| [02:48.63] | Not to start beef but spark trees, no cops rollin by |
| [02:51.30] | No policemen, no homicide, no chalk on the streets |
| [02:54.32] | No reason, for nobody's momma to cry |
| [02:56.53] | See I'm a good guy, I'm tryin to stick around for my daughter |
| [02:59.10] | But if I should die, I know all of my albums support her |
| [03:01.76] | This whole year's been crazy, asked the Holy Spirit to save me |
| [03:04.72] | Only difference from me and Ossie Davis, gray hair maybe |
| [03:07.54] | Cause I feel like my eyes saw too much sufferin |
| [03:10.01] | I'm just twenty-some-odd years, I done lost my mother |
| [03:13.08] | And I cried tears of joy, I know she smiles on her boy |
| [03:15.52] | I dream of you more, my love goes to Afeni Shakur |
