Hey Mama know I ain't never tell you this before[00:00:02]
But it really hurt me knowin' I'm runnin' you crazy[00:00:08]
I wanna talk to you real quick[00:00:11]
My momma told me while I run these streets she can't sleep[00:00:14]
Her phone ring late at night she think some'n happened to me[00:00:17]
Her nerves so bad right now she can't even watch TV[00:00:20]
She turn her head every time she see a police[00:00:23]
She scared to look 'cause it might be me in the back seat[00:00:27]
Whenever she hear about a shootin' her heart skip a beat[00:00:30]
She heard the Feds was in the town her knees got weak[00:00:34]
She know I'm at the house the only time she at peace[00:00:37]
Her blood pressure through the roof all because of me[00:00:40]
Her favorite words is 'Dope ain't the only way to eat'[00:00:43]
She told me other day she hope I don't die in these streets[00:00:47]
I just pray to God she don't wipe her hands with me[00:00:50]
I'm a goon to the streets but to my momma I'm still her baby[00:00:54]
Raised a street nigga by yourself you a hell of a lady[00:00:57]
Shit I’m doin' now got nothin' to do with how you raised me[00:01:00]
Shit killin' me to know I'm runnin my momma crazy[00:01:04]
Goon to the streets but to my momma I'm still her baby[00:01:07]
Raised a street nigga by yourself you a hell of a lady[00:01:10]
Shit I’m doin' now got nothin' to do with how you raised me[00:01:13]
Shit killin’ me to know I’m runnin my momma crazy[00:01:17]
Remember the nights me sittin' up in a cold cell[00:01:20]
I'm wakin' you up out of your sleep it's me callin' you from jail[00:01:23]
You ain't say it but I know inside you mad as hell[00:01:27]
You called off from work just to bond me out of jail[00:01:30]
I get in trouble I call you seem like it never fail[00:01:33]
Can hear you now "Boy you need to sit your ass down somewhere"[00:01:36]
I come and eat I take a shower then I'm outta there[00:01:40]
I know I'm stressin' you at times seem like I don't care[00:01:43]
You wrote bad checks for me to have somethin' to wear[00:01:46]
You risked your freedom for me nowadays that's real rare[00:01:50]
Every time I think about the shit I wanna shed a tear[00:01:53]
That's why I buy you some'n for Father's Day every year[00:01:56]
I'm a goon to the streets but to my momma I'm still her baby[00:02:00]
Raised a street nigga by yourself you a hell of a lady[00:02:03]
Shit I’m doin' now got nothin' to do with how you raised me[00:02:06]
Shit killin’ me to know I’m runnin my momma crazy[00:02:10]
Goon to the streets but to my momma I'm still her baby[00:02:13]
Raised a street nigga by yourself you a hell of a lady[00:02:16]
Shit I’m doin' now got nothin' to do with how you raised me[00:02:20]
Shit killin’ me to know I’m runnin my momma crazy[00:02:23]
You did the best you could with me and I love you for that[00:02:26]
Wanted me to stay in school but that ain't where my heart was at[00:02:29]
I got exposed to the streets and fell in love with stacks[00:02:33]
And all the times I hurt you wish I could take it back[00:02:36]
When Daddy left us you stepped up and took up his slack[00:02:39]
I know I'm selfish and feelin' there’s some'n I know I lack[00:02:42]
This shit I'm doin' now I know you raised me better than that[00:02:46]
You taught me how to be a man and showed me how to act[00:02:49]
Sometime I wonder how you still proud I'm your son[00:02:53]
After all the stuff I took you through and all the shit I done[00:02:56]
Well like you told me when God want me how I can't run[00:02:59]
Before He take me want you to know how much I love you Mom[00:03:02]
I'm a goon to the streets but to my momma I'm still her baby[00:03:06]
Raised a street nigga by yourself you a hell of a lady[00:03:09]
Shit I’m doin' now got nothin' to do with how you raised me[00:03:12]
Shit killin’ me to know I’m runnin my momma crazy[00:03:16]
Goon to the streets but to my momma I'm still her baby[00:03:19]
Raised a street nigga by yourself you a hell of a lady[00:03:23]
Shit I’m doin' now got nothin' to do with how you raised me[00:03:26]
Shit killin’ me to know I’m runnin my momma crazy[00:03:29]
I think I'm speakin' for every street nigga 'round the world[00:03:33]
I don't think we sit down long enough sometime[00:03:37]
Just to realize what we takin' our momma through[00:03:40]
It hurt me to know dawg that I'm runnin my momma crazy[00:03:46]
And it really killin' me to know that I'm help killin' my momma[00:03:52]
