Makes you sit back and think about how much you got to thank God for...this song really touches my heart in a way that songs now adays couldnt even come close to!!!
This was the first rap tune to bring a tear to my eye. I bought the album the day it came out. This was my story. Thanx GFK for this track. Killing me Softly with ya words brah!!!!!
This song is my HEART! I relate to everything in this song....but it made me stronger as a woman, and when I play this for my future children, they will understand my struggle....it wasn't easy, but my family made it through...WE ALL WILL MAKE IT!!! REAL TALK!!!!
but back then the love was there and respect... but the older gs that didnrt make it out with a patent leather ball kept stilling jordons and white sox which meant "white sucks" but we had love... and im half white too.all these youngins think its all about themselves but the min they go to a new school they start getting reality it ait all bout
and i aint gonna you had to hide anything nice forreal!!! if it wasnt that u didnt have heart but that u did have heart and at 6yrs old im in the back head evening after i let pepople have half of those free frosted cornflakes out of the "gym"which was the cafeteria lol you would fight anikka but you wouldnt shoot that man because we lived by a code im 26 and stiil doo.. quit snitchin!!!
man this is to all of my brothaers and sisters from the midwest ohio akron chi town it seems lik the strongest of us come from those places where we didnt have shit but miracle whip an bread...prunes cus they never went bad fX bologne even the suburbs no about...but it was a blessin to get the chunk of watermelon from bobos mom and pile up with no money just to imagine the food we will eat one day!!! just like when marcys before afterhours speghetti everybody knew they was eatin then...
This song reminds me of when my mom was waiting for child support from my dead in prison and when we were eating on courtesy of the goverments food stamps....
