the most perfect mistake i made
really knew that i gave it raw to any bitch i laid
but i did it whether love or lust it ain't no thing
just can't wait for you see the light of day so i pick yo name
watch you take yo first breath stumble and take yo first step
speak yo first word
yes i'm so blessed
to be a part of something greater than me
so you you can be anything you dedicated to be
cuz i ain't dedicate myself to nuttin' but these streets
so this how we gotta eat from pills to green leafes
rocks to white powder
butter to raise cheddar
got the blood of a thug but you gon' be raised better than that
and i know that i'd be filled with joy
whether he blessed me with a healthy girl or boy
i'mma praise you
even though it's hard to raise you in a world
a world so cold
it feels like i'm barely breathin'
and the blood in my veins so close to freezin' my
momma raised me but she couldn't save me from a world
a world so cold
cause when a nigga barely make it
he forget how to ask for shit he just take it
i can raise you but i can't save you from a world
a world so cold
yo i can keep it in a needle in a dope fiend vein
80s through the present seen the dope scene bang
lookin' at 80 years over 14 thangs
momma prayin' for a son with hopes that he change
hope's that he'll get it together he make her nervous
just the thought of her attending a child funeral service
what a horrifying sight to see
not a healthy way of life but it's the life for me
so now i gotta make life right for you or my life's a waste
me and yo momma argue everytime she she my face
she beggin me to settle down but i don't play like that
a rollin' stone so my home's where i lay my hat
you know i get right back
i ain't husband material so i don't spend my time like i spend my
scratch
but i'mma clothe you
feed you
never gon' leave you in a world
a world so cold
it feels like i'm barely breathin'
and the blood in my veins so close to freezin' my
momma raised me but she couldn't save me from a world
a world so cold
cause when a nigga barely make it
he forget how to ask for shit he just take it
i can raise you but i can't save you from a world
a world so cold
she's seven months you gon' be here in a lil' bit
move yo momma in
got the colors for ya room picked
baby shower
baby shoes
all type of new shit
sideline hoes i don't want nuttin' to do wit
how can i play y'all while i watch her carry you around
i got excited from pictures of your ultrasound
she told me i'mma have a son and i'm the one
and she at the doctor's office for a visit
can i come
dead silence
news got it dead in the room
pregnancy complications left you dead in the womb
maybe i take the blame god punish me for old sins
the tears hit me when i think of what you could have been
i flame jane try to smoke away the pain
but i know the bond that we made wasn't in vain
could have been my little freddie
but i guess you wasn't ready for a world
a world so cold
it feels like i'm barely breathin'
and the blood in my veins so close to freezin' my
momma raised me but she couldn't save me from a world
a world so cold
cause when a nigga barely make it
he forget how to ask for shit he just take it
i can raise you but i can't save you from a world
a world so cold
