[00:02.31]How much of the trauma did mama get, aye
[00:04.86]Way up to the highest level, the drama gets, aye
[00:07.90]The pain of my mother's heartache was on a display
[00:10.95]Y'all don't want a sick day to my mama's dismay
[00:13.99]Thinking of all of it
[00:15.72]I never wanted a part of it
[00:17.23]Remember I wanted to let go
[00:18.72]When smoking, I managed to get low
[00:20.28]It coulda been worse like when I was talking to homies
[00:21.86]When the cellular phone up on death row
[00:23.34]When I never had the service stretched so
[00:24.80]I still stay, but I'm blessed though
[00:26.49]But why did I have to hear mama getting beat
[00:29.78]In third grade, so I couldn't really give him missing teeth
[00:32.87]But I knew from grandma
[00:34.01]That what you sew you're gonna freaking reap
[00:35.85]So he robbed a bank and got about 30 years
[00:37.56]In the pin for the mission, peace
[00:39.26]Blessed to get away
[00:40.68]But stressed to this day
[00:41.98]When checks hit a nay
[00:43.53]No money, depressed and it's grey
[00:45.26]But the family didn't stutter to pull her
[00:47.51]And the kid inside their homes
[00:49.05]Sometimes it was butter and sugar sandwiches
[00:51.05]Graduated to healthy niggas
[00:52.73]Try'na protect this investment
[00:54.55]Moving like stealthy figures
[00:56.06]All that poverty and pain it really helped me give a damn
[00:59.34]It dealt me this killer jam, now wealthy I'm living grand
[01:02.39]Still I felt these shivers
[01:03.74]And the cold nights living through all these stressors
[01:06.54]I'm feeling like
[01:07.35]I had a lifelong baby bib to protect me from messes
[01:10.04]Around my neck so I'm safe as far as threats go
[01:12.62]From the last row to the best flow
[01:14.20]I can now say that I'm blessed though
[01:15.85]All of these things that get me down
[01:19.96]I know it's gotta be an upside down
[01:24.36]Found somewhere, yeah
[01:27.89]If I can't pick my face up off the ground
[01:32.55]And I don't know what's next
[01:35.32]Hollow, but I'm blessed
[01:40.58]All of these things that get me down
[01:45.17]I know it's gotta be an upside down
[01:48.84]Found somewhere, yeah
[01:52.70]If I can't pick my face up off the ground
[01:57.17]And I don't know what's next
[01:59.79]I'm hollow, but I'm blessed, yeah
[02:04.99]Under pressure
[02:07.69]Feel like God
[02:08.91]No discussion when I pull that card
[02:11.91]Until I say different
[02:13.52]I know what I know
[02:15.56]Under pressure
[02:20.04]Feel like God
[02:21.30]No discussion when I pull that card
[02:24.14]Until I say different
[02:26.03]I know what I know
