| When he was locked, the whole fam tried to talk to him
|
| Told people he was innocent and vouched for him
|
| They went to visit, he ain’t even come out for them
|
| Never wrote them back, and they never got a call from him
|
| And after that they was still feeling sorry for them
|
| His mama was a wishful thinker so she bought a car for him
|
| She would cry every day pray to god
|
| She thinking it’s her fault cause it was her gun that he pulled
|
| She can’t blame herself, he don’t blame himself
|
| He blames her for keeping him from his famous self
|
| He figured that he would be playing for the Bulls
|
| Vacation with the fam on a beach playing pool
|
| A year later his mama was at the store
|
| When a drunk man came and gunned her to the floor
|
| She died instantly like it was meant to be
|
| And home boy was getting out the pen 10 in a week
|
| Yeah, see we all got million dollar dream
|
| For that, we tend to forget about the people who love us the most
|
| You know what I’m saying?
|
| Can’t forget your fam, can’t forget your friends on your road to glory
|
| Cause as easy as god put them in your life, they could be gone |
