and bob their head

and listen to

what you had to say,

meaning the whole world stops

and listens to you,

what would you have to say?

- Y'all walk with me

real quick.

Uh.

Thinking back to '84

When I was a pain

in my mother's eye

From the day of birth,

I ripped her insides

I wasn't planned

I was an option

The first she kept

but the second conceived

Wondered if she knew the same

would happen to me

Mother's Cry,

that's basically

talking about my ordeal

and having to make a decision

on whether or not to have a child,

which I didn't.

I knew my life be different

As I walked up in the clinic

Four months pregnant

The seed growing

in my stomach

I can feel it

Just talking about how I felt

walking in the clinic,

how I felt, you know,

just thinking back, like, you know,

if my mother sat with me a minute.

The source of my music

is basically my life,

personal situations that people,

I guess, are scared to touch on,

or, you know, to let go.

So for me it's like, you know,

freeing myself

from, you know,

pains inside of me.

I just free myself

through my writing and my music.

You don't know

what it is like

Attached to your baby

And you 'bout

to take its life

I wanted to keep it

But the consequence

I couldn't handle...

- Well, Ma Dukes

just passed on Monday.

I was in this classroom when

this girl came up and was like,

"Oh, Chris, you got a call. "

I was like, "What is it? "

She's like, "I don't know if I should be

the one telling you this. "

And I was like, "What? "

He was like, "You know,

basically I was in the hospital. "

He's like,

"Basically your mother died. "

I never experienced death.

Like, I never been to a funeral

before in my whole life.

I regret it;

I told my moms that Sunday

that I was gonna see her.

And I didn't even

go nowhere that day.

I didn't even go see her,

and she was right down the block.

But I spoke to her on the phone.

She called me,

and the aide was,

like, making out everything

that she was saying.

She was like, "She misses you.

She wants to see you,

and she wants to come home. "

And I always hate it when

my moms is in the hospital,

always hated that sh*t.

I'm telling you,

that's definitely what keeps me, like,

even wanting to do stuff is music.

What I think it is about music

is just that it's something

that's, like,

you know what I'm saying,

when you feel like you

don't have anything in the world.

It's a sense of ownership.

- I'm proud to accomplish,

you know,

regardless ofwhether

it's a high school diploma

or getting my GED.

I did it,

and I did it on time.

Running late.

When my father left,

I didn't know what was next,
