Check this out when ain't nothin' else happenin'
And ain't no more money
The only ***** gon' be here for me, huh
Is the ***** that made me, my mama, ya heard me?

I thank the Lord, I got my mind right
My lifestyle was drastic
Tryin' to avoid the casket
Don't want my son to be a *******

But y'all wouldn't know but I seen that a couple of times
The Lord talked to me told me put the foolishness behind
It's not worth dying, tryin' to represent where ya come from
Or makin' beef because you feel like your that big G

I went the same way, but today, I'm on a higher level
I'm on a paper chase and runnin' behind it like a rebel
I want it all
So me and my mama can ball

The only one that pushed me up, in my downfall
And my pop, been in penitentiaries
10 wasted years
My mama wasted tears

But she brought me up by herself, without no help
Used to catch whippings with a leather belt
But that ain't stop nothin'
I was a Soulja always into stuff

Elementary school I'm cuttin', gettin' caught wrote on the B roll
Mama, come sign me out, I don't like these phony people
Down here to come sign me out, come bomb me out central lockup
I shoulda put the glock up and the two quarters I rocked up

Mom, I love you 'cause you made me
But pray for your baby 'cause this ghetto got me crazy

I remember Indo sticks and concrete bricks, dope fiends fix
Dethrow cliques that pops them ****s, takin' hits
Had to make more grits than a homeless man, hungry man
Had to watch my mom twerk her body for a ceilin' fan

Pops incarcerated so I hated as a child
But as I grew, I got to know him so I dug his style
Livin' foul, the law was, get it how you live
Friend or foe, never forgive, crack that *****z rib

By any means ness, get your cake support your fam
Don't give a damn, robbin' neighbors for some ham
Even spam was a good dish
See, we was poor, when we were sick, moms made us well with a kiss

I'm through, my most respect is due so I spits my gat
Cracks my back, makin' sure she gets the lack
So well deservin', pervin' in some **** I bought her
That's what she told us, remember that blood is thicker than water

Mom, I love you 'cause you made me
But pray for your baby 'cause this ghetto got me crazy
