Meet The Parents

Whoo Uh Uh

The gift and the curse

Uh Uh yeah

First they love me then they hate me

Then they love me again

Love me again

Lets take a trip down

I got yall

Lets take a trip down memory lane at the cemetery

Rain gray skies seems at the end of every young black live

It's this line damn him already

Such a goodkid got us poring Hen(nessy) already

Liquor to the curb for the niggas up above

When it cracks through to pavement that's my way of sending love

So give BIG a hug tell Aaliyah I said high

Till the next time I see her on the other side

He was just some thug that caught some slugs

And we loved him cause in him we saw some of us

He walked like us, talked like us

His back against the wall nigga fought like us

Damn poor Isyss that his momma name momma aint strong enough to raise no boy

What's his father name? shorty never knew him though he had his blood in em

Hot temper momma sad he act just like her husband

Daddy never fucked with em so the streets raised em

Isyss blaming herself she wish she could have saved him

Damn near impossible only men can raise men

He was his own man not even him could save him

He put his faith in the 38 in his waist

But when ya live by the gun you die by the same fate

End up dead before 38 and a

That's the life of what's raised by a winter, it's a cold world

Old girl turned to coke tried to smoke her pain away

Isyss life just ended on that rainy day

When she got the news her boy body could be viewed down at the city mourge

Open the drawer saw em nude

Her addiction grew

Prescription drugs dipped in brew

Angel dust dipped in whoo

She slipped into her own fantasy world

Had her self pregnant by different dude

But reality bites and this is her life

He wasn't really her husband though he called her wife

It was just this night when the moon was full and the stars was just right

And the dress was real tight

And it sounded like Lisa Lisa I wonder if I take you home

Will you still love me after this night

Mike was the hard head from around the way that she wanted all her life

Shit she wanted all the hype

Used to hold on tight when they wheelied on the bike

He was a Willie all her life

He wasn't really the one to like

It was a dude named Shi

Who would really treat her right

He wanted to run to the country to escape the city life

But Isyss liked this broad way life

She loved the Gucci sneakers the red, green and, white

Hanging out the window when she first seen em fight

So turned on that she had to shower twice

How ironic it would be some fight

That would turn it to a homicide that would alter their life

See Mike at 32 was still on the seen

He had a son 15 that he never saw twice

Sure he saw him as an infant but he disowned him

Like if that was my son he would look much different

See I'm light skinned and that baby there's dark

So it's momma's baby poppa's maybe

Mike was still crazy out there running the streets

Had his old reliable 38 gun in his reach

He spent 14 years him and Isyss aint speak

He runnin around like life is a peach

Till one day he approached this thug

That had a mean mug

And he looked so familiar that he called um young Cuz

Told em get off the strip but the boy aint budge

Instead he pulled out a newer 38 snug

He clearly had to drop but the boy just paused

It was something in this mans face he knew he seen before

It's like looking in the mirror seeing his self more mature

He took it as a sign from the almighty lord

You know what they say about he who hesitates at war

(What's that) he who hesitates is lost

He cant explain what he saw before his picture went blank

The old man didn't think he just followed his instinct

Six shots into his kin out of the gun

Niggas be a father ya killing ya son

Six shots into his kin out of the gun

Niggas be a father ya killing ya son

Meet the parents

(Echo & fade out)
