This song is dedicated to my mom, to my pop, to my family, to my daughter, to the people that I know and love today I was the product of two people that never got along I was named after a song they heard the night I was born I was probly never planned, but you know how it go Pops was strong and had it all under control Mom was on and poor and couldn't wait to leave But she was pregnant now and still a mother to be And because of that fact she stayed and put up with his shit And took everything that that motha fucka could dish Believe it wasn't easy and from what I'm told Then again I don't remember, I was two years old I was too young to know or see the tears in her eye So wondered why everynight she would cry and pray to die That's some fucked up shit, but I was so carefree Like every other child, just livin' a fantasy Never thought for a second, considered it wasn't real And if it wasn't, should I change the way that I feel (Chorus 2x) Just like a parent, want to shield you from all the pain No matter how much, inside they're just sufferin' True sacrifice like the wings of a dove And it's real because it's all love comin' again Moms is trippin' and Pops is chillin' SongtexteBrain stormin' tryna come up on a million Or even a thousand, a few hundred, but be right on time, 'cause them bills be pilin' up and we fallin' further behind And debt collectors bangin' to callin' the phone, When they come to our house, we would pretend we wasn't home Standin' in the WIC line, free honey and cheese, With grotuity baskets from local charities, It's not fresh at all when you goin' to school, And can't afford to dress like the cool kids do, So I'd use text books and last year's shoes I was destined to never make it to the likes of high school, Time passed and Pops got sick and felt ill And everything went downhill And when the mess set side, checks didn't cover the bills, Not even close Moms kept the boat afloat as we coast into next year (Chorus 2x) I see Pops even less than before, but he's livin' in the same house behind the bedroom door It's always closed again, and he's sleepin' no doubt Open the cage and be a bathroom break and bring him out Then I get to see him for a second, just to say 'hey' How ya doin', good to see ya, oh wait, are you okay?(Okay) For him, the reply "Yeah, Jamie, I'm fine" And the same night, leave me world without sayin' goodbye Can you imagine the rage of the pain that I felt I was too shocked to cry when acceptin' the change delt I went to school and all the kids in my class Attended a special mass to acknowledge that he passed Wanted to cry, but not in front of my peers And not in front of a preist, so I wiped away tears It swollowed the whole sorrow like a bit of belief And prayed to God to let me talk to him everynight when I sleep (When I sleep) (Chorus 2x) True sacrifice like the wings of a dove And it's real because it's all love comin' again Just like a parent, want to shield you from all the pain No matter how much, inside they're just sufferin' True sacrifice like the wings of a dove And it's real because it's all love comin' again Aus Songtexte Mania
