[Verse 1]
I guess as the old saying goes:
âYouâre a product of your environment âcause the product shows
And everything little you do, son, is subconscious
Repeating history, unknowingâyou canât stop itâ
I remember when she first copped it
I had to be about six years old because I sat and watched it
A childâs innocence
Hear, bear witness to his mother smoking crack for the first time was detriment
A scar permanent on the heart of this youngster
Causing him to be a statistic once he gets older
Walking with the weight on his shoulders of mountain boulders
He never knew what love felt likeâhis heart is cold as
Ice as he fights to put warm in his sternum
Tryinâ to love his seedsâthe opposite how he learned it
But deep inside is still where that child resides
Up waitinâ within the midst of the night, like:
[Hook x2]
I remember it was three in the morninâ
Thatâs when I woke, stretchinâ and yawninâ
Just to see her grab her coat and say, âIâll be back in the morninâ
Iâll stop using soonâI promise, I promiseâ
[Verse 2]
Days turned to months. Months turned to years
Just to see millions of families lost in the sphere
Of this drug war where mothers is sheddinâ tears
âCause they gotta bury they children year after year
Kids put in foster care, itâs unfair
How a substance can destroy so many homesâitâs queer
The rush of the cokeâll have you acting the savage
Robbing your own kinfolk, shooting, and stabbing
Just to manage habits daddy calls âeternal damageâ
Just to sober up and not remember what happened
It all seems careless âcause when reality sets
You find yourself twenty years later full of regret
Gambling and dope are many tools of the Devil
Thisâll try to take you to hell at any level
But listen close to the children cries
While the parents steady losing they lives
On the mission like:
[Hook x2]
I remember it was three in the morninâ
Thatâs when I woke, stretchinâ and yawninâ
Just to see her grab her coat and say, âIâll be back in the morninâ
Iâll stop using soonâI promise, I promiseâ
