| Raining-raining, raining-raining
|
| Raining-raining, it’s raining
|
| Now off top Daily life, get deeper than deep
|
| On my toes at all time, cause thieves creep when you sleep
|
| Man I’m hungry for this cash, so my mission’s to eat
|
| Me and my niggas got a dream, to get rich in these streets
|
| Pimping hoes and getting do', is how it’s suppose to be
|
| Be rolling slow and blowing dro, with a heater close to me
|
| But still focused G, cause life ain’t no game
|
| Showing love to them thugs, earning stripes in this game
|
| Through the hype and the fame, cause life it won’t change
|
| Trying to shake these fake snakes, and break the cycle of pain
|
| Man it’s shife in this game, so trust no one
|
| And if some drama come your way, then nigga bust your gun
|
| Nigga bucks gon come, if you got your mind on it
|
| Try to hustle everyday and get it, go and grind homie
|
| Put it on the line homie, give it all you got
|
| Cause when you dead or on lock, that’s when that balling stops
|
| Born gutter, another raised by a single mother
|
| Had to struggle, youngest of three sisters and three brothers
|
| Three bedroom apartment, two rooms were split
|
| One for the girls one for the boys, deal with it that’s it
|
| Had to babysit eachother, mama worked all day
|
| While her kids stayed in drama, doing dirt all day
|
| I saw the hurt in her eyes, picking me up from school
|
| Had a smart mouth got kicked out, for doing the fool
|
| Thinking I’m cool, till I saw that sad look on her face
|
| Hoping her son don’t end up dead, or catching a case
|
| Just make one mistake, and get sent upstate
|
| Get one visit a month, behind glass and the gate
|
| Uh-uh she wanted her baby boy, to live his dreams
|
| Uh-huh, she wanted her baby boy to have the finer things
|
| I guess that’s why, I’m blessed fella
|
| Sometimes it rain harder, hope you got yourself an umbrella
|
| Mama was mama but, mama was daddy too
|
| Cause mama had the knowledge, to do things a daddy do
|
| I woman can’t raise a man, it takes a man to raise a man
|
| Can’t say that, cause she laid down and she made a man
|
| Taught me everything I knew, mama was major man
|
| I’m 24 years old, look how mama made a man
|
| She put food on the table, use to break her neck
|
| Wake up at 4:30 in the morning, just to make a check
|
| I use to drive her car, while she rode the bus to work
|
| She wasn’t tripping, as long as she got us to work
|
| Mama’s like a life mechanic, she got stuff to work
|
| Got mad at her son, when she heard that I touched the work
|
| And mama made sure, I never saw a sad day
|
| She gave me all I need, I never saw a bad day
|
| The man of my house, she did things my dad’s way
|
| That’s why I had to congratulate her, on my dad’s day |
