1970 something,
I don't sweat the date,
my mom's was late,
so I had to plan my escape
out the skins in this world to fly girls,
Tangaray and Hennessy until I caught Earl,
10 months in this gut,
what the f***,
I wish Mars would hurry up so I could get buck,
wild juvenile ripping mics and shoo,
New York,
New York,
ready for the likes of this,
huh,
every single day I'm blessed to look into his eyes,
I can't help but see no one but you,
gave the gift of motherhood,
and I raised him up the best I could,
you never got to know your buddy so much like you,
and it's a damn shame,
why you not here today,
I tried my best to explain,
why did you go but a child don't understand,
just don't know how to stay,
and I'll never let him forget you,
you're forever in my heart,
born in the same hood, so educated,
to carry on the name,
I know that you're looking down and you're so proud,
I know you're looking down,
I can see you smile,
I left a special part of you with me, then
came the worst date, May 21st, 219, that's
when my mama water burst,
no spouse in the house so she rolled for self,
took to hospital
to see if she could get a little help,
I pray saying that God only knows what was on her
mind,
umbilical cords wrapped around my neck,
I'm seeing my death and I ain't even took
my first step,
luckily she made it,
must have been right on time,
through it's grace everything
was fine,
I made it out of bringing mad joy,
the doctor looked and said he's gonna be a
bad boy, born in the same hood,
so educated,
to carry on the name,
I know that you're looking
down and you're so proud,
I know you're looking down,
I can see you smile,
I left a special
part of you with me, right here with me,
why you're not here today,
I try my best to explain,
