[00:57.62] I wanna say to my cousin thanks for showing love
[01:01.22] When I really needed guidance, but selling dope or thugging
[01:05.84] Seventeen with a gun, a day I got arrested
[01:09.88] Saved by Irv Gotti, he told me drop my blessing
[01:14.13] So many lessons I've learned the hard way
[01:17.80] Just look how far we came from hanging in the hallways
[01:22.42] Now I dedicated my life to what the song say

[01:32.37]
[01:36.78] I wanna be there for you, will you be there for me, yeah, baby

[01:50.45] In reason, miss your dollar, nobody need it better
[01:55.09] My best friend Bonnie was sentenced at twenty
[01:58.63] Until you have your freedom, I keep sending you money
[02:02.47] Seems I've been getting older, from a two seater to a Rover
[02:06.76] Needed more room for brandy, lil' Henny and a stroller
[02:11.05] Gotta live stronger since I went vegetarian
[02:15.03] I hope I live longer, dying ain't that scary
[02:18.95] So much love I've been given in my lifetime
[02:27.04] Without this music, damn I swear, I'd probably lose my mind
[02:31.11] She's there for me, and I'm here for you, yeah that's what I'll do
