Make Mama Proud - Lil' Flip[00:00:00]
In elementary I used crayons even chalk[00:00:10]
I learned to count money before I could read and talk[00:00:13]
And my mama told me son you need to shine[00:00:16]
I couldn't stand at the back I had to lead the line[00:00:19]
I use to make good grades but I talked in class[00:00:21]
In middle school I was late when I walked in class[00:00:24]
If the teacher ran an errand I taught the class[00:00:27]
And what I didn't know I was about to ask[00:00:30]
And just because I played ball I got easy grades[00:00:32]
And when I turned 13 I got even fades[00:00:35]
Everybody wearing Air Macs Ree's and J's[00:00:38]
But all my parents cared about was B's and A's[00:00:41]
In high school I picked up my pen and pad[00:00:43]
I had dreams of pulling up in a Benz or Jag[00:00:46]
I had to get it on my own I couldn't depend on dad[00:00:49]
I had to grow up too fast but then I'm glad[00:00:52]
Because the stuff I know now I wouldn't believe it[00:00:54]
The main goals that I set I wouldn't achieve it[00:00:57]
I'd probably be locked up or running the streets[00:01:00]
I'd probably wouldn't have platinum in front of my teeth[00:01:03]
I'd probably still be mocking trying to earn a dollar[00:01:06]
I'd probably be in the hood selling sherm or powder[00:01:08]
But instead I'm making bread legal dough[00:01:11]
Going to church and staying away from these evil hoes[00:01:13]
You only got one life you better do what you can[00:01:16]
Cause when you turn thirteen you are a man[00:01:19]
And I can't be broke so I'ma rock the crowd[00:01:22]
It's up to me I gotta make my mama proud[00:01:25]
You only got one life you better do what you can[00:01:28]
Cause when you turn thirteen you are a man[00:01:30]
And I can't be broke so I'ma rock the crowd[00:01:33]
It's up to me I gotta make my mama proud[00:01:36]
There's a place called heaven and a place called hell[00:01:39]
There's a place called freedom and a place called jail[00:01:41]
And if you go to jail they gone treat you bad[00:01:44]
Take your commissary and beat you bad[00:01:47]
So I'm staying out of trouble I'm chasing my dream[00:01:50]
I know you see your little boy on t v screens[00:01:52]
I'm blowing up your little boy making it happen[00:01:55]
I'm not selling dope mama I'm making it rapping[00:01:58]
So when you go to sleep at night you know I'm safe[00:02:01]
Cause in Houston everyday somebody catching a case[00:02:03]
Like yesterday my partner went to jail[00:02:06]
And he ain't coming home until he fifty seven[00:02:09]
He nineteen so you do the math[00:02:12]
I got smart man I choose to rap[00:02:14]
So when I grow up my kids can have a good life[00:02:17]
That's all I wrote y'all have good night[00:02:20]
You only got one life you better do what you can[00:02:23]
Cause when you turn thirteen you are a man[00:02:26]
And I can't be broke so I'ma rock the crowd[00:02:28]
It's up to me I gotta make my mama proud[00:02:30]
You only got one life you better do what you can[00:02:34]
Cause when you turn thirteen you are a man[00:02:36]
And I can't be broke so I'ma rock the crowd[00:02:39]
It's up to me I gotta make my mama proud[00:02:42]
