Honey Cocaine - Dear Luv Lyrics

[Tupac:]
"...and I feel like if you walk by a street and you was walkin' on concrete and you saw a rose, growing outta concrete.
Even if it had messed up petals and it was a little to the side you would marvel at just seeing a rose grow through concrete.."

[Honey Cocaine:]
As a yougin' all I had was a dream
Rappin' to myself as my mama used to scream
Papa getting violent and he beatin' her again
They just feeling stressed 'cause they tryna pay the rent

Papa, you a G though you did wrong
Mama, you an angel 'cause you stayed strong
Papa, it's alright, we have weak moments
Mama, you a soldier 'cause you keep holdin'

Uh
But some days, we ain't have shit
And some nights, I was askin'
"Why we so poor, but my friends not?"
Just jealous of what my friends got

Uh
I was hungry and you fed me love
Damn, you gave me yours, it wasn't enough
Yet, I took it all and without a praise
You made it feel like home and without a place
Workin' like slaves, and I'm so sorry
Ungrateful for the things you done did for me
Comin' home from school, disrespecting
Acting like I ain't have blessings
Dear, Mama the council won't get you
If you try to go, I won't let you
A careless ass kid, but I'm tryna change it
I just need to tell you I appreciate it

[Tupac:]
"...and I feel like if you walk by a street and you was walkin' on concrete and you saw a rose, growing outta concrete.
Even if it had messed up petals and it was a little.. you know, to the side you would marvel at just seeing a rose grow through concrete.."

[Honey Cocaine:]
As a youngin' all I had was a dream
You was my brother, my hero, my team
I was down for you, all you did was sell
I was growin' up while you was in and out of jail
Waitin' at the court room, all of us silent
You was never home, you was always so violent
How you think I felt when I visited the prison
Of where my brother at while my partner gone missin'
I was gone dissin', but I was just hurt
From all those nights, those fights, those words
Shit, we used to argue all the time, I hated you
And witnessing your drug dealin' and I hated, too
It was my birthday and then some next shit
All them times, you just got your ass arrested
Family stressin', I'm surprised you ain't dead
From a life of a crime, and that war with the FEDS
Have you thought 'bout what you put me through? HUH?
And all the things I had to do for you
Like deal with the people who spoke your name
Like this bitch who disrespected you, I broke her frame
But it's okay, I'm your baby sis
And some day I just may be rich
And I got you, I ain't gotta say it
I just wanted you to tell me you appreciate it
