[00:00:30] Me and my brother

[00:00:32] Not knowing the pain he gave my mother

[00:00:34] Night after night fighting yelling at each other

[00:00:37] My papa played the street all day

[00:00:38] Mama was either home at work

[00:00:41] While we played inside the hall way

[00:00:43] She sacrifices all she got to feed us

[00:00:45] When she was alone she cried

[00:00:47] By the phone pepping out the window heeding

[00:00:49] But still I didn't see it

[00:00:51] Mama hid it from us

[00:01:35] Watch me crawl till I took my first step

[00:01:37] To the first grade

[00:01:39] To my first fist fight

[00:01:40] Right behind me he would stand

[00:01:42] No matter how big or tall he

[00:01:43] Made me fight you like a man

[00:03:04] Before he left he taught me something

[00:03:06] A child's young years the

[00:03:07] Most important time to be there
