Shit I was, in the hospital telling momma to breathe

As she's struggling for air with a mask looking at me

Couldn't say a single word, death was coming way sooner

As I look at her the doctor said we're going to lose her

What you know about watching your mom pass in the flesh?

With your family trying to hold her as she screams on her bed

Hearing the cries of your father, sister, your aunt, and your friends

Knowing them minutes to them seconds she's about to be dead

Holding her hand as you're crying, and she's taking slow breaths

Running your fingers through her hair, shoulders getting all tense

Touching lifeless fingers knowing that's the last time you'll see her

At the funeral holding emotions in, getting deeper

People telling you that you gonna hold it down and get better

And all you think about is making it and feel more pressure

Hearing screams of her pain, hearing shit day to day

Since April 9th when Rose Llantino died I ain't been the same

My priorities switching, spending money like crazy

Losing happiness slowly, my careers getting shaky

Momma give me a sign, momma give me some hope, I gotta do this for the fam, momma dad's getting old

So much grief seeing that man work, I can't hide it

Ballin' in the club but got a family to finance

Fuck it I'm bout to hustle, throwing shit to invest it

I lost my special qualities, ain't afraid to confess it

Used to be 17, spitting better than these older dudes

Now I'm 22, age is nothing but an old excuse

Album by myself, funded by my lonesome

I just bought me a bottle, I pop the shit, now I'm on one

Drinking away my sorrows, cause reality's fucked

Poppa crying for his wife, homie I can't make this up

My little sisters 14, growing without her idol

Tell my family I'm gonna make it, shit is vital

They used to tell me.
