It's I remember back one when daddy had no money Mommy the Christmas presents up And stuck 'em under the tree and said of 'em were from me Cause couldn't buy 'em I'll never forget that Christmas I sat up the night crying Cause daddy felt like a bum, see had a job But his job was to keep the on the table for you and mom And at the every house that we lived in Either kept broken into and robbed Or shot up on the block and mom was saving money for you in a jar Tryna start a piggy bank for you so you go to college Almost had a dollars till someone broke in and stole it And I it hurt so bad it broke your momma's heart And it seemed everything was just startin' to fall apart Mom and dad was arguin' a lot so momma back On the in the flat one bedroom apartment And dad moved back to the other side of 8 on Novara And that's when daddy to California with his CD and met Dr. Dre And you and momma out to see me But daddy had to work, you and momma had to me Then you started seeing daddy on the T.V. and momma like it And you and were to young to understand it Papa was a stone, momma developed a habit And it all happened too fast for either one of us to it I'm just sorry you there and had to witness it first hand Cause all I ever wanted to do was make you proud Now I'm in this empty house, just reminiscing Lookin' at your baby pictures, it just me out To see how much you both have grown, it's like you're sisters now Wow, guess you pretty much are and still here Laney I'm to you too, daddy's still here I like the sound of that, It's got a to it don't it? Shh, momma's only for the moment
