[00:25.86]Still it won't change the world
[00:27.30]Though she could never understand why
[00:29.17]Some underhanded plans witnessed a man die
[00:31.51]
[00:32.02]Was only 15
[00:32.62]

[00:44.88]It's a blessing in disguise
[00:46.26]When you find out your pregnant

[01:06.23]Mama's just a little girl
[01:07.18]
[01:08.63]Given that she is or not
[01:09.77]
[01:12.23]Time ain't on her side
[01:14.58]
[01:16.17]'Cause mama's just a little girl mama's just a little girl
[01:18.67]She gotta hold her head up high
[01:20.19]
[01:22.70]At 16 what a beautiful thing
[01:24.53]The very essence of a jet black ebony queen
[01:27.14]And who could tell she would get pregnant at an early age
[01:29.40]She didn't listen had sex
[01:30.85]Watch her belly raise hey
[01:32.66]Got violated by someone she dated
[01:34.36]If this is fate I hate to see the seed she created
[01:36.99]So we wait though it takes time to build the body and the mind
[01:40.28]She reclines 9 months
[01:41.51]Then finally
[01:42.39]It's time
[01:42.92]What do we find
[01:43.54]
[01:44.30]A little grown boy a mind with a tortured soul
[01:46.43]Addicted to a life of crime at no time of the growing stage
[01:49.65]He learned his values on the streets at an early age
[01:52.00]Watch for police
[01:53.06]Don't come home why
[01:54.54]'Coz mammas acting crazy
[01:55.59]At the hospital
[01:56.63]'Bout to have another baby
[01:58.07]Like the rose from concrete
[01:59.50]Grown within
[02:00.47]Blessed with twins
[02:01.23]How the hell can mamma raise 3 men
[02:03.06]So we began a closest family
[02:04.60]Such insanity
[02:05.73]A happy home
[02:06.84]For one act inhumanity
[02:08.16]Plus mammas said the seed was corrupted
[02:10.32]Used the rubber belly
[02:11.34]Begging us to breathe if she love us
[02:12.96]Now mamma sits quiet
[02:14.03]Sipping peppermint schnapps
[02:15.09]Turned the house into a spot and made her watch for cops hey
[02:17.66]
[02:18.23]How could mamma bring a thug like me into this world
[02:20.43]She ain't the cause of all the drama
[02:22.28]Cause mommas just a little girl
[02:23.81]Don't know why
[02:25.48]
[02:27.07]Mama's just a little girl
[02:27.94]
[02:29.48]Liven if she is or not
[02:30.56]
[02:32.97]Time ain't on her side
[02:35.50]
[02:36.97]Cause ama's just a little girl mama's just a little girl
[02:39.64]She gotta hold her head up high how could she raise us
[02:42.40]
[02:43.10]Now
[02:43.79]Would she remain in the same spot
[02:45.58]The gunshots rang they came from the cane spot
[02:47.65]Now look here
[02:48.55]I see her clutching her son
[02:49.86]In her arms she hurt
[02:51.08]Her heart bleeding as she watched her seed die in the dirt
[02:53.58]Fulfill prophecy
[02:54.44]But who could stop the grief
[02:55.90]I walk around trying to hold the world up on top me
[02:58.43]Probably be an innocent man
[02:59.67]But still I'm the victim of a curse
[03:01.33]What could be worse
[03:02.17]Nothing but pain
[03:02.96]Since my birth taught me functions at the pen
[03:05.23]Cause everybody's in paying back society
[03:07.06]I'm guilty of a life of sin
[03:08.84]I watched the drama occur
[03:10.01]My eyes blurred 'fore I jet it
[03:11.46]I wonder why we all have to die for we get it
[03:14.38]Though we shed tears
[03:15.24]So many peers I done buried
[03:16.53]Worried and scared
[03:17.37]Knowing I'ma see the cemetery
[03:18.61]Must be prepared in this cold world
[03:20.19]
[03:20.86]No one cares
[03:21.70]No it ain't fair
[03:22.62]But we all there
[03:23.57]And do our share
[03:24.44]In this land of underhanded schemes and plans
[03:26.31]Vivid dreams of a nigga having g's in hand
[03:28.40]Mamma told me not to be a punk
[03:30.30]
[03:30.89]F**k what you talking about coward
[03:32.35]What you niggas want

[03:57.84]
[03:58.68]And wonder why we hold such little worth for human life
[04:02.02]Facing all this drama
[04:03.54]But to ask us why we to turn from bad to worse
[04:05.75]
[04:06.52]Is to ignore from which we came

[04:10.51]That grew from the concrete had damaged petals
[04:12.61]
