My mother saw a sparkle in my eye after she conceived me/ and from that’s moment in life after that she beloved in me/ showing me the road map so life wouldn’t end fast/ without that I wouldn’t been crashed/ exercising kindness working issues like slim fast/ true love really does last/ wasn’t really a trouble maker nor was on the honor roll/ but I did make it a point to always honor my mothers role/ we was still surviving in a single parent home/ my father had to leave after God called his phone/ and we understood that/ tried not to look back/ and wondered what life would be like if he could come back/ a man is not a man until responsibility is attached to em/ you’ll see that value of that man by the way people react to em/ at least that’s what I heard growing up just paraphrasing/ and never show tears when you cry even when the pain is raining/ and people that complain a lot, don’t have the constraint to stop/ that’s why they come to you to fan their fame and keep the drama hot/ and this ain’t speculation/ this is a realization/ facts on facts my Nigga in these statements/ life in 80’s and 90’s was so different/ I remember looking out the window of my grandmother building/ could is the chill from the winter and you could feel it/ young hearts being warmed by love hard to conceal it/ the atmosphere over the city you could tell how the town feels/ imagine having a shitty day and you also living in Brownsville/ the project wasn’t the best but a-lot made it a home/ even with roaches running around and paint peeling off the walls/ there’s a moment inside something nobody could break up/room for improvement how much will it take up/ life lessons are priceless when it’s coming from the heart/ my training wheels came after launching my head start/ torn apart from tragedy I’ve seen/ the green made some stronger and also made them mean/ when you young you have dreams when your old you have nightmare/ life jet Li in the middle of a room tryna fight fears/ you don’t think about death till they get a post dated post card/ you being to reflect as reality sets in hard/ the pressure building up yet there’s still time left/ the Season finale of your life you better make it your best/ so brush off your shoulder you gotta lot dirt on em/ some young boys don’t understand even when you try to warn em/ like bees test swarming the sings can be vicious/ you hear the old folks voice in your ear man you should’ve listened/
