December 4th

Shawn Carter was born December 4th\nWeighing in at 10 pounds 8 ounces\nHe was the last of my 4 children\nThe only one who didn’t give me any pain when i gave birth to him\nAnd that’s how i knew that he was a special child\nThey say «they never really miss you til you dead or you gone»\nSo on that note i’m leaving after the song\nSo you ain’t gotta feel no way about Jay so long\nAt least let me tell you why i’m this way, Hold on\nI was conceived by Gloria Carter and Adaness Revees\nWho made love under the Siccamore tree\nWhich makes me\nA more sicker emcee than my momma would claim\nAt 10 pounds when i was born i didn’t give her no pain\nAlthough through the years i gave her her fair share\nI gave her her first real scare\nI made up for birth when i got here\nShe knows my purpose wasn’t purpose\nI ain’t perfect i care\nBut i feel worthless cause my shirts wasn’t matchin my gear\nNow i’m just scratchin the surface cause what’s burried under there\nWas a kid torn apart once his pop disappeared\nI went to school got good grades could behave when i wanted\nBut i had demons deep inside that would raise when confronted\nHold on\nShawn was a very shy child growing up\nHe was into sports\nAnd a funny story is\nAt 4 he taught hisself how to ride a bike\nA two wheeler at that\nIsn’t that special?\nBut, i noticed a change in him when me and my husband broke up\nNow all the teachers couldn’t reach me\nAnd my momma couldn’t beat me\nHard enough to match the pain of my pop not seeing me, SO\nWith that distain in my membrain\nGot on my pimp game\nFuck the world my defense came\nThen da haven introuced me to the game\nSpanish Jos
