Sit tight right there, got a lil� story I want to share�
about a certain young man who used to live around here-
his young life was jail after jail�
He used to run these streets thuggin�� yeah, of course he used to sell�
he went to prison a few years ago� Got out and started that same ole flow�
didn�t learn a damn thing� never really cared to know... When he was 23, he met this woman named Nikki� a beautiful girl, very intelligent who had just moved to our city� he bought her DESIGNER this and that� Plenty of low-cut shit to admire her big titties�
they lived together for about 2 1/2 years� soon after she had the baby, she got hooked on his supply� then, started to frequently disappear..
Cris, then began to slowly change� FINALLY, reality set in to his brain� realized he couldn�t do things quite the same�Nikki's doped out, later found dead, in the "click house" where he used to hang
Now left alone to raise his child� no more slangin� dope� no more actin� wild�
He made hard choices to give his daughter everything she'd need... he took his black ass back to school and got his degree�
got hired last just week by a big ass company�
and Cristine, his little girl, happy and healthy as could be�
I stopped him one day�
because I had to say� how I had watched him grow in a major way�
he smiled with intensity�then he said� one night, right before he went to bed� Something touched his life and the thoughts changed in his head�
my daughter is my life now�and that is fine with me� she's beautiful, playful� and so very sweet�
my world was changed when she looked in my eyes� and clearly said the word "daddy", yep, that's me.
he said no matter what you�ve done in your life� and no matter where you�ve been� you take on a new perspective�
when parenthood finds the pathway in�
God blessed me with an eyes open-2nd chance� one I chose to embrace� not rich and famous like "I" thought I would be� but extremely rich in a different place�
I said, damn, this is a new day-he IS a different man with a much better plan
ole� Cris from round da� way!
