| [00:10.89] |
Young mothers |
| [00:11.24] |
|
| [00:11.77] |
That's right |
| [00:11.99] |
|
| [00:13.67] |
I feel ya hey |
| [00:14.55] |
|
| [00:15.23] |
I know how it is |
| [00:16.25] |
Mama's just a lil' girl |
| [00:17.15] |
|
| [00:17.76] |
Don't nobody understand |
| [00:18.36] |
|
| [00:20.31] |
I feel ya |
| [00:20.73] |
|
| [00:21.58] |
She was |
| [00:21.98] |
Born a heavy set girl with pig tails and curls |
| [00:24.79] |
A heart full of gold |
| [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] |
|
| [00:33.20] |
Should have been a beauty queen |
| [00:34.46] |
Still see here crying by the caskets when here parents got killed |
| [00:36.98] |
Little girl don't cry |
| [00:37.89] |
|
| [00:38.53] |
'Coz even though they died |
| [00:39.77] |
You can best believe they watching over thee from the sky |
| [00:41.98] |
Never asked for this misery |
| [00:43.50] |
But look at what you gettin' |
| [00:44.88] |
It's a blessing in disguise |
| [00:46.26] |
When you find out your pregnant |
| [00:47.63] |
No money no home |
| [00:48.26] |
|
| [00:48.87] |
And even though you all alone |
| [00:50.11] |
You'se got to do this on your own |
| [00:51.91] |
So baby go on |
| [00:52.93] |
I wish you luck |
| [00:53.84] |
And if you need me call |
| [00:55.12] |
Just come to me and let me feed you all |
| [00:57.10] |
I can understand |
| [00:57.81] |
The way it feels when you fighting the world |
| [00:59.87] |
Facing all this drama |
| [01:01.25] |
When mama's just a little girl |
| [01:02.95] |
Don't know why |
| [01:04.69] |
|
| [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 |
| [03:33.28] |
Hey |
| [03:33.78] |
They ain't a thing I wouldn't do for my mamma in this world |
| [03:36.58] |
Cause you know I ain't mad at cha |
| [03:38.53] |
You' just a little girl |
| [03:39.35] |
|
| [03:39.87] |
Hey hey |
| [03:40.94] |
|
| [03:41.81] |
See mammas just a little girl mammas just a little girl |
| [03:44.32] |
|
| [03:45.32] |
Don't know why |
| [03:46.29] |
|
| [03:47.56] |
Mama's just a little girl |
| [03:48.57] |
Mama's just a little girl |
| [03:49.41] |
|
| [03:50.35] |
Baby she is in the night |
| [03:51.61] |
And I ain't facing all this drama cause mamma's just a little girl |
| [03:54.23] |
|
| [03:55.57] |
They ask us why we mutilate each other like we do |
| [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 |
| [04:07.74] |
|
| [04:09.52] |
You see you wouldn't ask why the rose |
| [04:10.51] |
That grew from the concrete had damaged petals |
| [04:12.61] |
|
| [04:13.41] |
On the contrary |
| [04:13.90] |
|
| [04:15.01] |
We would all celebrate |
| [04:15.96] |
It's tenacity |
| [04:16.61] |
|
| [04:17.21] |
We would all love |
| [04:18.02] |
It's will to reach the sun |
| [04:18.95] |
|
| [04:19.70] |
Well |
| [04:19.82] |
|
| [04:20.96] |
We are the roses |
| [04:22.00] |
We are the roses |
| [04:22.84] |
This is the concrete |
| [04:23.67] |
This is the concrete |
| [04:24.51] |
And these are my damaged petals |
| [04:26.00] |
And these are my damaged petals |
| [04:27.25] |
Don't ask me why |
| [04:28.14] |
Don't ask me why |
| [04:29.20] |
Thank God nigga |
| [04:29.99] |
Thank God nigga |
| [04:30.89] |
Ask me how |
| [04:31.33] |
|
| [04:31.97] |
