(Verse 1)
Everything changed fast
I thought of u just the other day
bout' how u and every1 else is goin' down da same path
but I chose another way
I was chillin' in my room listenin' to 2pac
it brought u to my mind so I called u and wat u told me was a true shock
u told me u pregnant I asked "How far along r u" u answerd "2 months"
now I'm tryin' 2 figure out when we all grew up
1st Nicole had a baby, then Sherry had a baby, then my sister
now u gon' have one 2 talk about a life twister
when da hell did we all grow up and become adults
I told u I was prayin' for Brandon cause' da boy needs some help
I'm not sure if u know this but Brandon's homeless
he's stuck outside in da coldness
and it's fucked up cause' dats r cousin
and no1 will take him in cause' they don't trust him
cause' he stole from all of us and it's sad when it's family u can't trust in
(Course)
and I'm lookin' back on yesterday
it seems like it was just today
we were kids at play
and life was easy
and I miss those day's believe me
we grew up to fast where did the years go
and how come every1 else seems to be walkin' down a clear road
yet the road I'm walkin' down is hazy
I don't know which way I'm goin' it's crazy
I just hope some1 saves me
(Verse 2)
I'm scared of the future cause' I don't know wat da future holds
and I gotta face the truth even though the truth hurts yo
Uncle Danny's up for parole
I hate it cause' he ruined r lives me, u, and Nicole
we didn't ask to be abused
we didn't ask to be so bruised
I'mma be honset the only 1's I got respect 4 r u and Niki
cause' u and Nicole went through the pain wit me
and I thank u cause when every1 else ignored me
u and Nicole were the only 1's there for me
I remember the walks we had at night
as we talked about how bad a life
we lived cause' we lived in fright
worryin' bout' the pain we endured
wonderin' is he comin' back cause' we can never be assured
and the pain from the past can never be cured
(Course)
and I'm lookin' back on yesterday
it seems like it was just today
we were kids at play
and life was easy
and I miss those day's believe me
we grew up to fast where did the years go
and how come every1 else seems to be walkin' down a clear road
yet the road I'm walkin' down is hazy
I don't know which way I'm goin' it's crazy
I just hope some1 saves me
(Verse 3)
I asked God "Why is my family so crooked"
they always end up in jail, on drugs, or dead thats some crooked shit
anyway back to u, u said u saw r cousin' Keith the other day at the store
he didn't reconize u just shows that r family has seperated and thats 4 sure
I can't believe how fast time changes things
how strange it seems
how time rearranges things
and how life has the strangest means
when I was listenin' to pac
and thought of u and how we used to have those talks
I realized that u were the only 1 who knew who I was and
I thank u my cousin
cause' u the only 1 I trust in
so thank u Erica
and just know I'm always there 4 ya
