Yeah, grew up with killers, I ain't know they was killers We was just together man, playing Mega Man on Sega, man Your mama loved me to death, she reminded me of Afeni Yeah, a real black queen If I had a genie, I'd wish that she ain't struggle no more Y'all wouldn't have to go to sleep with all the roaches if she wasn't so poor You told me when you came to my house this sh*t was like a timeout From reality, one night you asked me what I'm crying 'bout 'Cause you was staying over for the weekend I woke up from out my sleep when I heard mama and my stepfather beefin' I don't know if he'd been drinkin', but I know this sh*t got loud And I heard rumbling from struggling and rolling on the ground Could never get used to that sound, my mama saying "Get off me!" My tears is tumbling now, I wish that you never saw me 'Cause I felt like a coward, so powerless I was only twelve I wish I wouldla bust through that door my f*cking self And grab the Glock right off the f*cking shelf, if nothing else Scared a n*gga sh*tless, there goes two of my wishes Forever scarred, determined to get some heart No matter how big the n*gga, no matter how small you are Fast forward to our older years, two different paths You used to talk to me 'bout college, but that sh*t didn't last Waste of potential, getting cash, what could I say? So tired of not having things, you'd never see it my way, too proud to fold Your demise, one day much to my surprise My n*gga called me, told me you just caught a body twice your size I asked if it was self-defense, he said it was defense of pride And that they tryna give you ten, but if you lucky you'll do five, damn Not my n*gga, the same one that told me That things always get better, just trust me, don't cry my n*gga The news call him a killer, but he my n*gga Sad sh*t, ayo genie last wish, free my n*gga
