[00:11.30]You came into my mother's life at the right time
[00:13.90]More than a step-father  more of like a lifeline
[00:16.45]She ain't really had happiness since my pop died
[00:19.25]She was living but living is always not alive
[00:21.88]And my momma should be treated like a queen
[00:24.22]You gave her everything she ever needed like a queen
[00:27.05]Probably the most gentle G I ever seen
[00:29.62]The love y'all shared I never seen in human beings
[00:32.41]Y'all were together twelve years  never no fights
[00:35.25]Not even a little argument  that was so nice
[00:38.05]Three of us eating dinner together most nights
[00:40.64]Working seven days a week  that ain't no life
[00:43.26]But never once did I hear you complain
[00:45.33]Even when they let you go
[00:46.53]Never hear you with blame
[00:47.76]
[00:48.62]It take a real man to walk through the rain
[00:50.68]He was a real man who got sick
[00:52.29]And fought through the pain
[00:53.20]
[00:54.34]I am made of all four corners
[00:59.73]All directions without the borders
[01:03.95]
[01:04.88]I am strung so loose together
[01:09.44]And you're a thread that holds forever
[01:14.82]
[01:16.03]I'm not nobody's baby
[01:24.65]
[01:26.62]You had your shit too
[01:30.09]But you always came through for me
[01:35.89]
[01:36.77]I walked in that morning
[01:38.07]And knew something was wrong
[01:39.36]I tried to talk to you Rock  you didn't respond
[01:42.03]I called 9-1-1 and then ran for my moms
[01:44.76]Waiting for the ambulance and I tried to be calm
[01:47.36]Moms went with you
[01:48.30]I stayed and held down the fort
[01:49.97]I was nervous  I was crying and really distraught
[01:52.64]I was alone by myself
[01:54.08]Just left with my thoughts
[01:55.50]Mommy called
[01:56.12]Told me that you had a stroke and fought
[01:58.02]I ain't seen a hospital since my father died
[02:00.76]I don't like it there  memories is locked inside
[02:03.42]When I walked inside the room we started to cry
[02:05.81]
[02:06.53]I was just so happy that you was alive
[02:08.89]And you told you how much
[02:09.97]That you hate the hospital
[02:11.40]And that they thieves are trying
[02:12.76]To keep their pockets full
[02:14.18]I think I hold myself a little bit responsible
[02:16.61]When you was smoking all the time
[02:18.12]I wasn't stopping you
[02:19.37]Nevertheless you came home and that was real
[02:22.06]A lot of therapy and doctors gave you lots of pills
[02:24.77]You couldn't thrive anymore
[02:26.17]You had to stop and chill
[02:27.38]And that's too much for anybody
[02:28.85]That can stop your will
[02:29.80]
[02:30.97]But you never got back to your norm
[02:32.73]You was proud
[02:33.55]Didn't want any help from my mom
[02:35.44]I left for tour
[02:36.29]And you asked me how long I'd be gone
[02:38.08]And I could see inside your eyes
[02:39.42]You knew something was wrong
[02:40.76]I got back mommy told me you was sick again
[02:42.94]
[02:43.45]Couldn't believe
[02:44.05]That we was going through this shit again
[02:46.07]I love you Rock
[02:47.05]And I'm always gonna miss you friend
[02:49.03]And for me it's just the same story
[02:50.60]Different pen
[02:51.30]
[02:51.91]I am made of all four corners
[02:57.25]All directions without the borders
[03:01.30]
[03:02.42]I am strung so loose together
[03:06.77]And you're a thread that holds forever
[03:12.80]
[03:13.58]I'm not nobody's baby
[03:22.38]
[03:23.95]You had your shit too
[03:27.55]But you always came through for me
[03:33.73]
