| My momma told me while I run these streets she can’t sleep
|
| Her phone ring late at night she think somethin' happened to me
|
| Her nerves so bad right now she can’t even watch T. V
|
| She turn her head everytime she see the police
|
| She scared to look cause it might be me in the back seat
|
| Whenever she hear about a shootin' her heart skip a beat
|
| She heard the feds was in town her knees got weak
|
| She know I’m at the house the only time she at peace
|
| Her blood pressure through the roof all because of me
|
| Her favorite words is «dope ain’t the only way to eat»
|
| She told me the other day she hope I don’t die in these streets
|
| I just pray to God she don’t wipe her hands wit' me
|
| I’m a goon to the streets but to my momma I’m still her baby
|
| Raised a street nigga by yaself you a hell of a lady
|
| Shit Im doin' now got nothin' to do wit' how you raised me
|
| Shit killin' me to know I’m runnin' my momma crazy
|
| Goon to the streets but to my momma I’m still her baby
|
| Raised a street nigga by yaself you a hell of a lady
|
| Shit Im doin' now got nothin' to do wit' how you raised me
|
| Shit killin' me to know I’m runnin' my momma crazy
|
| Remember the nights me sittin' up in a cold cell
|
| I’m wakin' ya up out’cha sleep it’s me callin' you from jail
|
| You ain’t say it but I know inside you mad as hell
|
| You called off from work just to bond me out of jail
|
| I get in trouble I call you seem like it never fail
|
| Can hear you now «boy you need to sit ya ass down somewhere»
|
| I come and eat I take a shower then I’m out of there
|
| I know I’m stressin' ya at times seem like I don’t care
|
| You wrote bad checks for me to have somethin' to wear
|
| You risked ya freedom for me nowadays that’s real rare
|
| Everytime I think about the shit I wanna shed a tear
|
| That’s why I buy ya somethin' for Father’s Day every year
|
| You did the best you could wit' me and I love you for that
|
| Wanted me to stay in school but that ain’t where my heart was at
|
| I got exposed to the streets and fell in love wit' stacks
|
| And all the times I hurt you wish I could take it back
|
| When daddy left us you stepped up and took his slack
|
| I know I’m selfish and feelin’s is somethin' I know I lack
|
| The shit I’m doin' now I know you raised me better than that
|
| You showed me how to be a man and showed me how to act
|
| Sometimes I wonder how you still proud I’m ya son
|
| After all the stuff I took ya through and all the shit I done
|
| Well like ya told me when God want me how I can’t run
|
| Before he take me want you to know how much I love ya mom
|
| Think I’m speakin' for every street nigga 'round the world… I
|
| Don’t think we sit down long enough sometimes… Just to
|
| Realize what we takin' our momma through… It hurt me to know
|
| Dog… That I’m runnin' my momma crazy… And it’s really
|
| Killin' me to know… that I’m helpin' killin' my momma. |
