Lyrics
23rd & Nicholas "That's my stop," she said, I remember this In a hurry as she gathers her bags Her baby wipes fall to the floor, she's snatching it back For me, I'm thinking I'm just here to lend a hand To these kids and their mother who was obviously mad Mumbling about something that had to do with their dad I just got on this bus, I really don't understand I see this other dude tryna bite his tongue 'til he blurts out, “Yeah bitch, and that's why you dumb” He stands up, someone yells, “I'ma call the cops” Raises his hand to the sky as he calls her “thot” I'm standing in between the two, I want it all to stop The kids crying, I'm consoling 'em, we on the block I see dude back up, his eyes bigger Somebody got on the bus with a gun, she said, “Now what? That's my ni**a” Damn, she said, “That's my ni**a” I watched the dude looked kinda scared She said, “That's my ni**a” Everybody on the bus duckin' She said, “That's my ni**a” I'm like, “What did I get myself into?” My ni**a She's been sick for a minute, I do overtime hours Every now and then after work I bring her flowers I know it ain't much but it seems to give her power As the days go by, I watch her flesh get devoured They say she needs treatment, but I can't afford it The truth hurts my soul, but I can't avoid it I can only smile nowadays, hanging with my boy In the studio but of late we both found employment He's barely around and man, I can't call it I need my music therapy to get my mind off it Can't tell you how much it hurts to hear my aunt nauseous Got half the money but we running out of time on it I'm at the job talking, I see my guy walk in He had a bag and he said, “Look inside, dawg, it's The other half of the money you was tryin' get up" I broke down in tears, that's my ni**a I'm tellin' ya, man, I woulda never raised that money It's my ni**a You shoulda seen my face It's my ni**a And all this time, I'm thinking you avoiding me My ni**a Damn That's my ni**a I'm surrounded by greenery, as far as the scenery The forest is thick, hostile, kinda mean to me Wildlife seemingly screams at me That's ok ‘cause I know where I need to be My bags is light, so is my stomach, which is perfect for running My sandals ready just in case I hear ‘em coming I can't believe I done it, on the way to paradise My parents are wrong, I couldn't heed their advice If there is life, I wanna know what it feels like I don't wanna be a prisoner until I die That's when I hear a voice in the forest A bunch of pale faces surround me on horses Say, “Boy, what'chu doing? And where the hell you think you going?” I can't believe it, my escape to freedom has been ruined They beat me, whipped me, and put me in a noose Tied my arms so tight, I feel my shoulder coming loose They raise me by the oak as I choke My eyes bloody and closed but ears hear somebody approach And just as my spirit drifts up I hear massa say, “Dammit, cut him down, that's my ni**a!”
