Beau

27th of December, back in ‘96
Mom's gone for a checkup
She's expectin' twins
Dad kicking in the park with my bigger sis
Till he gets that one phone call
Like Ringtone
Yeah, that's the doctor's assistant
He's saying "what's the condition?"
We know there's two hearts in there
But only one of ‘em's tickin'
She's already lost one
No more waitin' around
Get it done, get it done! Get him out
Get him out!
C-section, post natal depression
We got one that's a blessing
The other one went to heaven
And every time you think you winning
You get pulled back quick
Like, 'what the fuck is God doing
Tryna pull that shit?
But stay strong Mama, Mama
I was too young to figure
Kept me growing healthy while my
Brothers spirit ridin' with ya
What did they tell my sister?
She's only one-and-a half
Baby bother just passed
Can't be stuck in the past
You gotta live with it, paint that smile on
Mama kept us healthy
But she cryin' when them lights off
Sleeping in a bunk bed, the only one in it
Now I'm livin' life for two, ‘cause
I'm the only one living, ah
That's why time, I never waste it
Never sit around complaining
In and out, 9-5, get it done
Never ever on the same shit
They want me to do the same shit
Acting dumb and getting wasted
I'ma serve a higher purpose on this Earth
That's why I'ma try to change it
I got love for my people, we all love
We all equal i don't mess with no evil
Puppets, they all fake, they're deceitful
Acting nice when they meet you
Month later they need you
We ain't on the same level, never ever ever
I do not see you

All smiles, pearly whites, that's a given
Lot of people all around
But how many of ‘em living?
Wake up, do the do, then go back to bed
Work till you die, buddy
Cop a job to the head like
All smiles, pearly whites, that's a given
Lot of people all around
But how many of ‘em living?
Wake up, do the do, then go back to bed
Work till you die, buddy, cop a

Uh i'm busy tryna make Mama proud
She helped me up, so I hold her down
Work my brain to the fucking ground
So one day I'll have it all nutted out
Me and my crew, we don't
Muck about, get it done, get it down
Get respect, don't do nothing for clout
If it ain't love then I'm out
If it ain't love then it's
Everything else, money, money, money
That isn't wealth get the cash
Get the cash! Then what? Sit
At home by yourself?
Don't get me wrong, I know money is
Freedom, but if you're strong enough
Then you don't need it
That be the reason I'm tryna get cheese in
Just so that all of my crew can get eating

That's what I'm always saying like
Make the most of your time love
What you do, coulda been me
That died in that womb
So why not try change lives? Don't
Do the same thing every
Day and complain about it don't
Get consumed don't get consumed
