TURTLE by TONY BLONKO Lyrics

I was just born on a beach, I had to learn how to get it on my own, I feel like a turtle. I ain't have a mom or a dad had to learn how to fend for myself, I feel like a turtle. Gotta dodge the birds and the snakes then swim around the sharks with the fish I feel like a turtle. It's survival of the fittest, I just wanna make it out alive, I feel like a turtle. I lost my mother to a murder dawg, I felt abandoned in this cold world. Somebody tell me where that love at that's only meant for me, actin grown I'm stayin out every night. Just your average lil jit from the projects, my only dream is make it out alive. I was fed to these wolves, how am i still alive? I lost my mother to a murder every night i cried. Only options i done had was go hard. Me and my brother jizzle was on that trap or die. Blicky was the *, S Dot Enforcer. It's a cold world and a cold game. If it ain't about a dollar, I see no gain. I mind my business, focus on my craft. School of hard knocks graduation class, they could never tell you i was on my ass. I was just born on a beach, I had to learn how to get it on my own, I feel like a turtle. I ain't have a mom or a dad had to learn how to fend for myself, I feel like a turtle. Gotta dodge the birds and the snakes, then swim around the sharks with the fish I feel like a turtle. It's survival of the fittest, I just wanna make it out alive, I feel like a turtle. I can't tell you how it feel to have a father dawg. Why would he abandon me? Odds are against me where that knowledge only prison teach. Nana tried to reach me streets taught me more, lawyer on my bail thank you S Money. In and outta out of town, me, Troop and Tolly. Menace plugged me in, I'm screamin free Sosa. Mr On the Move fuck a sofa. Do a lil toot put it on the pot, paranoid thinkin dont get caught. Only thing on my mind was get right. Diamond in the rough sure gonna shine. I'm numb to the pain, call it shell shock, I was raised on a rough block, gotta take the good mix it with the bad, I'm a product of a great man. I was just born on a beach, I had to learn how to get it on my own, I feel like a turtle. I ain't have a mom or a dad had to learn how to fend for myself, I feel like a turtle. Gotta dodge the birds and the snakes then swim around the sharks with the fish I feel like a turtle. It's survival of the fittest, i just wanna make it out alive, I feel like a turtle
