Kelly Price (Jay-Z)
Talking: Throughout my life (uh huh uh huh uh)
no matter
what I’ve done.(Right)
You’ve been merciful and your love endureth (yeah)
through all
things (ye yeah) For that
I am eternally grateful.

Verse 1
Since my
date of birth
bought you nothing but hurt
play those video games
stole change
from ya purse
Sat on the cold court bench
’til I was arraigned in ya skirt
Saw
the pain in ya face
through you maintained a smirk
All you did was motivate me,
don’t let ’em hold you back
What I do I turned around
and I sold you crack,
I was a bastard for that
still I’m drowning in shame
Just remember one thing
now
you’re not to blame
You was newly separated
tryin’ to escape ya world,
and through my thirst
I didn’t help you
I just made things worse
I hated me
and everybody
that created crack

My High School FAVE!!! Probably was made to this, lol!!!


The manuscript Blue Lines is the fictional coming of age narrative of a young California woman Key Yemaya Walker, and her 2 year growing journey through school, love, and life period piece, written by Kenneth Suffern, Jr., taking place at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill between the years of 1997 – 1998. Loosely based on true events, and experiences during that time, told through the eyes and voice of the main female protagonist, a freshman first attending the school.
