[00:00:18] My pops maybe was late but always came home

[00:00:21] My moms would put us to bed and she would wait on

[00:00:25] Soon as he walk in the door she barking

[00:00:27] I turned out the Jonny Carson

[00:00:28] Jumped out the bed

[00:00:30] We grabbed both his legs

[00:00:31] Me and my brother

[00:00:32] Not knowing the pain he gave my mother

[00:00:34] Night after night fighting yelling at each other

[00:00:37] My papa played the street all day

[00:00:39] Mama was either home at work while we played inside the hall way

[00:00:43] She sacrifices all she got to feed us

[00:00:45] When she was alone she cried by the phone pepping out the window heeding

[00:00:49] But still I didn't see it

[00:00:51] Mama hid it from us

[00:00:53] We was kids younger

[00:01:29] That's why I show my pop love

[00:01:31] He was still around when I f**ked up

[00:01:33] He could have left

[00:01:34] My moms pregnant shock to death but stayed

[00:01:36] Watch me crawl till I took my first step to the first grade

[00:01:39] To my first fist fight

[00:01:40] Right behind me he would stand

[00:01:42] No matter how big or tall he made me fight you like a man

[00:01:45] Throw dirt in your eye swing my right scoop your ass and slam

[00:01:48] He watched me so I wouldn't get jumped by shorty's fam

[00:01:51] Roaches and weed all over my crib him and moms relaxing

[00:01:55] Next thing you know he packing

[00:01:57] So then I asked him

[00:02:01] Papa why you butt ass from the waist

[00:02:02] And who's this lady I'm facing

[00:02:05] He grabbed me up to run some smooth words by me

[00:02:08] Promise things that he would buy me

[00:02:10] If I kept my mouth close and don't tell mommy

[00:02:12] He said one day I'll understand little me

[00:02:56] I'm in the game now

[00:02:57] And heard of it his brain pow

[00:02:58] To pull strings and gain power

[00:03:00] From weed habits are same now

[00:03:01] No white lines to trumpets to tight rhymes

[00:03:03] And beats that be pumping

[00:03:04] Before he left he taught me something

[00:03:06] A child's young years the most important time to be there

[00:03:09] That's why he stayed till we grew up respect is still here

[00:03:12] I'm older now see what having a father's about

[00:03:15] One day they can be in your life next day they be out

[00:03:18] It's not because of you you know the deal

[00:03:20] Him and your moms feel

[00:03:21] If they stay together then someone will get killed

[00:03:24] I love you still

[00:03:25] Always will

[00:03:26] Cause that's my nigga

[00:03:27] Although you felt you was wrong
