[00:21.46]I was born and raised the only son of a lawyer
[00:25.07]Till I was approximately the age of four or perhaps five
[00:29.07]
[00:31.44]I lost both my mother and my father
[00:34.25]
[00:35.18]Killed in a fire way up on the fourteenth floor
[00:38.30]
[00:42.36]Struck down by the time I was ten by an illness
[00:46.47]Which robbed me of the sight of the morning sun
[00:49.77]And that aint all
[00:50.89]
[00:52.76]A homeless child for the next five years
[00:55.51]
[00:56.44]With my dog clown by my side and my only friend

[01:13.79]And you know what the, the, the kids
[01:15.92]Down my street werent too playful

[01:38.47]
[01:39.40]When fate reared its ugly head and took my dog clown
[01:43.02]

[01:51.82]Sixteen years old and felt like a woman
[01:55.30]But, but, but, but, but what Im trying to say is
