As if it were written on the pages of the Quran
I don't come from Bel Air, I was born here
Ask your friends I paid
What strange thing I did to get
From the little church to the Top 10
With no convertible or dad
Sun outside the prisons
But if you look up from this yard
The moon looks like a sapphire lost in the dark
From this neighborhood up

The moon from public housing
The moon from public housing
The moon from public housing

I did time, you worked your a*s off
But in the end we've both got in our hands a
If they ask what you'll be when you grow up
Answer: it'll be enough to have the balls to
Make the right choices if you pick the wrong places and people
More than a Grammy, I'll hear you from a
And the more you watch it the more you wanna pray
The moon from public housing
The moon from public housing
The moon from public housing
