still got your smile
And look at me now, gotta be proud of myself
Ain't nobody else soundin' so worried about my health
And all the while takin' care of my kids
How will they live if I ain't hustlin', strugglin'
Trustin' still keepin' Jesus a part of solution
He gives life in the lungs, breath through tongue, now here it comes
Now, here it comes and here we go
Nobody can stop me, now
Nobody can stop me, now
Nobody can stop me, now
Nobody can stop me, now
If only you knew what am I goin' through
Goin' through, goin' through?
And my Mama took plenty beatings
Now, in her third damn marriage and man actin' like he cares
Apparently 'till you perish, but I was always there for you
Even though you let me leave
He's beatin' the shit outta me, too probably
Why I got my bodyguards and I'm in charge?
Watch me sleep, the pay is meek
But stay with me, and keep my heart collateral
We'll never break apart
Y'all didn't see me with Eazy
As a child of God with the underdog
Never applaud once you reminisce through the ball
Movin' in Heaven's movie, y'all think of all that
Fucked-up shit you saw
Only if you knew what I was goin' through
What am I goin' through
Goin' through, goin' through?
If only you knew
Nobody can stop me, now
Nobody can stop me, now
Nobody can stop me, now
Nobody can stop me, now
If only you knew
What am I goin' through
Goin' through, goin' through?
Flashback to May with the weight of the world
Can't stop my girl from steppin'
Lookin' for affection in wrong places
My lesson to learn, the world turns
The early bird gets the worm
What if it's rotten while you rushin' for love and get burned?
Five kids that's my only concern
I was a father before I became a man
Society don't comprehend
Callin' me worthless, but I could purchase
What they purchase, but I understand
Behind closed curtains you workin' on being a man
Death scares me, but Jesus will prepare me
And hopefully repair me 'cuz God would want him to
Really really, ghetto media see the thug
Wash your sins, then it's true you can be born again
What am I goin' through
Goin' through, goin' through?
Nobody can stop me, now
Nobody can stop me, now
Nobody can stop me, now
Nobody can stop me, now
