| [00:02.31] |
How much of the trauma did mama get, aye |
| [00:04.86] |
Way up to the highest level, the drama gets, aye |
| [00:07.90] |
The pain of my mother's heartache was on a display |
| [00:10.95] |
Y'all don't want a sick day to my mama's dismay |
| [00:13.99] |
Thinking of all of it |
| [00:15.72] |
I never wanted a part of it |
| [00:17.23] |
Remember I wanted to let go |
| [00:18.72] |
When smoking, I managed to get low |
| [00:20.28] |
It coulda been worse like when I was talking to homies |
| [00:21.86] |
When the cellular phone up on death row |
| [00:23.34] |
When I never had the service stretched so |
| [00:24.80] |
I still stay, but I'm blessed though |
| [00:26.49] |
But why did I have to hear mama getting beat |
| [00:29.78] |
In third grade, so I couldn't really give him missing teeth |
| [00:32.87] |
But I knew from grandma |
| [00:34.01] |
That what you sew you're gonna freaking reap |
| [00:35.85] |
So he robbed a bank and got about 30 years |
| [00:37.56] |
In the pin for the mission, peace |
| [00:39.26] |
Blessed to get away |
| [00:40.68] |
But stressed to this day |
| [00:41.98] |
When checks hit a nay |
| [00:43.53] |
No money, depressed and it's grey |
| [00:45.26] |
But the family didn't stutter to pull her |
| [00:47.51] |
And the kid inside their homes |
| [00:49.05] |
Sometimes it was butter and sugar sandwiches |
| [00:51.05] |
Graduated to healthy niggas |
| [00:52.73] |
Try'na protect this investment |
| [00:54.55] |
Moving like stealthy figures |
| [00:56.06] |
All that poverty and pain it really helped me give a damn |
| [00:59.34] |
It dealt me this killer jam, now wealthy I'm living grand |
| [01:02.39] |
Still I felt these shivers |
| [01:03.74] |
And the cold nights living through all these stressors |
| [01:06.54] |
I'm feeling like |
| [01:07.35] |
I had a lifelong baby bib to protect me from messes |
| [01:10.04] |
Around my neck so I'm safe as far as threats go |
| [01:12.62] |
From the last row to the best flow |
| [01:14.20] |
I can now say that I'm blessed though |
| [01:15.85] |
All of these things that get me down |
| [01:19.96] |
I know it's gotta be an upside down |
| [01:24.36] |
Found somewhere, yeah |
| [01:27.89] |
If I can't pick my face up off the ground |
| [01:32.55] |
And I don't know what's next |
| [01:35.32] |
Hollow, but I'm blessed |
| [01:40.58] |
All of these things that get me down |
| [01:45.17] |
I know it's gotta be an upside down |
| [01:48.84] |
Found somewhere, yeah |
| [01:52.70] |
If I can't pick my face up off the ground |
| [01:57.17] |
And I don't know what's next |
| [01:59.79] |
I'm hollow, but I'm blessed, yeah |
| [02:04.99] |
Under pressure |
| [02:07.69] |
Feel like God |
| [02:08.91] |
No discussion when I pull that card |
| [02:11.91] |
Until I say different |
| [02:13.52] |
I know what I know |
| [02:15.56] |
Under pressure |
| [02:20.04] |
Feel like God |
| [02:21.30] |
No discussion when I pull that card |
| [02:24.14] |
Until I say different |
| [02:26.03] |
I know what I know |
