[Verse 2]
And my cousin✦ I love him like a son cause I was him
And he think his thuggin' pleases me but it doesn't
How could I applause it when I had caused it
But if it's God's plan for him, I guess I ain't cost shit
For what I gave him - wasn't so bad I couldn't save him
Either✦ they'll enslave him or a gun'll grave him
I still believe✦ in him but he think I'm leavin✦ him
When I be busy✦ he think I'm bob-n-weavin him
I probably sound like his daddy✦
But over✦ the phone, cause I ain't around✦ - like his daddy✦
When we talk I wanna✦ hear you be productive✦
Conversate for hours 'bout something constructive✦
But it never✦ come up
With all them niggas round your neck you ain't gon' never✦ come up
Maybe I'm jealous cause you love them more
Can't understand what you love them for
Don't get me wrong you know I love them too
But you know who I always✦ hold above✦ them, you
And it ain't nobody✦ business
I'll just make believe✦ that music can miraculously mend this
So I'll be a sound
And then you do your thing to it and we mix it down
And make a song my nigga,✦ cause even✦ when I'm away✦ I'll always✦ be around✦
