There Comes A Time - Tha Eastsidaz, Daddy V

Yeah, Jellyroll on the beat

What we gone do on this Eastside track right here

We gone give it up uh, to our favorite girls

To momma — without you there would be no me

You feel what I’m talkin 'bout?

Yeah

There comes a time, when we

Need more, love in the family

Thanks for.

(thank you momma)

The good times and, the bad times, can’t you see

Thank you for everything you’ve done for me (you only get one)

Momma this all my life

I used to put everything on you, and I knew it wattn’t right

You snatched me out the deep cracks

You hooked my ass everytime I talked smack

I know they sayin, «Gladys, your son stressin off the system»

I used to kiss her everyday, look momma I miss her

Do you remember, when I almost died

I’m back a new man and I didn’t even cry

I used to tell lies, steal from your purse

Until I seen Pancake pushed away in a hearse

Momma it hurts — you dreamed of how I got smoke?

Lil' cousin off dope, cuz that’s all she wrote

I did a song wit her — lemme go find it so I can play it for ya

And bang it for my lil' neice Sade

She remind me of me and my big sister when we used to play

I love you mom until I die

I know I gave you hell, but you raised me well

Barely twelve years old but I stayed in jail

Supposed to be up at school, but I be ditchin to steal

And even though we kinda po', we ain’t missin a meal

Feelin bad cuz my pants and my shirt don’t match

I’m burglurizin, and I’m snatchin every purse on fat

Nobody helpin you with rents since pops done split

So I’m advanced in my plans, how to clock my chips

Takin nonsense rich, started runnin with Crips

Handcuffs on my wrists, now your lovin I miss

Cuz I’m the baby of the family, your pride and joy

But I know sometimes ya wonder what’s inside ya boy

Stay patient mamma, I’mma figure out my path

Then we can laugh and forget about the past

I have my own children, so now it’s my turn

And I’m grateful for the chance, now I get to learn

True love.
