ruslan - intro lyrics

[verse]
i come from nothing
immigrant refugee
the foreigners, the lesser me
a soviet i’m [?] the government i grew up in couldn’t get the best of me
we left before the fall of it, it’s called communism by the way
so i appreciate this parliament
and by the day we made it to america my parents marriage was hanging on by a thread, from
past hurts and infidelities, in the 6 months it took to cross the globe, their marriage was dead
my dad went out the picture
i got to see my mom struggle on welfare and coming out of abusive relationship after abusive relationship
see she was a hopeless romantic and couldn’t stand to be alone
plus a full [?] of other emotional damage done to her so she did her best and sacrificed to raise me right, and figured it out
got a job, left her relationship and became an even bigger superhero in my sight
see in my life i didn’t have a ton of advantages
english was not my first language
skipped a few meals but never famished
we were in poverty but without anguish
and to be honest i didn’t even know we were broke
so we finally moved closer to the ‘burbs and some rich kids cracked jokes
‘cuz i was raised mainly around black folk
so i never knew that my speech sounded ghetto
huh
needless to say i didn’t fit in
didn’t know how to read, in freshmen year i finally begin
pops wasn’t in the picture so i had to pretend like i knew how to be a man
and the work ethic i have came from sports but my mom forced me to get a job at 15 as a last resort so i have to report every penny to her and save for my own car
‘cuz that’s just something she couldn’t afford
a c+ student, i’m not stupid but i just wasn’t motivated to do it
went to college ’cause that’s what you do with
[?] grants and fee [?] were main truancy
they didn’t take attendance but i remained that cl-ss, clown, smart aleck nuisance, i
say all that to say my life wasn’t perfect but the struggle was worth it
i had to work my tail off in and outside of any cl-ss room, i was never that type of person, but i learned that i could never afford to stop learning
i could never afford to stop working, i’ve made every dumb decision there is to make
racked up all kinds of debt
and i wish would’ve knew then i know now
but i don’t have any regret
under the southern california sun pretty close to paradise, my
new life after life has finally just begun
