[00:04.90] | Sean Carter was born December 4th |
[00:07.88] | Weighing in at 10 pounds 8 ounces |
[00:11.76] | He was the last of my 4 children |
[00:13.87] | The only one who didn’t give me any pain when I gave birth to him |
[00:18.33] | And that’s how I knew that he was a special child |
[00:33.43] | |
[00:34.57] | They say "they never really miss you til you dead or you gone" |
[00:36.55] | So on that note i’m leaving after the song |
[00:38.56] | So you ain’t gotta feel no way about Jay so long |
[00:41.60] | Atleast let me tell you why i’m this way, Hold on |
[00:44.36] | I was conceived by Gloria Carter and Adaness Revees |
[00:46.99] | Who made love under the Siccamore tree |
[00:48.82] | Which makes me |
[00:49.84] | A more sicker emcee my momma would claim |
[00:52.11] | At 10 pounds when I was born I didn’t give her no pain |
[00:55.12] | Although through the years I gave her her fair share |
[00:57.66] | I gave her her first real scare |
[00:58.98] | I made it from birth and I got here |
[01:00.21] | She knows my purpose wasn’t purpose I ain’t perfect I care |
[01:05.25] | But I feel worthless cause my shirts wasn’t matchin my gear |
[01:05.65] | Now i’m just scratchin the surface cause what’s burried under there |
[01:08.49] | Was a kid torn apart once his pop disappeared |
[01:11.08] | I went to school got good grades could behave when I wanted |
[01:13.62] | But I had demons deep inside that would raise when confronted |
[01:16.40] | Hold on |
[01:19.75] | |
[01:20.69] | Shawn was a very shy child growing up |
[01:21.03] | He was into sports |
[01:22.29] | And a funny story is |
[01:24.76] | At 4 he taught hisself how to ride a bike |
[01:28.14] | A two wheeler at that |
[01:30.08] | Isn’t that special? |
[01:32.50] | But, I noticed a chance in him when me and my husband broke up |
[01:37.36] | |
[01:38.42] | Now all the teachers couldn’t reach me |
[01:39.48] | And my momma couldn’t beat me |
[01:40.67] | Hard enough to match the pain of my pops not seeing me, SO |
[01:43.88] | With that distain in my membrain |
[01:45.82] | Got on my pimp game |
[01:46.89] | **** the world my defense came |
[01:49.22] | Then Dahaven introuced me to the game |
[01:51.32] | Spanish Jose introduced me to cane |
[01:53.46] | I’m a hustler now |
[01:54.49] | My gear is in and i’m in the in crowd |
[01:56.63] | And all the wavey light skinned girls is lovin me now |
[01:59.24] | My self esteem went through the roof man I got my swag |
[02:01.81] | Got a volvo from this girl when her man got bagged |
[02:04.52] | Plus I hit my momma with cash from a show that I had |
[02:07.20] | Supposedly knowin nobody paid Jaz wack ass |
[02:09.90] | I’m geting ahead of myself, by the way, I could rap |
[02:12.59] | That came second to me movin this crack |
[02:14.70] | Gimme a second I swear |
[02:16.25] | I will say about my rap career |
[02:18.00] | Til 96 came niggas i’m here |
[02:20.64] | Good-bye |
[02:21.68] | |
[02:22.46] | Shawn use to be in the kitchen |
[02:22.89] | Beating on the table and rapping |
[02:24.62] | And um, until the wee hours of the morning |
[02:27.13] | And then I bought him a boom box |
[02:32.48] | And his sisters and brothers said he would drive them nuts |
[02:36.40] | But that was my way to keep him close to me and out of trouble |
[02:41.15] | |
[02:41.96] | Good-bye to the game all the spoils, the adreneline rush |
[02:44.82] | Your blood boils you in a spot knowing cops could rush |
[02:47.42] | And you in a drop your so easy to touch |
[02:49.43] | No two days are alike |
[02:51.06] | Except the first and fifteenth pretty much |
[02:52.83] | And "trust" is a word you seldom hear from us |
[02:55.54] | Hustlers we don’t sleep we rest one eye up |
[02:58.26] | And the drought to find a man when the well dries up |
[03:00.96] | You learn to work the water without workin thirst til die YUP |
[03:03.90] | And niggas get tied up for product |
[03:05.85] | And little brothers ring fingers get cut up |
[03:07.44] | To show mothers they really got em |
[03:09.02] | And this was the stress I live with til I decided |
[03:11.15] | To try this rap shit for a livin |
[03:13.54] | I Pray i’m forgiven |
[03:14.80] | For every bad decision I made |
[03:16.36] | Every sister I played |
[03:17.96] | Cause i’m still paranoid to this day |
[03:19.70] | And it’s nobody fault I made the decisions I made |
[03:22.53] | This is the life I chose or rather the life that chose me |
[03:25.22] | |
[03:25.55] | If you can’t respect that your whole perspective is wack |
[03:27.80] | Maybe you’ll love me when I fade to black |
[03:30.11] | |
[03:30.73] | If you can’t respect that your whole perspective is wack |
[03:33.19] | Maybe you’ll love me when I fade to black |
