Ghetto life as a youngsta, we was gettin' by Never imagined a picture, my mama gettin' high But she was, sneakin' in gettin' her down low Homies used to laugh behind my back, thinkin' i'd never know But in time, I started to realize things ain't right Mama sleepin' with a different man Each & every night Since my daddy died Well, that's when the pressure came Beggin' Lord Down on my knees Tell me who's to blame? Was my father drug addicted? That I never knew? Feelin' luv with my mother now she addicted too Full out of Hennessy, Lord, I can bearly breath Found my mama on the floor Now she an O.D I call 911 fast, I can't let her die Seen the trice in her arms That's when I start to cry They said my mama, would make it to another day But how much longer will it be before she slips away?
CHORUS: Somebody pray for me (Now) Somebody pray for me Somebody pray....for meeee
I remember not being able to wear the clothes The kids was wearin' This time was rough So me & my brother,we was sharin' & mama knew that we own the same size So his Levis was my Levis (hehe) We even had to share the same tennis shoes & when people baby-sit us We caught the blues That's when we learned ain't no love, like ur mama's love It's a gift sent from heaven, some where up above So I learned to value, my black queen Even though now all I see, is a dope fiend Why do people have to use drugs? Are inspire Remember lil' James Daw we caught him across the fire What about my Uncle Rodnie died of an heart attack Him & Kiana tell the Lord can we bring him back My hommie Rodrick he thugged heavy till he droped Atleast he got his wish He finally met Pac Pray for me
