[00:38.06]We Neno and G-Money man, we all we got
[00:41.07]From the stoop to the big dudes, stoppin' us from playin' hoops
[00:44.32]And us gettin mad, throwin' rocks off the roof
[00:47.15]Straight thuggin' man, I thought we would never progress
[00:49.98]But look at us now man, we're young execs
[00:53.01]My nigga Dame, my nigga Biggs, my nigga Tah

[01:37.41]Product of my environment, nothing can save me
[01:40.13]Thanks for letting me bloom for your wisdom for your womb
[01:43.33]For the roof over my head, for my shoes, for my bed
[01:46.13]For the most important lesson in life was when you said
[01:48.98]"Strive for what you believe in, set goals and you can achieve them"
[01:51.98]Thanks for the days you kept me breathing when my asthma was bad
[01:56.39]And my chest was weezin', thanks for the look of love
[01:58.82]Just as I was leavin'
[02:00.99]On nights you thought that I wouldn't come back
[02:02.78]That left you grieving'
[02:03.78]Thanks for holdin' down the household when times was bad
[02:06.86]As the man, I apologize for my dad
[02:09.52]When the rent was due, you would hustle like a pimp would do
[02:13.44]That wasn't the life meant for you
[02:15.55]You're a queen, you deserve the cream
[02:17.61]Everything that gleamed, everything that shines
[02:20.12]Everything that's mine
