1
To My nigga who brought me in this world
2
Taught us right nigga
3
My old dad imported to the family structure
4
Provide her God
5
My moms a queen at university civaliza
6
My pops maybe was late but always came home
7
My moms would put us to bed and she would wait on
8
Soon as he walk in the door she barking
9
I turned out the Jonny Carson
10
Jumped out the bed
11
We grabbed both his legs
12
Me and my brother
13
Not knowing the pain he gave my mother
14
Night after night, fighting yelling at each other
15
My papa played the street all day
16
Mama was either home, at work, while we played inside the hall way
17
She sacrifices all she got to feed us
18
When she was alone she cried by the phone pepping out the window heeding
19
But still I didn't see it
20
Mama hid it from us
21
We was kids younger
22
Till we got bigger, on to
23
Bigger things that we knew what the time was
24
That daddy was leaving the crib and moms love
25
Papa was player, player wasn't papa
26
Papa loved the ladies
27
Never got enough of
28
Pretty brown round
29
Running round town (Shhhhh)
30
Don't tell your mother what's going down
31
[Repeat 2x]
32
So many kids I knew, never knew what Pap was
33
That's why I show my pop love
34
He was still around when I fucked up
35
He could have left
36
My moms pregnant shock to death but stayed
37
Watch me crawl till I took my first step, to the first grade
38
To my first fist fight
39
Right behind me he would stand
40
No matter how big or tall he made me fight you like a man
41
Throw dirt in your eye, swing my right scoop your ass and slam
42
He watched me so I wouldn't get jumped by shorty's fam
43
Roaches and weed all over my crib him and moms relaxing
44
Next thing you know he packing
45
So then I asked him
46
What's this white shit on that plate and your facing?
47
Papa why you butt ass from the waist
48
And who's this lady I'm facing
49
Dark skin you're not my mommy
50
He grabbed me up to run some smooth words by me
51
Promise things that he would buy me
52
If I kept my mouth close and don't tell mommy
53
He said one day I'll understand little me
54
Was in you to side me
55
Papa was player, player wasn't papa
56
Papa loved the ladies
57
Never got enough of
58
Pretty brown round
59
Running round town (Shhhhh)
60
Don't tell your mother what's going down
61
[Repeat 2x]
62
Pop's told me hold my own
63
Pop's told me value home
64
Could I help it papa was a rolling stone
65
Who loved the pretty brown round
66
Out of town bound
67
Jumping in his jazz Benz he touring
68
At home I play his latest recordings
69
And it's strange now how, I do my thing now
70
I'm in the game now
71
And heard of it his brain pow
72
To pull strings and gain power
73
From weed habits are same now
74
No white lines to trumpets to tight rhymes
75
And beats that be pumping
76
Before he left he taught me something
77
A child's young years the most important time to be there
78
That's why he stayed till we grew up, respect is still here
79
I'm older now see what having a father's about
80
One day they can be in your life next day they be out
81
It's not because of you, you know the deal
82
Him and your moms feel
83
If they stay together then someone will get killed
84
I love you still
85
Always will
86
Cause that's my nigga
87
Although you felt you was wrong
88
I still feel you kid
89
Life gose on
