[00:07.127]Let me take ya’ll way back, way back
[00:09.495]When I was 8 years old
[00:11.513]I was playing in my front yard, front yard
[00:14.534]I ran through the back door
[00:17.038]That’s when I saw my mamma crying
[00:19.486]I said I asked ‘What’s wrong?
[00:21.276]I said I asked my mamma ‘What’s wrong?
[00:23.616]I said I asked my mamma ‘What’s wrong?
[00:26.828]She said ‘Baby if you ever listen
[00:29.297]this is the perfect time, son’
[00:31.227]My mamma told me that she had cancer, cancer
[00:34.013]And mamma might die soon
[00:36.015]My mamma told me she might die soon
[00:38.248]My mamma told me she might die soon
[00:41.686]And when I was 15, standing on that block
[00:45.836]That’s when a black Monte Carlo pulled up, pulled up
[00:49.093]And started letting out shots
[00:51.385]That’s when a bullet went across my head
[00:53.053]And I laid there thinking I was dead
[00:56.287]And When I was 16
[00:58.553]Sitting in that cell
[01:00.550]That’s when an officer came up to me
[01:03.313]And I thought I had bail
[01:05.650]But then I knew that something was wrong
[01:07.771]I kinda felt my mamma was gone
[01:10.996]Now tell me, is ya feelin’ me?
[01:13.366]Oh do you fell the melody
[01:15.126]Going oh, da, da, da, da, oh.........
