[00:11.30] |
You came into my mother's life at the right time |
[00:13.90] |
More than a step-father more of like a lifeline |
[00:16.45] |
She ain't really had happiness since my pop died |
[00:19.25] |
She was living but living is always not alive |
[00:21.88] |
And my momma should be treated like a queen |
[00:24.22] |
You gave her everything she ever needed like a queen |
[00:27.05] |
Probably the most gentle G I ever seen |
[00:29.62] |
The love y'all shared I never seen in human beings |
[00:32.41] |
Y'all were together twelve years never no fights |
[00:35.25] |
Not even a little argument that was so nice |
[00:38.05] |
Three of us eating dinner together most nights |
[00:40.64] |
Working seven days a week that ain't no life |
[00:43.26] |
But never once did I hear you complain |
[00:45.33] |
Even when they let you go |
[00:46.53] |
Never hear you with blame |
[00:47.76] |
|
[00:48.62] |
It take a real man to walk through the rain |
[00:50.68] |
He was a real man who got sick |
[00:52.29] |
And fought through the pain |
[00:53.20] |
|
[00:54.34] |
I am made of all four corners |
[00:59.73] |
All directions without the borders |
[01:03.95] |
|
[01:04.88] |
I am strung so loose together |
[01:09.44] |
And you're a thread that holds forever |
[01:14.82] |
|
[01:16.03] |
I'm not nobody's baby |
[01:24.65] |
|
[01:26.62] |
You had your shit too |
[01:30.09] |
But you always came through for me |
[01:35.89] |
|
[01:36.77] |
I walked in that morning |
[01:38.07] |
And knew something was wrong |
[01:39.36] |
I tried to talk to you Rock you didn't respond |
[01:42.03] |
I called 9-1-1 and then ran for my moms |
[01:44.76] |
Waiting for the ambulance and I tried to be calm |
[01:47.36] |
Moms went with you |
[01:48.30] |
I stayed and held down the fort |
[01:49.97] |
I was nervous I was crying and really distraught |
[01:52.64] |
I was alone by myself |
[01:54.08] |
Just left with my thoughts |
[01:55.50] |
Mommy called |
[01:56.12] |
Told me that you had a stroke and fought |
[01:58.02] |
I ain't seen a hospital since my father died |
[02:00.76] |
I don't like it there memories is locked inside |
[02:03.42] |
When I walked inside the room we started to cry |
[02:05.81] |
|
[02:06.53] |
I was just so happy that you was alive |
[02:08.89] |
And you told you how much |
[02:09.97] |
That you hate the hospital |
[02:11.40] |
And that they thieves are trying |
[02:12.76] |
To keep their pockets full |
[02:14.18] |
I think I hold myself a little bit responsible |
[02:16.61] |
When you was smoking all the time |
[02:18.12] |
I wasn't stopping you |
[02:19.37] |
Nevertheless you came home and that was real |
[02:22.06] |
A lot of therapy and doctors gave you lots of pills |
[02:24.77] |
You couldn't thrive anymore |
[02:26.17] |
You had to stop and chill |
[02:27.38] |
And that's too much for anybody |
[02:28.85] |
That can stop your will |
[02:29.80] |
|
[02:30.97] |
But you never got back to your norm |
[02:32.73] |
You was proud |
[02:33.55] |
Didn't want any help from my mom |
[02:35.44] |
I left for tour |
[02:36.29] |
And you asked me how long I'd be gone |
[02:38.08] |
And I could see inside your eyes |
[02:39.42] |
You knew something was wrong |
[02:40.76] |
I got back mommy told me you was sick again |
[02:42.94] |
|
[02:43.45] |
Couldn't believe |
[02:44.05] |
That we was going through this shit again |
[02:46.07] |
I love you Rock |
[02:47.05] |
And I'm always gonna miss you friend |
[02:49.03] |
And for me it's just the same story |
[02:50.60] |
Different pen |
[02:51.30] |
|
[02:51.91] |
I am made of all four corners |
[02:57.25] |
All directions without the borders |
[03:01.30] |
|
[03:02.42] |
I am strung so loose together |
[03:06.77] |
And you're a thread that holds forever |
[03:12.80] |
|
[03:13.58] |
I'm not nobody's baby |
[03:22.38] |
|
[03:23.95] |
You had your shit too |
[03:27.55] |
But you always came through for me |
[03:33.73] |
