D-Loc - Seen it Comin lyrics

[Hook: D-Loc] Now mama never told me it would be this way A hard lived n***a, so I had to find out the hard way And I shoulda seen it comin' I was startin' To think you don't see, eyes closed, mouth runnin' I shoulda seen it comin' [Verse 1: TraytL] Aye, I left home at the age fourteen Thought it was slick, like momma didn't know a damn thing See, you wanna be grown, I'm a go on and let him be No matter what, you can always come back here with me Man, she knew what kind of hood my cousin Faye lived in Plus I can't get into sh** that I'm already in All the n***as in the hood and n***as I hang with Stayed fresh everyday and got paid in grip And I'm lookin' like Lil Bunny from slang by the bail Wearin' JcPenny clothes, lookin' lame as hell So I came up with a way for me to make me some meal Cause I'm all cold fronting, I need a ounce of Yayo And the money came in bills like bails of hay Got knocked doin' paper cause where I am today. (Where you stay?) I'm back at the crib, but my mama found it only drama, she took me back in [Hook] [Verse 2: D-Loc] I know the lows might get ugly sometimes I shoulda did what my momma told me But instead, I chose to do my thing I never seen a sign until my time came Head hard as wood, won't listen Spent a little time in prison Now I'm standin' at the Crossroads A life out of sight, didn't know what I was in for I tried to make a change, but still the same mistakes [Verse 3: Dirt Dawg] Strap on your backpack, grab your lunch box and pencils Dirt Dawg gon' take all y'all to school Ain't it ironic, karma repeats herself your whole childhood But you had to grow up to find out it was true Now I'm the same age she was, when she tried to learn me something And I find myself telling my kids the same thing too Life is redundant, they don't listen like I did But I know they are a blessing, so I pray and have some patience too Plus I'm older now, wrap my son up in the hand me downs Jacket of love cause the world is colder now And I'm a hold him down for free, like momma did me Til' he's old enough to start his own family tree See, time repeats its self, so like I did my mom He'll probably call my house one day, asking me how to raise a family Son, your grandmomma didn't raise no fool I ain't raisin one neither, just be a believer [Hook]
