[Verse 1: Mistah F.A.B.]
Mama told me cancer took her strength, now she feelin' weak
Stressed and can't sleep, last time I slept, shit it's been a week
Sad part though, that ain't even what's drivin' me crazy
It's mainey, my mama ain't strong enough to hold my baby
Libby don't know no better, she just think granny don't want her
I picked her up the rest of my life, I swear I'ma hold her
Up or down, situation gon' be occupied
So lost at my mama's funeral I swear I forgot to cry
Only thing I remember is Goapele singing
That's why I cry every time I hear "Closer To My Dreams", man
'Cause I'm gettin' closer to my dreams man
Still in the hood, I be toasting with the fiends, yeah
Made it from the bottom where they be countin' us out
Free my brother, free Reg, I wish my partner was out
If daddy would've been around things would've been different, I suggest
But I can't worry, I hold my head, I'm still blessed
[Chorus: Demarie King & Tirzah]
I remember them long nights (I remember them long nights)
Mama cried in the room (mama cried in the room)
Granny worked them long nights (them long nights)
The lord said we gotta move (lord said we gotta move)
Eviction notes on the door (eviction notes on the door)
'Cause our rent is past due (no no no no no no)
If you been through the struggle (oh no no no)
These thug tears for you, yeah
