[00:00.894] If you ask me, since Harlem, our family's always been like
[00:05.258] It's been the best of times, it was the worst of times (Worst)
[00:09.383] I needed a sign
[00:11.458] 2008, my mother passes away (RIP)
[00:14.910] I'm at rock bottom
[00:17.352] Dave's with me through my mother's situation (Yeah, I was)
[00:20.248] But he's still playin' basketball, he's doing his thing (Yeah, I was)
[00:24.145] Two years later, he gives me a call
[00:26.615] He's hit rock bottom (Yeah, I did)
[00:28.462] He's gettin' kicked out of school
[00:31.183] He has another dream: to rap
[00:33.712] He tells me he needs to come back to New York
[00:37.081] And if he has this opportunity, he's gonna make it
[00:46.490] I knew I was already strugglin', I didn't even want him to come back
[00:47.659] And be in the streets, I didn't want him to get into any bullshit
[00:48.356] We didn't really have much, na'mean? We were just together
[00:50.636] All we had was each other and his dream
[00:52.916] I look back now, I think of 6E, that front door (Pals)
[00:57.620] Right by the staircase, perfect place, that back room I grew up in
[01:03.740] He's been such an inspiration to so many
[01:06.188] People see the grind and the pain, the struggle he's gone through (Right)
[01:10.627] That we've been through (Right)
[01:12.770] But this is for everybody out there (Yeah, it is)
[01:15.381] Lookin', thinkin', dreamin', everybody needs a sign (Yeah, they do)
[01:20.347]
[01:33.203] Sometimes you can't see it yourself
[01:36.587] You need a sign, need some help
[01:39.147]
