Uh what's a n***a in America
Why the f**k is we here
Why you tell me go back where I'm from
When you dragged me here
Why we born to be poor
Why our fathers be gone
Why my father forsake us
Why my momma so strong
And on my momma I'd kill ya
On faris I'd kill ya
n***a we were so broke split 20 dollars a weekend
I never cried but I realized what we were missing
My mind had a n***a on edge I started sellin' and cheatin'
Said f**k the government f**k the man
F**k the feds f**k the law
See que was f**king my girl too f**king hungry to care
I started sellin mo' thinking bout zip
Thinking what I did f**ked her friend
F**ked her homie then f**ked again
I started sipping on liquor
Couldn't cope wit the changes
We went back to the hood
Started slanging and bangin'
Feds was outside my house
Second time we got raided
Everything was for you
I want to get you that coupe
Black and young and a f**k up
I wanna prove this to you
That I could be more than a boy
But a father with you
I wish I could change
But god you made me this way
So I'm gone keep my faith high
And bow my head and just pray
Like this
Lord lord I need your help lord
Lord lord I need your help lord
I was so young and dumb
You were so young and dumb
Allan was in the picture
I was gon' pop dat n***a
Celebrity status now
You in a wedding gown
You was gon' be my wife
Move to a newer life
Tried to make dreams with you
Still I'm so proud of you
Look at the woman from a girl a flower blossomed too
The prettiest of them all
You was gon' have it all
You was gon' have the mall
But you still got it all
Shower you wit' some poems
Shower you wit' some songs
Remember the drawing I made
Remember the flowers I gave
Remember the time that we spent
Remember the time that we missed
Don't let that happen again
Go find you a better man
And go have that baby boy
And make him a better man
Tell him his mother loves him
Just like she used to love me
And play him this tape for you
Tell him what we been through
So we can both raise that child like we promised we would do
