| This goes out to my wife Erica
|
| Who always holds me down, taking care of our son
|
| This goes out to every mother out there
|
| Whether you have a man in your life or you don’t, trying to take care of a child
|
| I know how hard it is to raise a child and this worlds ruthless You’re tired
|
| all the time
|
| You’re startin' to feel youthless
|
| Together Mommy and Daddy
|
| Well the truth is trying to make it work sometimes can be a nuisance
|
| Especially if the fridge is never filled, the booth drips
|
| And the boys growing out his clothes, do his shoes fit?
|
| That’s why I’m always goin' hard with this music
|
| Cause I want my little man to have a good future
|
| I put food on the table cause I’m able to
|
| We got a nice place to live, cars and cable too
|
| We went through our struggle but we made it through
|
| And going back to having nothing I’m afraid to do
|
| He got the best Mom and Nana and the best Grammy
|
| Even though I know sometimes they can’t stand me
|
| There ain’t nothing that means more than family
|
| And I’m just trying to be the best man that I can be
|
| I’m hoping that you’ll understand what it means to me
|
| (To know that you’re there)
|
| I give you my word as a man that you’re where my heart is
|
| ('Cause this is where my heart is)
|
| I have my issues they’ve been documented publicly
|
| My wife knows it won’t stop my son from loving me
|
| She sees a side of me that the public doesn’t see
|
| But still society can judge, turn you ugly
|
| I’ve been trying to do the right things suddenly
|
| I remember just the way my Momma used to Mother me
|
| And when the rain came left the ground puddly
|
| I had the love she gave me walkin through the mud with me Maybe that’s what
|
| save me from going crazy as a grown man
|
| She taught me how to stand on my own damn
|
| So when I think back I was never alone man
|
| Now it’s time for me to raise my own fam
|
| I’m hoping that you’ll understand what it means to me
|
| (To know that you’re there)
|
| I give you my word as a man that you’re where my heart is
|
| ('Cause this is where my heart is)
|
| Got my home, got my fam, got my guard, got my plans
|
| Hopin' that my feet don’t fail me now
|
| Been travelin' on this road a while
|
| And I’ll go (I'll go)
|
| I’ll go 'til I can’t no more
|
| From my heart I’ll go (I'll go)
|
| To see you live the life that you deserve to know
|
| Son, you know you have roots with me and it grows deep
|
| You’re the reason I’m up all night working with no sleep
|
| I’m still the same kid who used to live on O street
|
| I’m still the same dude who believed what they told me
|
| I watch my best friends die an OD and never shed a tear saying «oh no woes me»
|
| I slept and did the crime with the nose bleed
|
| I still have the vision they mostly don’t see
|
| Don’t ever let nobody tell you that you won’t be
|
| And when you’re lonely I’ma always be your homie
|
| You’re my little dude, I mean you’re my little man I’ma always fight for you
|
| kid I’m never giving in
|
| I’m hoping that you’ll understand what it means to me
|
| (To know that you’re there)
|
| I give you my word as a man that you’re where my heart is
|
| 'Cause this is where my heart is, where my heart is
|
| Where my heart is, my my heart
|
| This is where my heart is |
