A prophet in his early stage, his in the early 30s Was married to pops wishin' what she carried would I'm not worthy to come from a women so pure, Ann Flesh of her flesh, of her blood, her blood and bones prayers, she askin' for my good health That I become a man and learn to a way for myself Nervous she was, and her paranoia got in my Mixed with from my daddy's genes

Pops told my moms, "Push and take deep too Stay calm", holdin' her arm, I'm to hold on Surgical gloves touching my scalp, my pops out Everything is blurry, my breath screams out Tears pouring down my face he's so proud to hold me, but I was so bloody They washed me off and he said, "At least nigga ain't ugly" Placed me in his snuggly, laid me on my mother
Finally, I got to see who me in her body She love me, and yo I plan to overthrow the Y'all about to see this world in
