My Love For You by Game
My love for you
is like a angel flyin' thru the sky
like a bird in the winter, and
your love for me
is so deep, and sorta like a black rose cracking the cement
My love for you
lives on like the memory of Aaliyah singin' a last song
and your love for me
will never die like a black child struggling the ghetto to survive
My heart goes out to the beautiful woman that raised me
20 years after the Watts Riot, early 80's
pops on drugs, moms couldn't take me in
had a daughter already, said she was to young to feed another baby
and shit got crazy, then 2 years came went
baby's just growing away, we can't even pay the rent
no hot water, i reminisce, tears runnin' down my face as i hold my daughter
you spent years by the fire place, i was in the garden every Sunday at the church
bible study at the carters, i was hard head
back then i was selling crack
when your hard earned money paid for basketball practice
always at the game on time, yelling at the coaches
wondering why your baby boy's sitting on the pon'
even thou life gets hard sometimes, i keep my head up
and i can make the sun shine in just one rhyme
walk with me.
My love for you
is like a angel flyin' thru the sky
like a bird in the winter, and
your love for me
is so deep, and sorta like a black rose cracking the cement
My love for you
lives on like the memory of Aaliyah singin' a last song
and your love for me
will never die like a black child struggling the ghetto to survive
And now the lanes at the 57 Lincoln Continental, peddle to the floor
looking for the highway to heaven, remember when your baby boy was 7
we had good times like i was Jay Jay and you was Florida Evans
I should have listen to the reverend, now i drain my pain in this 40 ounce
and these born ass records, disrespecting your house
living reckless, look at me, inside your jewelry box
about to pawn your necklace, every night you were in the window, lookin'
