Tupacsum Ipsum To all the ladies havin babies on they own. Daddy's long gone and he left you by ya lonesome. And uhh, I know they like to beat ya down a lot.
Now Brenda's gotta make her own way. Cause sista you don't need him. Cause if it did, you couldn't take it, and don't blame me.
She tried to sell crack, but end up getting robbed. Though I walk through the valley of death. Momma say, you makin' me lose pay, the social workers here everyday.
Will I survive til the mo'nin, to see the sun. Now that I'm strugglin in this business, by any means. And in the end it seems I'm headin for tha pen.
Just cause your in the ghetto doesn't mean ya can't grow. I hope ya got the diamond necklace that I sent to you. And I appreciate, how you raised me. I know it's kinda rough and you're feelin all alone. But please don't cry, dry your eyes, never let up.
And all I had ta give her was my pipe dream. Ya steady hopin things don't all down this week. Wouldn't hear the cries.
We ain't meant to survive, cause it's a setup. And even though we had different daddy's, the same drama. Got our name from a woman and our game from a woman.
