[00:25.03]I'm at the house bout to roll this kush up
[00:28.07]I can get a call at any minute, so I'm just doing push-ups
[00:30.71]
[00:32.01]Waiting on what seems to be forever
[00:34.01]I burned a hole in my Polo sweater cause I was nervous
[00:37.43]That's how crazy birth is, loading up this Beretta
[00:40.30]Cause this time I'm having a baby girl
[00:42.11]So it's whatever, whenever... whatever
[00:45.53]You my willow and it's my will to make this last forever
[00:49.82]First thing I'm a tell her? Daddy's your umbrella
[00:52.76]Get with a glass slipper Cali, you my Cinderella
[00:55.87]Gotta be a dream, hold up, that's your middle name!
[00:59.15]Both your brothers big now, so baby you my little Game
[01:02.34]Who gonna be the Godfather? Lil Wayne?
[01:05.25]Y'all smoke too much but got Cali tatted on his veins
[01:08.67]And I just got a text from your mama
[01:11.29]Saying the water burst, I guess it's time for my comma...
[01:15.06]
[01:39.60]You walk through the door, she on the ground crying
[01:41.61]She don't wanna get up, you had a baby right here
[01:44.16]I ain't cleaning that shit up!
[01:45.85]I finally got her out the house, now we on the elevator
[01:48.97]She screaming, her left the car seat
[01:51.02]But I'm a tell her later
[01:52.33]Forget the car seat - man - I'm hella-faded
[01:54.89]
[01:55.62]She like "I know you ain't high! " Man, I'm celebrating...
[01:58.04]Now we in the car, she won't put on her seatbelt
[02:01.61]Screaming at the top of her lungs: "I need help! "
[02:05.04]Weaving through traffic, minutes between contractions
[02:06.58]Close your eyes right now, and you can see it happening
[02:10.76]Imagine: she pulling on me "stop I'm about to crash, shit! "
[02:14.37]Butterflies in my stomach, heart beating fast as shit
[02:17.24]Every time I have a kid, it's like the first time
[02:20.35]Kids the best, but they be coming at the worst times
[02:23.47]Now we here, Tiff get in the wheelchair
[02:26.45]Butterflies still here - am I happy? Hell yeah!
[02:30.19]
[02:55.22]I parked the car, now I'm running through the halls lost
[02:57.90]Trying to figure out which one of these rooms is ours
[03:00.64]Think: damn... one of the nurses stuck her head out
[03:03.86]They gave her an epideral so I pulled the couch bed out
[03:07.11]Took a nap, woke up, they almost got the head out
[03:10.06]She grabbing on the rails, looking like she about to pass out
[03:13.37]Told her to breathe, grab my phone and hit record
[03:16.24]"Breathe! 1, 2, 3, 4 - one more - 1, 2, 3, 4"
[03:22.58]Push! C'mon Tea, push! God damn it, just push! "
[03:26.09]Nurse coaching her, doctor pulling on shoulders
[03:29.39]Giving me the notion to cut the umbilical
[03:31.75]She out, 8 pounds 4 ounces
[03:34.80]Hold up: I'm about to make an announcement
[03:38.09]See, every time a child is born somebody leave the world
[03:40.84]So I thank the woman who gave her life for my baby girl
