Need4Cognition - 1972 Lyrics

NEED4COGNITION
Born in 1972
Moma you was a gangsta
I know them niggas in New Orleans
None was gone f*ck with ya
You had anger inside like me
Didn't know what to do with it
So you ran to the streets to let it out
That was unfortunate
I know yo moma never told you she love you
I know the pain still there
Still took care of her the best as you could
Your love was enduring
Gromma died in the house in 2008
It was such a hazy day
I was coming home to clean the place
But I saw her come out the house in a body bag
I didn't know what happen
All my friends was around
But I told them to go home I needed a second
My gromma died
I couldn't say goodbye
The pain was intense
Gromma you know I love you though I be hoping there is a heaven
And I hope you in that bitch
I hope you resting easy gromma
I hope you having a better time than what you was out here
Rest easy
Moma I know you got pain in your heart
I only tried to fill it
Wasn't tryna be your worst child
I just wanted some independence
I had dreams of my own
Could not be little man forever
Went to the military
I didn't want to sell drugs I was tryna be better
You had Tray die, there when dude got robbed, had my daddy on death row
I heard you crying late at night
I would stand with my ear pressed to the door
All I'm saying is I understand why you tough
You a Third Ward soldier
I heard how you was bussin that thang
Them golds in your mouth aint no Fashion Nova
Turned yo life around for the better
I don't knock yo hustle
We was Section 8 our whole life
One thing I can say a pro of the government
I hope you stay good
I'm just getting my feelings out you know I love ya
One thing about soldiers we tough independent but together we overcome the struggle
