and your mom was savin money for you in a jar
tryin to start a piggy bank for you so you could go to college
almost had a thousand dollars til someone broke in and stole it
and i know it hurt so bad it broke your momma's heart
and it seemed like everything was just startin to fall apart
mom and dad was arguin a lot
so momma moved back on charmas in a flat one bedroom apartment
and dad moved back to the other side of 8 mile on Novara
and thats when daddy went to California with his cd
and met dr. dre who flew you and momma out to see me
but daddy had to work you and momma had to leave me
then you started seein daddy on the tv
and momma didn't like it
and you and laney were to young to understand it
papa was a rolling stone, momma developed a habit
and it all happened to fast for either one of us to grab it
im just sorry you were there and had to witness it first hand
cause all i ever wanted to do was just make you proud
now im sittin in this empty house
