The Game - My Love For You lyrics

[Hook] My love for you... Is like a angel flying through the sky Like a bird in the winter and... Your love for me... Is so deep, and sorta like a black rose cracking the cement My love for you... Lives on like the memory of Aaliyah singing a last song Your love for me... I'll never die like a black child struggling the ghetto to survive [Verse 1] My heart goes out to the beautiful woman that raised me 20 years after the wats riot early 80's Pops on d**, moms couldn't take me in Had a daughter already said she was to young to feed another baby And sh** got crazy, then 2 years came and went Baby's just growin' away, we can't even pay the rent No hot water, I reminisce tears running down my face as I hold my daughter You spent years by the fire place, I was in the garden every Sunday at the church Bible study at the cartends, I was hardhead Back then I was selling crack When your hard earned money paid for basketball practice Always at the game on time, yellin' at the coaches Wondering why your babyboy's sittin' on the pine Even though life gets hard sometimes, I keep my head up And I can make the sunshine in just one rhyme Walk with me [Hook] [Verse 2] In and outta lanes in that 57 Lincon continental, peddle to the floor Lookin' for the highway to Heaven, remember when your babyboy was 7 We had good times like I was Jay Jay and you was Fleur the Evans I should have listen to the Reverend, now I drain my pain in this 40 ounce And these born a** records, disrespectin' your house Livin' reckless, look at me, inside your j**elery box About to pawn your necklace, every night you were in the window, lookin' But what you do when your grandson's crooked, and he too old for whoopin' Used to tell me I was smarter than that, took me down to the Compton, swapt me Bought my first starter hat, pulled over raider jacket to match A pair of Levis, a number 8 Jordan's with the all black straps When you died my soul cracked, can I get a soul clap I'm walking without a heart, can somebody hold that? [Hook] [Verse 3] I got a lot of things I wanna ask the Lord Like why I can't see my grandmother face no more And why I can't seem to live without her And if I pray could He send her back to me one day Cause Heaven too crowded, everytime I think about it I'm missin' your smile, can barely cope My angel is gone, I'm heartbroke, drownin' in my own tears Somebody throw me a rope or spread my wings so I can fly I'm ready to die Might cry but I'm still a man, might be a man but I still cry Big mama, my angel in the sky If you wanna feel my pain, then close your eyes, hold your breath Now that's too close to d**h, open your eyes See the light now and if you love your grandmother like I love mine Go, tell her right now, I know how this might sound But my plan is to show you that I understand, you are appreciated! [Hook]
