Well my moms was a fox she's still a fox. But my sister grew up she took her spot as the fox. But it still was all good. My dad used to work all the time he was rarely home. Sing this song. You see uh I used just to watch cartoons. Back then my homies didn't have war wounds. You fast forward a little older when I got. A lot of my homies see that they all got shot. But I remember the days I remember the times. When we used to listen Eric B and Rakim for rhymes. And we used to shoot ball at the park everyday. But now things changed I'm on my way see.
