Growing up you are taught right from wrong,

They file up the bad from good, 

She couldn't speak no English so they often called us hood,

Waking at 5 so she could work her eyes

Is what finally broke her after 10 years strong, 

So she headed home knowing it would be wrong to leave her sons, 

Each day I ask how will support myself?

Is this the price I pay for all she's done?

A walk past the wall can often change your life

It's why I could never disguise my work ethic even though I try,

A good women raised me regardless of the law, 

I dont fall far from the tree these are the fruits I brought 

So I could share with you a thing or two, 

of how she did it all while I was still in her womb.
