(feat. Ebony Burke)
[U-God]
My mother said my father was a real livewire
Hustled on the avenue of Lennox
That he was a don, shot dope in his arm
Paid visits to the methodon clinic
A straight womanizer, no religion
He just leaned on b**hes
His name rung in the slums, n***az run for they gun
Blood thirsty, he was so vicious
[Chorus: U-God (Ebony Burke)]
Poppa was a rolling stone (he left a long time ago)
Poppa was a rolling stone (he never ever was at home, no, no)
Momma said daddy's dead (stop messing with the baby's head)
One day he'll grow up strong (one day he'll be a man)
[U-God]
Momma said father was a mean muthaf**a
A clean muthaf**a, a lean muthaf**a
Got money in the pot, got his pops in the block
For sellings rocks, a dope fiend, muthaf**as
He struggled all his life, got blood on his knife
Light skinned, he had your eyes
But my mother couldn't handle him
The liquor, the gambling, plus he had four wives
[Chorus]
[U-God]
My mother said my father had a real bad temper
Loud, wild, he was too foul
With no hesitation, he would k** you
With no education, he was still proud
With his brother Big Harvey, he did a bank robbery
A car flipped, all the money spilled out
Before it was done, police caught him with some
Riddle of bullets, he died in a shootout
[Chorus x2]
