Cause, growing up I was so sad
How my mama gave me up to the wrong dad
And, I think about it, made me so mad
How, sometimes I wish I woulda had a dad
They told me, little hood, keep strong, yeah
They told me, little hood, keep strong, yeah
They told me, little hood, keep strong, yeah
They told me, little hood, keep strong, yeah
Mama was so young, and dumb
But you was older, shoulda got it right
