[00:39.92] | So give Big a hug tell Aa-liyah I said hi |
[00:43.25] | 'Til the next time I see her on the other side |
[00:45.44] | |
[00:45.99] | He was just some thug that caught some slugs |
[00:48.33] | |
[00:48.91] | And we loved him cause in him we saw some of us |
[00:51.87] | He walked like us talked like us |
[00:54.00] | |
[00:54.63] | His back against the wall |
[00:55.85] | Nigga fought like us - damn |
[00:57.46] | |
[00:58.16] | Poor Isis that's his momma name |
[00:59.88] | Momma ain't strong enough to raise |
[01:01.61] | No boy what's his father name |
[01:03.59] | Shorty never knew him |
[01:04.83] | Though he had his blood in him |
[01:06.26] | Hot temper momma said he act |
[01:08.05] | Just like her husband |
[01:09.16] | Daddy never f**ked with him |
[01:10.68] | So the streets raised him |
[01:12.01] | Isis blaming herself |
[01:12.83] | She wish she could've saved him |
[01:14.28] | |
[01:14.79] | Damn near impossible only men can raise men |
[01:17.54] | He was his own man |
[01:18.57] | Not even him can save him |
[01:20.26] | He put his faith in a |
[01:21.47] | Thirty-eight in his waist |
[01:22.85] | But when you live by |
[01:24.10] | The gun you die by the same fate |
[01:25.80] | End up dead before thirty-eight and umm |
[01:28.81] | That's the life of us raised |
[01:30.30] | By winter it's a cold world |
[01:32.33] | Old girl turned to coke |
[01:33.52] | Tried to smoke her pain away |
[01:35.05] | Isis life just ended on that rainy day |
[01:37.92] | When she got the news her boy |
[01:39.35] | Body could be viewed |
[01:40.32] | Down at the City Morgue |
[01:41.58] | Opened the drawer saw him nude |
[01:43.26] | Her addiction grew prescription drugs shift and brew |
[01:47.10] | Angel dust dipped in WOO |
[01:49.24] | She slipped into her own fantasy world |
[01:51.71] | |
[01:52.28] | Had herself pregnant by a different dude |
[01:54.75] | But reality bites and this is her life |
[01:57.79] | He wasn't really her husband |
[01:59.44] | Though he called her wife |
[02:00.67] | It was just this night when moon was full |
[02:03.61] | And the stars were just right |
[02:05.11] | And the dress was real tight |
[02:06.32] | Had her sounding like Lisa Lisa |
[02:08.17] | I wonder if I take you home |
[02:09.51] | Will you still love me after this night |
[02:11.54] | |
[02:12.51] | Mike was the hardhead from the around the way |
[02:14.83] | That she wanted all her life |
[02:16.49] | Shit she wanted all the hype |
[02:18.10] | Used to hold on tight |
[02:19.38] | When he wheelied on the bike |
[02:20.63] | He was a Willie all her life |
[02:22.00] | He wasn't really the one to like |
[02:23.44] | It was a dude named Shy who |
[02:25.22] | Would really treat her right |
[02:26.40] | He wanted to run to the country |
[02:27.75] | To escape the city life |
[02:28.98] | |
[02:29.52] | But I-sis like this Broadway life |
[02:31.57] | She loved the Gucci sneakers |
[02:33.49] | The red green and whites |
[02:35.04] | Hangin out the window when |
[02:36.46] | She first seen him fight |
[02:37.96] | She was so turned on that |
[02:39.40] | She had to shower twice |
[02:40.45] | |
[02:40.98] | How ironic it would be some fight that |
[02:43.79] | Turned into a homicide |
[02:45.16] | That'll alter their life |
[02:46.57] | See Mike at thirty-two was |
[02:47.79] | Still on the scene |
[02:49.43] | Had a son fifteen that he never saw twice |
[02:51.67] | |
[02:52.25] | Sure he saw him as an infant |
[02:53.87] | But he dissed on him like |
[02:55.33] | "If that was my son he would look much different |
[02:58.06] | See I'm light-skinned and that baby there's dark |
[03:00.77] | So it's momma's baby; poppa's maybe |
[03:03.08] | |
[03:03.68] | Mike was still crazy out there running |
[03:05.59] | The streets (f**k niggas want ) |
[03:06.68] | Had his old reliable |
[03:07.68] | With thirty-eight gun in his reach |
[03:09.35] | It's been fourteen years |
[03:10.68] | Him and Isis ain't speak |
[03:12.16] | He running around like life's a peach 'til one day |
[03:15.18] | He approached this thug that had a mean mug |
[03:17.60] | |
[03:18.22] | And it looked so familiar |
[03:19.67] | That he called him "Young Cuz" |
[03:20.69] | Told him get off the strip |
[03:22.30] | But the boy ain't budge (f**k you) |
[03:23.94] | Instead he pulled out a newer thirty-eight snub |
[03:26.62] | He clearly had the drop |
[03:28.13] | But the boy just paused (hold up) |
[03:29.38] | There was somethin in this man's |
[03:30.95] | Face he knew he seen before |
[03:32.30] | It's like lookin in the mirror |
[03:33.74] | Seeing hisself more mature |
[03:34.87] | |
[03:35.41] | And he took it as a sign from the almighty Lord |
[03:38.23] | You know what they say about he |
[03:39.93] | Who hesitates in war |
[03:41.21] | (What's that ) He who hesitates is lost |
[03:43.63] | He can't explain what he saw before |
[03:45.51] | His picture went blank |
[03:46.48] | The old man didn't think he |
[03:47.94] | Just followed his instinct |
[03:49.35] | |
[03:49.91] | Six shots into his kid out of the gun |
