[Verse 1: The Game]
~#**************#~
June 30th, 11:07 I got that call
~#**************#~
She eight centimeters, my lil man bout to fall
~#**************#~
Scuffin my Air Forces, runnin through the hospital hall
~#**************#~
Deja vu, like I been here before
~#**************#~
Im feelin reborn, like a Bed-Stuy bredren
~#**************#~
My first born, Dre Im bout to have a Bad Boy
~#**************#~
Family in the lobby, see my nigga Church, whatup
~#**************#~
Shit, I left the camcorder in the truck
~#**************#~
Runnin through the maternity ward, out of breath, sweatin
~#**************#~
I swear to God every minutes startin to feel like a second
~#**************#~
I see hell starin down the barrel of a Smith and Wesson
~#**************#~
My sons ultrasound the closest I ever been to heaven
~#**************#~
Lord forgive me for my sins, I know its last minute
~#**************#~
Put the chronic in the air, a lil hash in it
~#**************#~
Spread my wings, if only I could fly
~#**************#~
Why fight to live homie if we livin to die?
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Busta Rhymes]
~#**************#~
I hope you grow up to become that everything you can be
~#**************#~
Thats all I wanted for you youngn, like father, like son
~#**************#~
But in the end I hope youll only turn out better than me
~#**************#~
I hope you know I love you youngn, like father, like son
~#**************#~
My little man your day is coming
~#**************#~
Coming, your day is coming
~#**************#~
I tell ya, and when it comes just keep it running
~#**************#~
Running, just keep it running, I tell you
~#**************#~
[Verse 2: The Game]
~#**************#~
They say every time somebody die, a child is born
~#**************#~
So I thank the nigga who gave his life for the birth of my son
~#**************#~
11:32, she screamin at the top of her lungs
~#**************#~
Im panicking, nurse yellin for the doctor to come
~#**************#~
All I can remember was Lemaze class, breathe baby
~#**************#~
One (one) two (two) three (three) four (four)
~#**************#~
I see the head, Doc bustin through the door
~#**************#~
He between the legs, he see the head, its my baby boy!
~#**************#~
11:46 the head out, she screamin makin crazy noise
~#**************#~
Pain is love, my stomach foldin like a La-Z-Boy
~#**************#~
Im feelin like Mariah Carey, all these butterflies
~#**************#~
Voices singin to me sound like Teena Marie
~#**************#~
Im callin niggas on tour
~#**************#~
Jayo tell Spinz I just cut the umbilical cord
~#**************#~
11:57, a soldier is born
~#**************#~
And hes flesh of my flesh, young Harlem Caron
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Busta Rhymes]
~#**************#~
I hope you grow up to become that everything you can be
~#**************#~
Thats all I wanted for you youngn, like father, like son
~#**************#~
But in the end I hope youll only turn out better than me
~#**************#~
I hope you know I love you youngn, like father, like son
~#**************#~
My little man your day is coming
~#**************#~
Coming, your day is coming
~#**************#~
I tell ya, and when it comes just keep it running
~#**************#~
Running, just keep it running, I tell you
~#**************#~
[Verse 3: The Game]
~#**************#~
I wanna thank Dr. Aswork and Nurse Teresa
~#**************#~
For bringin my baby boy to life, you birthed a Caesar
~#**************#~
And my baby momma Alyska, for pushin out a ten pound
~#**************#~
Four ounce Mini-Me, I still cant believe it
~#**************#~
Nose ears eyes chin, just like your daddy
~#**************#~
Id die before you grow up and be just like your daddy
~#**************#~
Or your grandfather; call Uncle Zeb
~#**************#~
Tell him I got a son and I aint even in Harlem
~#**************#~
Im poppin Crist witcha godfathers
~#**************#~
Baron Davis and D. Mac, Darrius Rogers
~#**************#~
Drop the top on the 71
~#**************#~
With my face in the clouds, Lord spare my son
~#**************#~
And watch over Eric Wright, Tyanna, and Lil Pun
~#**************#~
Lowridin, bangin, “Ready to Die,” track #1
~#**************#~
If I bust five times, and they never see the sun
~#**************#~
My life is a black hole, like the barrel of a gun
~#**************#~
One
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Busta Rhymes]
~#**************#~
I hope you grow up to become that everything you can be
~#**************#~
Thats all I wanted for you youngn, like father, like son
~#**************#~
But in the end I hope youll only turn out better than me
~#**************#~
I hope you know I love you youngn, like father, like son
~#**************#~
My little man your day is coming
~#**************#~
Coming, your day is coming
~#**************#~
I tell ya, and when it comes just keep it running
~#**************#~
Running, just keep it running, I tell you
~#**************#~
I hope you grow up to become that everything you can be
~#**************#~
Thats all I wanted for you youngn, like father, like son
~#**************#~
But in the end I hope youll only turn out better than me
~#**************#~
I hope you know I love you youngn, like father, like son
~#**************#~
My little man your day is coming
~#**************#~
Coming, your day is coming
~#**************#~
I tell ya, and when it comes just keep it running
~#**************#~
Running, just keep it running, I tell you
