[Intro]
If i told a story, wud you listen[Verse 1]
Day one, a young girl mislead
She a teen livin in the world of the dead
Mother and father addicted to the holy water
That ain't her real mother, that ain't her real fatherThis time brendas got a baby and she proud of it
Straight threw her dreams in an overcrowded oven
Another one gone, so im pourin whine
She can't live her own life, so im livin mineNickel or dime, life is a crime
Life is a poem, life is a bind
All of us lust, all of us cry
Love and trust, its hard to findHeres a kid growin up in the world winds
Drugs, and acohol had em at ten
At 22 he pulled a 22 on his friend
He messed around full loaded let the devil win[Chorus]
Ninety three, the year i was born G
Years later still livin like its ninety
Ninety three, the year i was born G
Years later still livin like its ninety[Verse 2]
They gave em nine to three, i mean three to nine
Was stackin up gettin racks, now hes doin time
He'd rather see his baby then to walk in a line
Extortion,puffin purp just anotha crimeCollect call to his baby momma, silly drama
She movin out to live wit her grandmomma
Twenty five to life, for livin in vane
Little son devilish ways, burried in shameHe couldn't maintain the drug game and do the right thang
Ended up gettin ambushed by his homie kain
Cocaine, bloodshed no sympathy
His daughter lost a friend no sign of empathyIts funny cuz he had his girl when he was thirteen
Lil kids livin the life of billie jean
He got three kids, but only one his
Thats all he ever knew, his father never cared to give[Chorus]
Ninety three, the year i was born G
Years later still livin like its ninety
Ninety three, the year i was born G
Years later still livin like its ninety[Verse 3]
His daughter grew up claimin bein a gang banger
East side no lie i can feel her anger
Bratt ta tat, got it tatted on her back
Robbin banks, takin bank now her pockets fatTook change from the wrong person, hit on her life
She'd rather be a soccer mom or a house wife
She quit doin wrong, now she doin right
Then everything came true christ in her lifeShe doing good got a degree and became a doctor
No prostitution the mountain couldn't get any softer
She got a raise now the womans makin six figures
Baby daddy didn't get his way, go figureDomestic violence she ran dude shoulda stopped
She took her keys peelt quick drove around the block
Stopped at a red light with the doors unlocked
She went to her old hood ended up gettin shot[Chorus]
Ninety three, the year i was born G
Years later still livin like its ninety
Ninety three, the year i was born G
Years later still livin like its ninety[Verse 4]
Her little girl no emotion she refused offers
Her mommy gone she couldn't cry she just watched her
Her daughter, became a lawyer not a doctor
The only difference is,she chose to live proper
