[Intro: Plies - talkin]
You kno sum people tthat say money change erre thang I 'm hear to say

[Chorus:]
Last ten years momma been workin' twice a day
Grandma on a kidney machine, she done lost all the weight,

2nd time he gone away .my dady smokin dat shit I can see it in his face
My lil cousin 16 n preganant frum a ni*** 38.tryna stay on my son
Make sure he doin what his mama say.
Before ya take me God, help me get my family straight.

[Verse 1:]
I asked God why didn't He bless me with a silver spoon
Cause if he did I'd never have to be a goon.If he gon' change my family
I hope he do it soon.I'm tired of answerin my fone hearin bad news.
My grandma on a walker she can barely move. jus to tell meh she luv me take all
Her breath to do.she on a kidney machine I kno it's hurtin her 2 4 times a week gotta
Get her blood drew she say the bible n prayer the only thing that get her through
Why my grandma deserve dis y god wat did she do.thought jus cause I had a lil money
I could by her a new one.she keep the family together she one I caint loose

[Chorus]

[Verse 2:]

She fell in luv with a hustla although she dying she say she still luv em
I kno if I see em again I'll kill dat muthafucka.only get 15 minutes to talk to my brudda
Cause he in prison gotta go see em if I wanna hug em.sum niggas willin to risk dey freedom
For thuggin jus because he made a mistake I gotta be here for em jus because I love him .

Unda.the only time we cum together is to have a funeral sit around n talk about
Each other n spread rumors.kno it's sum of mah fault cause I don't talk to em
For my family to be happy is all I want help my grandma fight, god I know she don't
To see my mama retire that's all I want hope my brudda get out to see his kids for once
