Never thinkin' I was good enough
If it wasn't for that bitch
Feel I been chosen to loose, I paid my dues, oh
Always it's something, something, something goin' on
Got us fighting over dumbness
If it wasn't for yo' brotha
If it wasn't for yo' momma
If it wasn't for that bitch
If it wasn't for yo' momma
Just 'cause momma fed you right all your life
But baby love, you'd be right here
Always checkin' every move, I gave up
Tell me why must I, since they bought us things
That's your momma and I can't take it, no more
But baby love, you'd be right here
Got my heart on some numbness
Always checkin' every move, I gave up
That they're pressuring me away from you
Doesn't mean that they ain't workin' you
Always checkin' every move, I gave up
Down the block always in yo' ear
Never thinkin' I was good enough
Down the block always in yo' ear
Cousin's, aunts and uncles too
But baby love, you'd be right here
When you're trying to do your thing
Just because we know them
If it wasn't for yo' brotha
Don't mean she walk on a perfect line
Gotta learn to keep your family out the game
Be no room for messin' up
If it wasn't for yo' momma
Be no room for messin' up
If it wasn't for that bitch
Mothers, sisters, fathers, brothers
I gets no joy but when I hurt
Always checkin' every move, I gave up
Down the block always in yo' ear
Never thinkin' I was good enough
You know them be the main 'cause
Suffer indefinitely for loving you
Be no room for messin' up
Down the block always in yo' ear
Sugar why must I prove to anybody but you
If it wasn't for yo' brotha
I'd been lying too, if I said to you
They got more that's due
So when it hurts, it really hurts
If it wasn't for that bitch
Be no room for messin' up
If it wasn't for yo' brotha
Watch your step or pay the price, sacrifice
It's that she's run this
