[00:39.93] | 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 |
[00:48.34] | |
[00:48.92] | 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 |
[00:57.47] | |
[00:58.17] | Poor Isis, that's his momma name |
[00:59.88] | Momma ain't strong enough to raise |
[01:01.62] | no boy, what's his father name |
[01:03.59] | Shorty never knew him |
[01:04.84] | though he had his blood in him |
[01:06.26] | Hot temper, momma said he act |
[01:08.05] | just like her husband |
[01:09.17] | Daddy never ****ed with him |
[01:10.68] | so the streets raised him |
[01:12.02] | Isis blaming herself |
[01:12.83] | she wish she could've saved him |
[01:14.28] | |
[01:14.80] | Damn near impossible, only men can raise men |
[01:17.54] | He was his own man |
[01:18.58] | not even him can save him |
[01:20.27] | He put his faith in a |
[01:21.48] | thirty-eight in his waist |
[01:22.85] | But when you live by |
[01:24.11] | the gun you die by the same fate |
[01:25.81] | End up, dead before thirty-eight and umm |
[01:28.82] | That's the life of us raised |
[01:30.31] | by winter, it's a cold world |
[01:32.33] | Old girl turned to coke |
[01:33.53] | 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 |
[01:39.36] | 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 |
[01:51.72] | |
[01:52.29] | 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 |
[02:03.62] | And the stars were just right |
[02:05.11] | and the dress was real tight |
[02:06.33] | 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 |
[02:28.99] | |
[02:29.53] | But I-sis, like this, Broadway life |
[02:31.57] | She loved the Gucci sneakers |
[02:33.49] | the red green and whites |
[02:35.05] | 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 |
[02:40.46] | |
[02:40.98] | How ironic it would, be some fight that |
[02:43.79] | turned into a homicide |
[02:45.17] | that'll alter their life |
[02:46.57] | See Mike at thirty-two was |
[02:47.79] | still on the scene |
[02:49.44] | Had a son fifteen that he never saw twice |
[02:51.67] | |
[02:52.26] | Sure he saw him as an infant |
[02:53.88] | but he dissed on him like |
[02:55.34] | "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 |
[03:03.09] | |
[03:03.69] | Mike was still crazy out there running |
[03:05.60] | the streets (**** niggas want?) |
[03:06.69] | Had his old reliable |
[03:07.69] | with thirty-eight gun in his reach |
[03:09.35] | It's been fourteen years |
[03:10.69] | 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 |
[03:17.61] | |
[03:18.22] | And it looked so familiar |
[03:19.68] | that he called him "Young Cuz" |
[03:20.70] | Told him, get off the strip |
[03:22.30] | but the boy ain't budge (**** you) |
[03:23.94] | Instead he pulled out a newer thirty-eight snub |
[03:26.62] | He clearly had the drop |
[03:28.14] | but the boy just paused (hold up) |
[03:29.39] | There was somethin in this man's |
[03:30.95] | face he knew he seen before |
[03:32.31] | It's like, lookin in the mirror |
[03:33.74] | seeing hisself more mature |
[03:34.88] | |
[03:35.42] | And he took it as a sign from the almighty Lord |
[03:38.24] | You know what they say about he |
[03:39.94] | 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 |
[03:46.49] | The old man didn't think he |
[03:47.95] | just followed his instinct |
[03:49.36] | |
[03:49.92] | Six shots into his kid, out of the gun |
[03:52.58] | Niggas be a father, you're Killing your son |
