Unknown Artist — Katrina

[Verse] Yeah, In my life I lost a lot of things My mom my dad and my siblings I’m very puzzled like it’s riddling Why did this have to happen to me? Everything I had washed away like soap Where else could I go besides the superdome I was lonely, yeah I had a couple homies But anxiety hypothetically told me that this is not my home My life never ever really was complex As a kid I would always play outside with my friends We’d Walk feeling Almighty like YBN I had delicious dinners every 7 pm I be thinking ‘bout my dreams spending time with family And I had wonderful parents who’d always tuck me in I remember when my dad carried me like I’m a baby To the hospital when my ankle twisted like a dread I was 18 when my life switched like a leaver Running home fast like ariba ariba Then it started getting windy (Wendy), no cheesea And that’s when I saw her; huracan Katrina That’s when I made it home to my family We hugged each other like it was a happy ending Then something struck but it wasn’t lightning Nah, not lightning Then I woke up at a hospital like a new baby In a bed undercovers like my first name was Kassie I started screaming at the doctors ”Where the f*** is my family?!” “Where’s my sister Sarah?! Where’s my brother Davey?!” “Where are my parents who went out their way to raise me?” The doctor waited a minute for me to calm down And when I did he told the only survivor was me And I still decided to stand tall on my feet I never gave up on my life, it’s never given up on me I’m aware that I’m alone, ain’t no daddy or mommy My life really changed like Cyrus to the Miley Of course I didn’t take the death of my loved ones lightly But I had things to do and I just did ‘em like it’s Nike Relocated by a fam in LA Provided me with a room to stay Eventually I found a job that could pay me minimum wage Clerk at Micky D's Don’t judge me Had to get paid Or I’d be kicked by the family I would’ve been a bum for the rest of my days (huh!) Later on I managed to make enough money for college I did it on my own with no help, I’m not Hopsin I ain’t never stopin’ Was just getting started Okay, let me get back on the topic Yes I work hard Yes I’ll go far Fast as a car I ain’t got no time to turn up at a club or bar I little time if I waste it I’m gonna fall Never taking vacations until I know I ball hard Graduated and I got new job up in Philly Well paying job I could live in the hillies Never thought about failure it just gives me the chillies Kill me if I fail ‘cause if I do it’s goin’ kill me Nice lady at work soon enough we got married Weeks later we started curling like a jerry Made two babies Now I’m a parent Decided name them after Sarah and Davy Don’t ever confront me I came up from nothing Since I was 18 I’ve been running from bumming Running from bumming Running from bumming Since I was 18 I’ve been running from bumming, uh
