1983, THAT'S WHEN A NIGGA WAS BORN/
I GREW UP ON COLLARD GREENS, STEAK, POTATOES, AND CORN/
I'M A CHILD OF A STRONG BLACK WOMAN. I REMININSE/
ABOUT EARLY DAYS OF MY YOUTH. NOW, EVER SINCE/
I CAME INTO THIS WORLD, ME AND MY MAMA WAS ALONE/
WHERE THA FUCK MY DADDY AT? MAN, THAT MUTHAFUCKA GONE/
DAMN, WHAT AM I TO DO? I HAVEN'T THA SLIGHTEST CLUE/
I JUST STAY HUMBLE AND TRUE TO ALMIGHTY GOD. HE'LL GUIDE US THROUGH/
REMEMBER, THAT FAITH'LL GET YOU THROUGH ALL OF THA HARDTIMES/
LOOK AT US NOW. WE'RE DOIN' FINE/
BACK IN THA DAY, I USED TO QUESTION MY EXISTENCE/
MY MAMA TOLD ME, "THIS SHIT'S GON' CHANGE AND I MEANT THIS."/
WE LIVIN' NICE NOW. NO PROBLEMS OR NO WORRIES/
MAMA'S HAPPY NOW. POPS CAN NO LONGER HURT ME/
GOD HAS BLESSED US GREATLY. SATAN CAN'T EVER TAKE ME/
POPS, YOU TRIED TO PLAY ME. DAMN, AIN'T LIFE CRAZY?/
