Dear Ruby

Lyrics

I know it bothers u to hear of my accomplishments from the streets I  know u much rather it comin from me But  I promised myself, I'd only talk about my so called career When I tell u 2 pack ya bags, we movin up outta here Until then...I kinda feel like a failure... I  know u proud, but I still feel like I failed ya... Cuz  I done seen plenty men bout plenty dogs Walked outta plenty offices slamming on plenty doors... They  want me to be something I'm not mama... And my self respect is all that I got mama And i won't compromise it for no profit mama They tried selling those dreams, I never bought em mama And  for that I gotta work twice as hard... On top of that, I'm still working my day job Some time ago in one of them rhymes I wrote I told u that it wouldn't be long before I would blow... It wasn't easy as I thought mama. Didn't think it be so hard mama Seemed so simple from afar mama... But the closer I get, the pressure's more mama And u know since I was young....all I wanted was to try and buy u Everything u want All I wanted was to do for u what u had done for us 3 kids, single parenting. I know the road was rough But u kept ya shoulders up and u never folded up Even if u did, u made sure it was never shown to us And my sister always tell me how I seem so strong to her It's cuz I had the best example growing up. Thank u mama Saying that sounds weird to me.... For 30 sum years I've called u Ruby Never ever no disrespect to ya...guess I always knew U were a precious jewel And I'll forever treasure u Always feel like I'm in debt to u Giving up is sum I'll never do That's y I'll try til my death for u
