Beau

27th of December, back in '96

Mom's gone for a checkup, she's expectin' twins

Dad kickin' in the park with my bigger sis'

'Til he gets that one phone call, like

Yeah, that's the doctor's assistant

He's saying what's the condition

We know there's two hearts in there

But only one of 'em's tickin'

She's already lost one, no more waitin' around

Get it done, get it done

Get him out, get him out

C-section, post-natal depression

We got one, that's a blessing, the other one went to heaven

And every time you think you winning, you get pulled back quick

Like, 'what the - is God doing, tryna pull that shit?

But stay strong Mama, Mama, I was too young to figure

Kept me growing healthy while my brothers spirit ridin' with ya

What did they tell my sister? She's only one-and-a-half

Baby bother just passed, can't be stuck in the past

You gotta live with it, paint that smile on

Mama kept us healthy, but she cryin' when them lights off

Sleeping in a bunk bed, the only one in it

Now I'm livin' life for two, 'cause I'm the only one living, ah

That's why time, I never waste it

Never sit around complaining

In and out, 9-5, get it done

Never, ever on the same shit

They want me to do the same shit

Acting dumb and getting wasted

I'ma serve a higher purpose on this earth

That's why I'ma try to change it

I got love for my people

We all love, we all equal

I don't mess with no evil puppets

They all fake, they're deceitful

Acting nice when they meet you

Month later they need you

We ain't on the same level

Never, ever, ever, I do not see you

All smiles, pearly whites, that's a given

Lot of people all around, but how many of 'em living?

Wake up, do the do, then go back to bed

Work 'til you die, buddy, cop a job to the head like

All smiles, pearly whites, that's a given

Lot of people all around, but how many of 'em living?

Wake up, do the do, then go back to bed

Work 'til you die, buddy, cop a-

Uh
