M.o.p. - Foundation Lyrics
Uh...Uh...Cmon! uh!Firing squad nigga!Yeah!You see it...First family...First family, cmon...[billy danze]Every night I sit and bask in the memories of frank andSayin to myself what the hell was he thinkinUsage of illegal drugs and heavy drinkinHad my old man sinkinNow you never seen the danze cryBut the day that man diedMy life came crumblin down like a landslideDamn pride, now Im in the zoneWonderin how long before me and my moms would be aloneI remember what he saidLayin on his deathbed, rubbin his shiny bald headRespect your sister, dont follow your brothersTake care of your mother... I love ya [croaking]He told me he believed in meAnd he has given meThe strength to be as strong as I need to beThats when I realized he was leavin meIt wasnt just my heart or my eyes deceivin meAt the age of fourteenIt was more than just a goal or dreamTo take care of my queenIts my turn to stand firm as I could stand[just like your daddy...]My father was a good manHook 2x w/ lil fameFor the foundationWe have suffered *blood, sweat and tears*And cleared all complicationsPut it down, in any situationNow, you are the last generation[lil fame]I was introduced to shootouts, winosDope fiends, 5-0Gamblers, scramblers, pan handlersMurderers that took lives just to survive, in 1545The building, raised as a young niggaWith thug niggasHeld down drugs for love niggasDrug dealers bang out, gun shots rang outBesides that ez house, was the hang outNiggas stole cars, and made the spot hotCuz we parked em on the blockLike we copped em off the lotCant forget the older soldiers, sputnionMan mad poppin b, say marce saratoga!Mother*****ers knew the block that was poppin them gunsThey was like the first niggas in the hood wit m-1sSome niggas got beat up, them niggas tore the street upThey do dirt, come back, [slap, put the heat up]Retaliation, niggas shootin for deadThey *****ed around and mommy got hit in the legSame night, niggas out to get somethinMalik ran up inside they spot, and hit somethinI learned the game, stay concernedSo no matter how the world turn ima stand firmRepresentin where I was born and where I was raisedBrownsville! still goin out in a blazeHook 2x w/ danze
