Lyrics
Mama, pray for me please, I'm going outside I'll be on the corner where my father died I just hope my honor isn't compromised It's the only thing, oh Mama, stay for me please until I'm grown I can't face the troubles of this world alone A world where they [?] making on Such a heavy cross to bear It's really real out there [Black Thought] Yo, yo I could still hear my mother's voice Telling me what to do if I don't have another choice To never give the dеvil a reason he should rejoicе You better than the ignorant, he been so killed the noise I've been down on my luck 'til I was real thin I slid way out of touch into a tailspin But I could tell you this much Tour reflexes come through in a clutch As long as you don't ever fail them Ayo, my mom used to make beds and vacuums And pick up towels in dirty hotel bathrooms I used to hear my stomach rumbling in the classroom I used to wish I could run up and pull a fast move Remember listening to Marley sing the belly full When you shivering where you stand, they can tell you're cold Sometimes you might have to trease but just never fold And if you sing for your supper, never sell your soul It's really real out there Mama, pray for me please, I'm going outside I'll be on the corner where my father died I just hope my honor isn't compromised It's the only thing, oh Mama, stay for me please until I'm grown I can't face the troubles of this world alone A world where they [?] making on Such a heavy cross to bear It's really real out there [Common] Mama, you wasn't privy since the shit we did The drama of a gritty inner-city kid The karma of the half moons and pyramids Gang life at the crib is inherited 'Cause when the shots'll lick off, you knew I could get picked off For you to lose your only son would truly be a big loss You kept me in the sports and my thoughts on higher learning On reverend write sermons, a black Christ returning The sky is burning I was yearning for them thick girls You dropped Timbs and quick pearls Said "[?], that's a big world For you to dancing, singing, dream in it Any room get into, just be a king in it" Back then it seemed vintage, I kept a team image Its rule to this game, me and my team scrimmage Now I see Bennet and the hood in a different way My life's a gift I won't give away Mama, pray for me please, I'm going outside I'll be on the corner where my father died I just hope my honor isn't compromised It's the only thing, oh Mama, stay for me please until I'm grown I can't face the troubles of this world alone A world where they [?] making on Such a heavy cross to bear It's really real out there
