[00:10.18]Momma, I just killed a man
[00:23.31]My body still trembling, can you feel my hand?
[00:25.94]Don’t shed no tears, it won’t be long before they find out it was me, Momma
[00:29.35]This may be the last time you see me free, Ma, don't spend it crying
[00:32.58]You did your best, me, I was blessed, know you were stressed trying
[00:35.29]To keep me out the streets, me, ducking police
[00:37.94]Trying not to make a peep to wake you up out your sleep
[00:40.00]A drunk and high fool
[00:41.21]Skipping class, flunking high school
[00:43.23]I know you taught me better, somehow I never learned
[00:46.01]Said I was playing with fire, somehow I never burned
[00:48.60]You tried to set me straight, somehow I never permed
[00:51.28]You tried to show me right, but somehow I never turned
[00:53.94]Lost in a cloud of m*******a, are you 'shamed of me?
[00:56.84]Dry your face, Mommy, you're not to blame for me
[00:59.38]See, I’m a man, I gotta take whatever came for me
[01:02.09]At times I wonder ’bout my father, would it change for me if he was around?
[01:05.76]Would I still be running 'round with the lowlifes?
[01:08.02]Bum ass ****** no jobs, no life
[01:10.07]Seen them ****** kill for no price
[01:11.72]I watched his life flash before his eyes like a strobe light
[01:14.51]I pulled the trigger, Momma
[01:15.58]Tryna be hard, I ain't mean to kill the *****, Momma
[01:18.36]But what’s done is done
[01:19.69]I’m on the run, I live my life like a movie now it’s way too realer
[01:23.48]Who would've thought your baby boy would've grew up to be a killer?
[01:27.20]Yeah, now I’m a killer

[01:47.36]Yeah
[01:47.66]Yeah, I wonder what's in store for me, lately been stressing
[01:50.20]Pray for blessings, hope that there’s more for me than just a simple life
[01:53.27]****** that I used to hoop with is doing triple life
[01:55.95]Gave up the jump shot, worked on the gunshot
[01:58.73]Who woulda thought? I used to block this *****'s lay-ups
[02:01.36]Now he’s in a cell layed up, I wish you well, stay up
[02:04.29]Like insomniacs, this life can make a
[02:06.52]***** fold like a laundry mat, I sip this cognac, though
[02:09.70]To ease my brain from all this pain and so that I react slow
[02:12.49]In this fast world, slow ******, fast girls
[02:14.87]Ho's give up ass while these ho ****** hold triggers
[02:17.60]Blast on ‘em, hold up that old checker flag for ‘em
[02:20.38]Chalk lines by the do not park sign, it’s deep
[02:23.65]All these cold hearted ****** holding heat
[02:25.80]I’d rather blast before they steal a *****
[02:28.76]Tell ‘em now boy, don’t make me turn into a killer, *****

[03:08.69]I washed the blisters on my hands and then I'd dial up
[03:11.60]My best friend, skating rink is where we headed at night
[03:14.52]And if a ***** disrespect, oh yes, we ready to fight
[03:17.35]In retrospect that shit seem petty, at the time the shit was heavy
[03:19.87]'Cause life was all about your name
[03:21.63]You had to scrap with any ***** that would call you lame
[03:24.48]Ashamed no doubt, so many ****** got their brains blowed out
[03:27.65]Snatch a ****** chain and he got his name wrote out

[03:46.59]City that he went to, went hard like the rent due
