born equality - promise to embrace lyrics

[verse 1:]
like a scene out of sugar hill we at the crescendo
what’s breaking my heart as we stand at these crossroads, face to face
eyes full of hate, muscles tense, burning strong both hesitant to shoot knowing we wrong
we went from cheech & chong to puffy & suge
i’m thinking back to the hood we posted and smoke woods, flagging down dimes a team mamis couldn’t resist
popular amongst the fiends cuz how we cut our sh-t
started off with l!cks then it [?] to hustlers
once money started coming in the city saw a change in us, dare i say hot boys
clubbing, be chopping and whatnot
listenin’ to illmatic, favorite song was ’halftime’
memories running thru my mind, as i aim this nine, tryna hide the pain i feel inside
alright stay focused, don’t flinch n-gga i’m warning you i told your -ss you shoulda copped bigger than twenty-two
with that pearl handle you was always in the b-tter, i considered you brother
at your crib me and your [?] l-sted eachother but i never touched her
respected your bounds, now how the f-ck did that pig get my real name?
stop stuttering, happened to my brothers keeper, fear ain’t no excuse either
you spineless motherf-cker d-mn i need some reefer as i c-ck back
more flashbacks i’m fighting, finger squeezing tighter and tighter
why? sh-t, your actions started raising suspicion was my reply
money started coming up missin’ was my reply
you only spent a week in prison was my reply, and the pigs talkin about they got a witness
one tear falls from my eyes before it hits the ground i kiss my n-gga goodbye -pow-

promised to embrace me with the love of mother to child, brother to brother, husband and wife
and now how could you forsake me?
you promised to embrace me with the love of mother to child, brother to brother, husband and wife
and now how could you forsake me?

[verse 2:]
since first conversation i knew friendship was in the makin’
time p-ssed emotions grew every time we had relations
our beginning was humble, no wine and dine
did what i could to make you feel like a queen even though i was just [?]
beautiful features, smile that could melt the hardest thug, angelic voice
no wonder your mom named you that huh? we separated
ma had a career to look after i supported even though i knew that was the end of our chapter
what should i say the beginning of a romance novel, tv soaps arguments over neglect i wonder how i could cope but i kept up hope convinced that you were doing the same
did what i did cuz i wanted you to have my last name
trouble with your father, let you shed tears over my shoulder then kissed your eyelids so the pain could be over
fell out of contact, came back, i embraced you
a month later phone call “you’re gonna be a daddy boo”
mixed emotions, dropped everything and flew to your side
[?] i held my part of the bargain right
i’m not easy to live with, stubborn, i’m moody as f-ck
but ma, what you did was really f-cked up
sent me the dream of a wife and a daughter being my fate
after seven years of dreamin’ i’m finally awake

promised to embrace me with the love of mother to child, brother to brother, husband and wife
and now how could you forsake me?
