Mirror reflection made in his image |

Reflecting is it neglecting cause he didn't |
| [00:29.24] |
Toss the balls in the park like them other dads |
| [00:32.00] |
Wrestle in the grass give noogies clean boogies |
| [00:34.62] |
As he should be both hands on your shoulder pads |
| [00:36.89] |
Says "go get 'em tiger" on the field you dash |
| [00:39.90] |
Alas he wasn't there in the stands with your family and friends |
| [00:43.04] |
When you caught the touchdown pass |
| [00:44.78] |
To win the title pop wanna pop on a different path |
| [00:47.75] |
Block corner with the sorted bags sorted and |
| [00:49.86] |
As reality really too bad cause you don't wanna be like Mike |

Gladly mimicked his speech studied his walk seriously |
| [01:07.58] |

The womb's protection made in her image |
| [01:41.20] |
Reflecting is it neglecting cause she didn't |
| [01:43.71] |
Cook the meals clean the crib keep the kids safe |
| [01:46.40] |
She gettin' sh*t faced White powder try ta cower |
| [01:49.28] |
When she visits school Mom is a disgrace |
| [01:51.80] |
Misplaced love found hate in it's place |
| [01:54.63] |
Sensei shuns her since faith |
| [01:57.12] |
Found hell heaven can wait to open gates |
| [01:59.76] |
A woman's grace crawls in space and her heartbeat great |
| [02:02.44] |
But Mommy ain't in a motherly state |
| [02:04.81] |
She says "Daddy gotta do what he do for the family |
| [02:07.57] |
And momma gotta use what she use to get by" abuse and get high |
| [02:11.45] |
Truth momma why even lie Your son not a fool realize |
| [02:15.23] |
The proof in your eyes if I choose to put this needle in your side |
| [02:19.27] |
Can I ease in our lies And the vein in demise the pain once again subsides |
| [02:23.98] |
Why we gotta hurt to feel good Why Momma knows what's goin' on inside |
| [02:28.37] |
And decides to miss God walk on by Close her eyes |
| [02:34.35] |
