"TO MY SONS" To the both of you I'm beyond proud You're both the sun that outshines the darkest cloud That I've put above the family name For all of the dirt I've done and pain I caused I'm ashamed I left you both out there even though it wasn't my intention I got too caught up in the game the streets held my attention I used to tell myself all that I was doing was for you I didn't care about other's feelings I had to provide for you I ignored your mother when she asked me to stop I told her I'd stop when I reached the top I didn't realize that I had everything I wanted in life 2 beautiful sons and a devoted wife What more could a man ever ask for I had the life any man would kill for You have no idea how many times I've cried begging God To take me back to the day I was content working a 9 to 5 job To the days when held you both in my arms Or back to the days I was in a trance from your mothers charm Nee-Nee I remember how you used to run When your mother wanted to braid your hair Don't laugh Jerry cause I remember the first time I cut your hair Now look at you both ... my Lil'Grown mans Every time I look at your pictures all I can say is damn The worlds in trouble if you've got a 10th of me in you I just hope and pray that all my wrong decisions educate you In how to NOT be like me ... PLEASE ... don't walk in my shoes To win the Street Life Game is all I wanted to do I never thought that once I won what exactly I was gonna lose
