Meet The Parents

Unknown

First they love me, then they hate me, then they love me again

Let's take a trip down memory, lane at the cemetery

Rain, grey skies, seems at the end of every

Young black life is this line, "Damn, him already?

Such a good kid," got us pouring Henn' already

Liquor to the curb for my, niggas up above

When it, cracks through the pavement that's my way of sending love

So, give Big a hug, tell Aaliyah I said hi

'Til the next time I see her, on the other side

He was just some thug that, caught some slugs

And we loved him 'cause, in him we, saw some of us

His back against the wall, nigga fought like us, damn

Mama ain't strong enough to raise no boy, what's his father name?

Shorty never knew him, though he had his blood in him

Hot temper, mama said he act just like her husband

Daddy never fucked with him, so the streets raised him

Isis blaming herself, she wish she could of saved him

Damn near impossible, only men can raise men

He was his own man, not even him can save him

He put his faith in her, thirty-eight in his waist

But when you live by the gun you die by the same fate

That's the life of us raised by winter, it's a cold world

Old girl turned to coke, tried to smoke her pain away

When she got the news her boy body could be viewed

Down at the City Morgue, opened the drawer, saw him nude

Her addiction grew, prescription drugs, sippn' brew

He wasn't really her husband, though he called her wife

It was just this night when, moon was full

And the stars were just right, and the dress was real tight

Had her sounding like Lisa Lisa, I wonder if I take you home

Mike was the hard head from the around the way

That she wanted all her life, shit she wanted all the hype

Used to hold on tight when he wheelied on the bike

He was a Willie all her life he wasn't really the one to like

It was a, dude named Shy who would really treat her right

He wanted to run to the country to escape the city life

She loved the Gucci sneakers, the red green and whites

Hanging out the window when she first seen him fight

She was so turned on that she had to shower twice

Turned into a homicide that'll alter their life

See Mike at thirty-two was still on the scene

Had a son fifteen that he never saw twice

Sure he saw him as an infant, but he dissed on him like

"If that was my son, he would look much different

See I'm light-skinnded and that baby there's dark

Mike was still crazy out there running the streets (fuck niggas want?)

Had his old reliable thirty-eight gun in his reach

It's been fourteen years, him and Isis ain't speak

He running around like life's a peach, 'til one day

He approached this thug that, had a mean mug

And it looked so familiar that he called him "Young Cuz"

Told him, get off the strip but the boy ain't budge (fuck you)

Instead he pulled out a newer thirty-eight snub

He clearly had the drop but the boy just paused (hold up)

There was something in this man's face he knew he seen before

It's like, looking in the mirror seeing his self more mature

And he took it as a sign from the almighty Lord

You know what they say about he who hesitates in war

He can't explain what he saw before his picture went blank

The old man didn't think he just followed his instinct

Niggas be a father, you're killing your son

Niggas be a father, you killing your sons
