|
| Look, I was such a lost soul, just wanted to be down with something
|
| Look at your son now mommy I amounted to something
|
| You couldn’t figure out, what I had messed with the streets for
|
| Cause you saw my genius without a SAT score
|
| I took drugs and laced it with things
|
| But you a addict yourself
|
| For you I was people places and things (how the fuck you thought)
|
| Angeldust use to have me in the hallways twurked
|
| I tried to hide it, but Visine didn’t always work
|
| I needed someone to blame in my mind
|
| I thought if you and dad never used dope I would a came out fine
|
| And so I igged you hard when you threw in advice
|
| Like what I want to talk to you about you ruined my life
|
| You the reason why I ended up a con and I knew it
|
| The reason I filled my body with that bomin fluid, mommy
|
| You the reason that my life’s gone illegal
|
| The reason I’m kinda different, don’t think like normal people, not calm
|
| She use to tell me to… calm down…
|
| Moms use to tell me to… calm down…
|
| (Use to pray that I would) Baby just calm down…
|
| You gotta hold your head up cause we gone make it
|
| She use to tell me to… calm down…
|
| Moms use to tell me to… calm down…
|
| (You got to understand what I was going through)
|
| Baby just calm down…
|
| Everything’s gonna be alright
|
| She use to tell me to… calm down…
|
| Moms use to tell me to… calm down…
|
| (But a nigga wouldn’t) Baby just calm down…
|
| You gotta hold your head up cause we gone make it y’all
|
| Listen… ain’t shit like seeing your moms crying on the floor
|
| Knowing you the reason why she ain’t alright no more
|
| But so young, I was like whatever
|
| You use to chase me through the house with the knife like get your life together
|
| Fucking drugs, how could I ever amp on you
|
| And what made me think that I could lay my hands on you
|
| I’m not surprised that you mad at me
|
| Much as you hated my father, your youngest son is just like his daddy
|
| Mommy I live life rude, how could you not understand it
|
| On the same note I’m just like you
|
| I got moms sensitivity, my fathers balls
|
| His humor, his g, yet my heart is yours
|
| Fuck school, cause I had my major
|
| Come to grips that it ain’t so much the drugs, it’s the addict behavior (no)
|
| Wasn’t the dip jar, it’s the cut that came with it
|
| Wasn’t really the smoking, but the rush that came with it (wasn't calm people)
|
| She use to tell me to… calm down…
|
| Calm down…
|
| (but a nigga wouldn’t) Baby just calm down…
|
| You gotta hold your head up cause we gone make it y’all
|
| (do it with me people) Calm down…
|
| Calm down…
|
| (try to understand it) Baby just calm down…
|
| (those kind of things) Everything’s gonna be alright
|
| Calm down… (just bare with me for a… for a brief moment y’all)
|
| Calm down…
|
| Baby just calm down…
|
| You gotta hold your head up cause we gone make it y’all
|
| I felt so alone, I had a crew, but so what
|
| Then when Angela stabbed me guess who showed up
|
| And when people said I’d always be ill and twisted
|
| And when the therapist had told us that the pills would fix it
|
| Was sick of being sick, I was finally hurt
|
| With all the praying that you did ma, it finally worked
|
| God gave you a son back, I won’t offend you again
|
| Won’t let the disease turn me against you again
|
| Use to be high as ever, (but I) Joey Jr. got his life together
|
| As a result, now we tighter than ever
|
| So blessed, so grateful to be seeing tomorrow (see the whole world)
|
| That’s why I can’t take a drink, not if even a swallow
|
| I can’t picture me twisted, like what I’m a do now
|
| Haters I can’t stop yet, my mothers to proud
|
| Secure now, don’t need to be down with nothing
|
| Look at your son now mommy, I amounted to something
|
| I’m so calm
|
| Calm down…
|
| Calm down…
|
| (but a nigga wouldn’t calm down) Baby just calm down…
|
| You gotta hold your head up cause we gone make it y’all (hold up)
|
| She use to tell me to… calm down…
|
| (Use to pray that I would) calm down…
|
| (But I couldn’t, I couldn’t, couldn’t do it) Baby just calm down…
|
| (Nothing heals like time people) Everything’s gonna be alright
|
| (Understand that) calm down…
|
| Calm down…
|
| (Fucking miracle) Baby just calm down…
|
| You gotta hold your head up cause we gone make it y’all
|
