Ever since they were born
She was worried about their friends
Even when they turned twenty five
She was worried about the company they'd keep
One day it was three in the morning
The door bell rang, she got up in a sweat
Blue lights flashing everywhere
The boys in blue standing at the door
The look on their faces scared her enough
Before they told her what she was always afraid of
Do you know where your son is tonight?
Do you know where your daughter is tonight?
I'm afraid they won't be coming home tonight
Do you know where your son is tonight?
Do you know where your daughter is tonight?
I'm afraid they won't be coming home tonight
[Foreign Content]
Ever since she was brought to this home
She's been cursing every woman with a child
She says they brought to this world the curse
That have stained the good name of mankind
One day it was three in the morning
The guard came running to tell us she's gone
Blue lights flashing everywhere, all over again
The boys in blue, looking for her
The look on their faces scared us enough
When they told us to strengthen our family ties
Do you know where your mother is tonight?
Do you know where your father is tonight?
I'm afraid they won't be coming home tonight
Do you know where your son is tonight?
Do you know where your daughter is tonight?
I'm afraid they won't be coming home tonight
[Foreign Content]
Do you know where your son is tonight?
[Cashmere The Professional]
Dear Dad,
Yeah it's me, surprised that I'm writin'?
Well not really, I'm sittin' at my computer just typin'
Heard you were sick
Would have found out last week had I called
But to be honest
I don't feel the least bad at all
Yeah I know that sounds fucked up but you made me like that
Look at my childhood, I can't believe you played me like that
You was never around, promises was all you resort
No child support not as much as a call to my moms
I went through nights with no dinner lookin' bummy and skips
Could go no where in school with no money for trips
Gettin' cracked on by honeys and shit
Strugglin'
That's why I don't listen to your lectures on hustlin'
Cause we had nothin'
Stuck in the hood always
And you refer to the 80s as the good ole' days?
Well they wasn't for me
I guess things went all your way
But I ain't done keep reading I got more to say
I know this all seems abrasive
But look what I'm faced with
Missed opportunities
Missed chances missed places
I looked at what others had and I couldn't get basic
Deprived of so much that's why I'm stuck with this hatred
I went through problem after problem thinkin' you wouldn't care
All simply because you wasn't there
Just promise to visit and sorrys couldn't redeem you
It probably would have been better if I would never had seen you
Cause then I wouldn't have a face to place with the lies
And the disappointment that affected our lives
I guess that's why I'm so bothered now
And want to hit a motherfucker sayin' you your father’s child
So I gotta be keepin' the faith
For them three girls of mine and I won't be repeatin' mistakes
That you made with me cause I don't miss my past
And every third Sunday in June you can kiss my ass
[Hook]
[Scratched: Xzibit 'Paparazzi'] "And I could feel it as a child growin' up"

Many moon have cycled since the night you decided
to break out late and fade out into the silence
First born son still playin' in his diapers
Left behind ya
Kinda thought I'd never find ya
But guess what?
The human being you had deemed a mistake
Is now staring you in your face
It's a disgrace the way I was treated
Shit, you probably wish I got caught in the condom when my pops skeeted
Well fuck that I buck back all odds
And stuck straight through your facade of camouflage
You ain't my mom
You ain't nothin' but a heartless bitch
I'm starting to switch
Don't even start this shit
Tryin' to fabricate facts that my dad kidnapped me
It can't be nothin' but lies to try to trap me
In face he
Packed me to Cali in '84
We found your crib but you never came to the door
Wouldn't answer the phone but you had to be home
Tragedy sewn
Yo, you had to know you were wrong
Reminisce and it's not surprising
Grew up so broke I thought the poverty line was the horizon
Many nights and days we stayed in shacks
Pops breakin' his back
Faded ass packs of food stamps
But karma's a double edge sword
So thanks for letting me borrow your fuckin' umbilical cord
[Verse 1 - 40 Cal.]
Y'all niggaz down on ya hard luck
You must be takin' bird baths we can all see you're washed up
See we the shower posse, throw you in the dodge trunk
Treat you like a large blunt and smoke you in ya Von Dutch
You think you live real, Its realer here
Niggaz'll cut ya arm mail it to ya mom as a souvenier
We smack niggaz like the dvd
And say 40 ain't the sickest nigga rappin' since Easy-E
I'm too strong for you, you need to go to GNC
You're like 14 days too weak for me (two week)
Look, I blow easily, beat emcee's repeatedly
Your mouth is where this heat'll be, I just did it recently
I'm the best ain't no bargainin' B
The way I son rappers, you'll be the new Father MC
But my truck is why the haters hate
They think I'm drivin' attention cuz it comes wit deep dishes and paper plates
I'm in ya hood, sparkin' at ya peephole
You can ask Suge all the hardest rappers he know
Started at a c-note, bargain at the kilo's
Now my pockets like I took the Carter after Nino
Car jackin' steelo, pull up next to ya whip
Wether snub or the club it's consecutive hits
Dissin' niggaz in the yard doin' eleven to clip
And Wreck Rock and Dipset doin' sets to the Dips, Holla
[Verse 2 - Cam'Ron]
From the back of the cop ride, the black on black black, when we cop rides
I will not hide, Hi Ma, Hot thighs, dick on her nose now she's cock eyed
From whippin'up bacon rolls to outside whippin the bacon rolls
Saniyah Lathan knows, I rakin' but makin dough
Eighty holes in ya shirt, there's ya own Jamaican clothes
I ain't talkin to pokano's, I'm talkin to aspens the slopes we go
You get the okie do, play me baby I hope he know
We break noses, call 'em baby Pinocchio
I hold wit wit blue mittens, two pigeons, what the fuck are yooou pitchin?
One house, Two kitchens, who's bitchin'
I'll bring the diesel, won't see the Fu-Schnickens
And I don't trust a hoe, that's mother to baby mother
motherfucker, you look like a lady lover
I'll touch slap her, dap her, plus clap her
Tell her drink cum, get drunk, its nutcracker
And it's well known, that Rell's home
Yep, hit E.T. up on the cell phone
Ask ya family thighs, and my family rise
Call the network Dipset, Family Ties
[Verse 3 - Hell Rell]
I got niggaz that's locked up in Attica El Mara
Up in the mess hall, tellin' niggaz that Rell's fire
Smack ya pops, sell coke to ya mother
And my weed's the color purple like Oprah and Glover
And fam tell me how you gettin extorted by Tom, Dick and Harry
And all them niggaz is gay Tom kissin' Harry
I got proper work if you wanna cop some work
Diamonds in the ring the color of Papa Smirf
Dipset worldwide now you haters kno us
Beaver bedspreads, alligator sofas
Range candy paint, Now or Later rovers
Go to sleep so high I don't know how I wake up sober
Went from livin' in the hungry ghetto
To white girls sayin wow, what a lovely bezel
Diamonds in there, yummy yellow
You just another funky, haters wanna snub and pump me
And Pataki wanna lock me up and double bunk me
Get on my feet wit the hard white a couple junkies
I know I'm a piece of shit but my mother loves me
Kill you take my ass to another country
Fuck New York get my coke from another country
Got Africans that's commin to America
With the best dope thats comin' to America
And yo own man's don't acknowledge yo G
Cuz you ain't wanna go to war like Muhammad Ali
Dipset, bitch..
I'll seize this moment and make it mine
Remember when we were younger and had nothing but time
And now I know there's so much in my way
But it won't keep me held down 'cause I've got
something to say
We're all just kids growing up too fast
Focused on the future but not forgetting the past
So I live my life like it's a story to tell
Don't try to stand in my way
'Cause I can make a bet that you'll fail
But I'll push on and on
Till every doubt is gone
Nothing's gonna stand in my way
I control my own fate
If you are not scared
Then you're not taking a chance
The road ahead is paved by those who took the risk
We're all just kids growing up too fast
Focused on the future but not forgetting the past
This will always be my family
This will always be my family
So I live my life like it's a story to tell
Don't try to stand in my way
'Cause I can make a bet that you'll fail
But I'll push on and on
Till every doubt is gone
Nothing's gonna stand in my way
I control my own fate
This will always be my family
You've been here for me since the beginning
This will always be my family
I'll be there for you till the end
So I live my life like it's a story to tell
Don't try to stand in my way
'Cause I can make a bet that you'll fail
But I'll push on and on
Till every doubt is gone
Nothing's gonna stand in my way
I control my own fate
alone is the cleanest war. at least it's now fought fair. may have lost a household, but he's gained a world. raised to lower, brought up to put down. I call it genial bigotry, a family tradition. the honor of dishonor, as values resound. spit back at a bloodline of racist transmission. wasn't them he so despised, but their beliefs he hated. free thought over family was a choice not long debated. one less fruit on this family tree. and now he's fee to love unobstructed. to marvel at this vast civil bond he's constructed. reborn, emerge. and now cut the vein. write him off. he is alone.
He takes the blame for his family's pain
?It's not your fault son? I hear them say
And what does he have now but broken dreams?
And only promises that they'll never keep
Can't you see, this boy is me?
Can't you see, this boy is me?
The tension builds, the hurting words
The yelling voice, the falling tear
The tension builds, the hurting words
The yelling voice, the falling tear
He takes the blame for his family's pain
?It's not your fault son? I hear them say
And what does he have now but broken dreams?
And there is no chance they will ever be together again
Can't you see, this boy is me?
Can't you see, this boy is me?
The tension builds, the hurting words
The yelling voice, the falling tear
The children are crying out, "Who's to blame for this?"
Guess I turned into my mother,
trying to control things and others
and worrying about it all.
Will it hurt her feelings,
am I doing it wrong?
Family ties like a bow around the presents life is made of.
Family ties like a bow around the presents life is made of.
Imperfect love.
Imperfect love.
Family ties like a bow around the presents life is made of.
Family ties like a bow around the presents life is made of.
Imperfect love.
I fell off the honor-rolling towards a paper check.
If everything is so symbolic we fell apart like plate
tectonics.
Still we've got our Momma's eyes.
Tell me something that I don't want to know.
Please tell me it's gonna be alright.
Everyone is trying to live for something.
And we're dying to fight.
Did you get the message?
They're trying to divide us.
Let's skip our classes!
We are the masses!
We've all heard about the revolution.
Let's say we don't believe in second tries.
They say your coloured patriotic and all your love is
strictly platonic.
If we had our family ties.
Tell me something that I just don't want to know.
'Cos I'm tired of hearing you breathe all this hot air.
Everyone is trying to live for something.
And we're dying to fight.
They're trying to live for something.
We're trying to win a fight.
What about our family ties?
They're trying to live for something.
We're trying to win a fight.
What about our family ties?
Did you get the message?
They're trying to divide us.
Let's skip our classes!
We are the masses!
10. Nightmarer
There are few things you hope I'd change. (But you'll
stay the same)
And I've been all wrong.
All but a minute of it.
And one thing that you'd do is sure to carry me
through.
Is to love me all the same.
And I would always let you.
I'd write the nightmare for a healthy conscience.
Sleeping with mouth open wide.
I want you to find me.
I want you to find me.
All I do is hide.
I hide from you.
Can we sort this out?
I'm ready.
I've hidden pride to a beat.
And its racing, racing until its dead.
And it barely touches me anymore.
I'd write the nightmare for a healthy conscience.
Sleeping with mouth open wide.
I want you to find me.
I want you to find me.
All I do is hide.
I hide from you.
It's cemetery.
I'm in the rough.
I'm in the nude.
A prostitute.
I'd write the nightmare for a healthy conscience.
Sleeping with mouth open wide.
I want you to find me.
I want you to find me.
All I do is hide.

Fresh t's, creased jeans, weed in the air
I tip the stunt with the homies cause I didn't care
Incarcing got a name now I'm everywhere
Growing up, escalating cause our breed is rare
After school with the crew playing truth or dare
Now I'm stepping in the club letting loose my hair
Attractive chicks that flock in they packs just to stare
A young nigga getting more attention than the mayor
This little bad chick whispered something in my ear
It's on now, cause I can see the way that she stared
She wanna get close to me, that's how it's suppose to be
Ain't nobody coming close to these
A.G's gone leave em off your history

Found the snare and clap, yeah that enhances me
Throw up your hands with C, yeah dance with C

A.G.'s is known to turn the party out
Pour the bacardi out, that's what I'm talking bout
A.G's got you open and crawled up out, yeah
Yeah, let's, let's get on down
Let's have a good time yeah
See you and me together
Empty words just fill the void
In the silence that has come to define us
We lost ourselves in days and weeks
As time passed us by
We never noticed that we were heading
In separate ways - separate ways
I never thought it would come to this
For a moment I felt so right
Only to realize it was all a dream
Only to realize that it was just a dream
I have memories
But there not enough
We claimed victory
Before times got tough
Y'all niggaz down on ya hard luck
You must be takin' bird baths we can all see you're washed up
See we the shower posse, throw you in the dodge trunk
Treat you like a large blunt and smoke you in ya Von Dutch
You think you live real, Its realer here
Niggaz'll cut ya arm mail it to ya mom as a souvenier
We smack niggaz like the dvd
And say 40 ain't the sickest nigga rappin' since Easy-E
I'm too strong for you, you need to go to GNC
