Antagonist
There he go
Timmy's 12 years old
And he is on his own
He ain’t got a phone
So he can't call nobody when need of help
He can't trust nobody, not even himself
Because he was always taught how to steal and he stole
Many things from the corner store, just right up the road
From where he lived…
...he was always attacked verbally by some kids
It makes no sense, but now he’s carrying drugs with him to class
He hides em in his book bag
Like, way in the back
He tries not to caught popping some pills and when he's at home he'll do some crack
And in his bag he stores a little bit of cash
To help him get by
Mind you, he doesn't really have a dad
To teach him how to be a man
His mom is twice as bad
I'ma tell him that everything is ok and I'ma have his back
Ohhhh, ohhh
Darkness keeps it grip
Ohhhh, ohhh
How'd it come to this
How'd it come to this
How’d it come to this


Her name’s Stacey, straight outta Wisconsin
She moved to California
That had to be awesome
I always loved Cali, but that's not the point
She was traumatized, she got robbed at gunpoint
And she was sexually assaulted by a boy that she knew
Her family was on the news
Yeah, they got sued, they were business owners of who
I don’t know, but she's depressed
She lost it all, she can barely rest
At night, wait...so what's next?
She's talking back, doing drugs, sleeping bed to bed
She decided to run away
Run to where? Nobody would let her stay
She’s pregnant, she only 16
She has no money nor a home, she ain't ready for babies
She can't even remember who the father is, she was drunk yo
Gave up on life, took some drugs and now her eyes closed
Ohhhh, ohhh
Darkness keeps it grip
Ohhhh, ohhh
How'd it come to this
How'd it come to this
How'd it come to this

A guy from Maryland just moved in next to me
I got his number, we conversed on cellular, see
I think he's a good guy, he's 25 with a wife
So what if he's way older than me right?
We talked all night, yeah, we talked about life
Seems like he gets bullied by his boss
And he tells me a lot that he just wants to quit his job
He don't know how to do it though
So I sat down with him, kicked some facts at him
I said ”yo, this is your chance, prove to me that your a man”
He said, “alright, I can”
Next day he went to his boss, he said “yo champ
I enjoyed working here, but I gotta bounce Sam”
Sam says, “yeah, no, you work for me Dan”
Dan says “I can't be forced to stay here Sam”
Yeah, pretty good response yet
Sam threatened the dudes life!
Now he can't…
God!
Ohhhh, ohhh, (I got you Sam)
Darkness keeps it grip
(I got you)
Ohhhh, ohhh
(I got you Timmy)
How'd it come to this
(I got you Stacey)
How'd it come to this
(Just know I got all your backs)
How'd it come to this

I got all y'all backs
