1970 somethin'
n***a I don't sweat the date
My moms is late
So I had to plan my escape
Out the skins
In this world the fly girl
Tanqueray or hennessy
Until I called Earl
Ten months in this gut
What the f**k
I wish moms would hurry up
So I could get buck
While juvenile
Rippin' mics and s**t
New York New York
Ready for the likes of this
Every single day I'm blessed to
Look into his eyes
And I can't help but see
No one but you
You gave the gift of motherhood
And I raised him up the best
I could
Never got to know you
But he's so much like you
And it's a damn shame
Why you're not here today
I try my best to explain
Why did you go
But a child just don't understand
Ohh
No way
And I'm never let 'em forget you
You're forever in their hearts
One in the same
So glad you came
To carry on the name
I know that you're lookin' down
And you're so proud
I know you're lookin' down
I can see your smile
You left a special part of you
With me
Duh nuh duh nuh
Uh then came the worst date
May 21st
219
Is when my mama's water burst
No spouse in the house
So she rolls herself
To the hospital
To see if she could get a little help
Heart racing
And God only knows what was on her mind
Umbilical chord's wraped around my neck
I'm seein' my death
And I ain't even took my first step
Luckily she made it
Must have been right on time
Through his grace
Everything was fine
I made it out
I'm bringin' mad joy
The doctor looked and said
He's gonna be a bad boy
Same
So glad you came
To carry on the name
I know that you're lookin' down
And you're so proud
I know you're lookin' down
I can see your smile
You left a special part of you
Right here with me
And it's a damn shame
Why you're not here today
I try my best to explain
Why did you go
But a child just don't understand
Ohh
No way
No way
And I'm never let 'em forget you
'Cause you're forever in our hearts
Oh forever in our hearts
Forever in our hearts
