[00:34.78]I reminisce for a spell or shall I say think back
[00:37.48]22 years ago to keep it on track
[00:39.72]The birth of a child on the 8 th of October
[00:42.68]A toast but my granddaddy came sober
[00:44.6]Countin all the fingers and the toes
[00:46.38]Now I suppose you hope the little black boy grows huh
[00:48.78]18 years younger than my mama
[00:51.24]But I rarely got beatings cause the girl loved drama
[00:53.74]In single parenthood there I stood
[00:56.05]By the time she was 21 had another one
[00:58.68]This one's a girl let's name her Pam
[01:00.93]Same father as the first but you don't give a damn
[01:03.47]Irresponsible plain not thinking
[01:05.77]Papa said chill but the brother keep winking
[01:08.05]Still he won't down you or tear out your hide
[01:10.42]On your side while the baby maker slide
[01:13.29]But mama got wise to the game
[01:15.19]The youngest of five kids hon here it is

[01:58.31]When my biological didn't bother

[02:23.45999]Nodding off sleep to a jazz tune
[02:25.63]I can hear his head banging on the wall in the next room
[02:28.49]I get the pillow and hope I don't wake him
[02:30.86]For this man do cuss hear it all in verbatim
[02:33.11]Telling me how to raise my boy unless he's taking over
