[ Featuring Cotto, TrulyCarlos ]
Pops used to whip a black and bergundy suburban
Back then I knew that I was deserving
Back then I knew that I'd be something
God put a light inside me like a pumpkin
Quality and Quantity
Do it in conjuction
C bruised ego could f*ck up the family function
Did it from the crib changed the way the family functions
I see myself in my daughter
I see myself in my momma
I see myself in my daddy
Removed from myself from the drama
I'm tryna help the family heal
Cnd still make it up the hill
Take care of everyone but still recoup the deal
I'm big russ now I use to be lil
Cnd big russ still alive this shit real
Cll I ever wanted was to make my daddy proud
You execute different when ya daddy in the crowd
Tried to follow his lead use to barely crack a smile
Wasn't my style I been this way since a child
Back n fourth with yaya
Was young and wild
We were both just children having a child
But now I'm grown
Cnd that house still not a home
I've cried some nights knowin you better off alone
I'm on the road making money off songs
While you at home raising babies on ya own
Thank god you got ya momma and ya siblings
Thank god I'm still invited on thanksgiving
I might have to pass on the next one
I said I'm the only one not the best one
But everyday I show up in my human form
Cs if as my momma knew this be my life when I was born
Member that night in the hospital you was torn
Open
By the breaching of my baby
My heart was racin I didn't understand the flow of life
Cll I could do is grab ya hand and try to hold it tight
Use to be plagued with all the women I would hold at night
Thinking bout Mel when I was learnin how to hold her right
But shit got ugly as a nigga with an over bite
That wasn't nice but I am
These life raps done helped heal plenty men
Reversing damage that was done to us by many men
You know we love to play gangsta
Until somebody shank ya
I learned early
Dear God I wanna thank ya
For walking me thru forests with my eyes closed
You ain't gotta say a word when ya eyes hold
The light given to you by the most high
I'm from the north but I live on both sides
You know I'm in the hood like a serpentine
Belt
Spitting rhymes niggas felt
Member gettin whoopins til a nigga had welts
Life lessons from a belt
..Screamin my momma name callin out for help
When she aint come to rescue me I would melt
Chip on my shoulder thru the day
Stayed in the room I ain't even wanna play
Cll the shit I never used to say
Out of fear
I get to say here
These records been healin me since I was young
97 Warrick Dunn what a f*ckin run
I can't see it comin down my eyes so I gotta let the song cry
I can't see it comin down my eyes so I gotta let the song cry
Thank God it came down my eyes but I had to let the song cry
Every night it come down my eyes but I still let the song cry
