[Billy Danze] Every night I sit and bask in the memories of Frank and Sayin to myself what the hell was he thinkin Usage of illegal drugs and heavy drinkin Had my old man sinkin Now you never seen the Danze cry But the day that man died My life came crumblin down like a landslide Damn pride, now I'm in the zone Wonderin how long before me and my moms would be alone I remember what he said Layin on his deathbed, rubbin his shiny bald head Respect your sister, don't follow your brothers Take care of your mother... I love ya [croaking] He told me he believed in me And he has given me The strength to be as strong as I need to be That's when I realized he was leavin me It wasn't just my heart or my eyes deceivin me At the age of fourteen It was more than just a goal or dream To take care of my queen It's my turn to stand firm as I could stand [Just like your daddy...] My father was a good man HOOK 2X w/ Lil Fame For the Foundation We have suffered *Blood, Sweat and Tears* And cleared all complications Put it down, in any situation Now, you are the last generation [Lil Fame] I was introduced to shootouts, winos Dope fiends, 5-0 Gamblers, scramblers, pan handlers Murderers that took lives just to survive, in 1545 The building, raised as a young nigga With thug niggas Held down drugs for love niggas Drug dealers bang out, gun shots rang out Besides that EZ house, was the hang out Niggas stole cars, and made the spot hot Cuz we parked 'em on the block Like we copped 'em off the lot Can't forget the older soldiers, Sputnion Man mad poppin B, say Marce' Saratoga! Motherfuckers knew the block that was poppin them guns They was like the first niggas in the hood wit M-1's Some niggas got beat up, them niggas tore the street up They do dirt, come back, [Slap, put the heat up] Retaliation, niggas shootin for dead They fucked around and mommy got hit in the leg Same night, niggas out to get somethin Malik ran up inside they spot, and hit somethin I learned the game, stay concerned So no matter how the world turn I'ma stand firm Representin where I was born and where I was raised Brownsville! Still goin out in a blaze HOOK 2X w/ Danze
