[Verse 1]
I'm gonna take you back to 1980
People thought she was crazy for keepin' her baby
Being only thirteen, thinking how she would love her son
Barely a child herself, now she would mother one
When that had come to past some had wondered how she had made it by
Some had bets on the side that she wouldn't live to see '85
But she would prove them wrong, corazon kickin' strong
And like the calm before storm, so was mom when it was on
Back in '86 as he grew up in the mix
Watchin' his mother hang around business
Slang the 'caine to make them licks
Strugglin' year after year, switchin' daddy to daddy
Last one had him a Lincoln, this one got him a Caddy
Plus a house in the subs and apartments run by thugs
Pushin' dubs to them scrubs 'cuz he got a connect with killa bud
Little young buck seen all of that
Then the man had a hand on that crack
And he out there lookin' for tar that come black
Cuz he know that smack on a comeback
He was nothin' but 9 years old doin' nothin' but what he was told
Always the one that would have to hold
Till the man let him know when it was sold
Then he would take what wrapped in the paper sack
Make the drop and he'd make it back
Imagine that
To play the mac
And not know how one's supposed to act
