| [00:24.62] |
An ordinary cat from outer projects |
| [00:26.82] |
Since I was younger though |
| [00:28.20] |
Mom raised her children |
| [00:29.12] |
Pops dipped a long time ago |
| [00:31.09] |
In my mind I see flashbacks |
| [00:32.79] |
I had no fancy clothes |
| [00:34.12] |
Skinny ugly knotty head nigga |
| [00:35.75] |
Crying with a snotty nose |
| [00:37.33] |
Even though my father neglect |
| [00:38.78] |
He pay the child support |
| [00:40.15] |
Hadn't seen him all these years |
| [00:41.81] |
I hug his ass in court |
| [00:43.15] |
Always saying I'm coming to get you |
| [00:44.63] |
And I be waiting too |
| [00:46.05] |
Holiday and birthday presents |
| [00:47.75] |
Was never coming through |
| [00:49.07] |
Remember at the age 13 |
| [00:50.68] |
I started smoking weed |
| [00:52.02] |
Hanging out with cats that was older |
| [00:53.85] |
Start to run the street |
| [00:55.14] |
Dropped out of high school |
| [00:56.35] |
Selling drugs impressing chicks |
| [00:58.01] |
Spent most my cheddar on gear |
| [00:59.83] |
My man was buying whips |
| [01:01.10] |
New York Jamaican Miami niggaz |
| [01:02.57] |
Flooded Virginia quick |
| [01:03.96] |
Cause signing work only if buying |
| [01:05.70] |
Prices was high as shit |
| [01:07.26] |
Remember when I first got hit |
| [01:08.67] |
I seen the iron spit |
| [01:10.10] |
50 cash bent in one corner bleeding |
| [01:12.07] |
Where pellet hit |
| [01:13.03] |
My man shawn |
| [01:13.86] |
He held on strong |
| [01:15.00] |
Slug burn through his lower back side |
| [01:17.01] |
Crack his spine exit his arm |
| [01:18.61] |
Lost him twice on the hospital table |
| [01:20.58] |
And when he died I cried my eyes out |
| [01:22.83] |
I couldn't take it damn damn |
| [01:24.66] |
But the same things continued to happen |
| [01:26.68] |
Niggaz got bust |
| [01:27.70] |
I'm a kid with a grown man's mind turning corrupt |
| [01:30.67] |
Playing innocent in front of my elders |
| [01:32.89] |
I was running with them cats that be robbing too |
| [01:35.56] |
I couldn't tell them |
| [01:36.71] |
If my name was up in any type trouble |
| [01:38.78] |
My moms would tell me |
| [01:39.92] |
Just like you brothers into some shit |
| [01:41.68] |
Go get a job or something |
| [01:43.12] |
Just a little bum on the street |
| [01:44.70] |
Not working hard for nothing |
| [01:45.96] |
Scratch I made when I was pumping |
| [01:47.75] |
I'm here to offer something |
| [01:48.96] |
Making sure the crib stay tight |
| [01:50.59] |
For real I wasn't no dummy |
| [01:52.08] |
Tell me where you getting this money |
| [01:53.71] |
I wash a car be lying |
| [01:55.07] |
Saying anything sides drugs selling |
| [01:57.04] |
My sister seen me on the block |
| [01:58.68] |
Transact with fiends |
| [01:59.55] |
Be saying I'm tell it |
| [02:00.99] |
Growing up was hell no doubt |
| [02:02.77] |
I wonder where was heaven |
| [02:24.67] |
Now I'm a grown man |
| [02:25.79] |
Still it's like life dealt me the wrong hand |
| [02:27.95] |
Cat's that was my man be fronting |
| [02:29.69] |
Or either found dead |
| [02:30.90] |
Sound said incarcerated just turned a new Dad |
| [02:33.94] |
Remembering them long ten months |
| [02:35.13] |
|
| [02:35.67] |
From slinging crack bags |
| [02:37.01] |
Mom put me out with the quickness |
| [02:38.72] |
Carry your black ass |
| [02:39.85] |
I'm still coming back to the crib |
| [02:41.61] |
Oh so you back yeah |
| [02:42.96] |
May I just came to holler to see how you doing |
| [02:45.75] |
Nothings changed after all these years |
| [02:47.78] |
Still hustle for some gear smoke weed |
| [02:50.47] |
Still drink beers |
| [02:51.49] |
I tell you from my heart |
| [02:52.89] |
Yo times I'm like yeah |
| [02:54.61] |
I wonder if heaven was a place in this planet |
| [02:56.81] |
