1970 somethin
Nigga I dont sweat the date, my moms is late
So I had to plan my escape, out the skins
In this world, the fly girl
Tanqueray or Hennessy until I called Earl
Ten months in this gut, what the fuck
I wish moms would hurry up so I could get buck
While, Juvenile rippin mics and shit
New York, New York ready for the likes of this
Every single day, Im blessed to look into his eyes
And I cant help but see no-one, but you
You gave the gift of motherhood
And I raised him up, the best I could
Never got to know you, but hes so much like you
And its a damn shame
Why youre not here today
I try my best to explain
Why did you go?
But a child just dont understand
Ohh
No-way
And Im never let em forget you
Youre forever in their hearts
One in the same
So glad you came
To carry on the name
I know that youre lookin down, and youre so proud
I know youre lookin down
I can see your smile
You left a special part of you, with me
Duh nuh, duh nuh
Uh, then came the worst date, May, 21st
2:19 is when my mamas water burst
No spouse in the house, so she rolls herself
To the hospital, to see if she could get a little help
Umbilical chords wraped around my neck
Im seein my death, and I aint even took my first step
I made it out, Im bringin mad joy
The doctor looked and said Hes gonna be a Bad Boy.
One in the same
So glad you came
To carry on the name
I know that youre lookin down, and youre so proud
I know youre lookin down
I can see your smile
You left a special part of you, with me
Duh nuh, duh nuh
And its a damn shame
Why youre not here today
I try my best to explain
Why did you go?
But a child just dont understand
Ohh
No-way
And Im never let em forget you
Youre forever in our hearts
