Don`t come down, things will always work out now
Don`t come down, things will always work out now
Don`t come down, things will always work out now
So when you find yourself in tears

As a child I was foul
Ma, I couldn`t understand them things that came out your mouth
You would fuss, `cuz till your blood pressure was up
Then give up and slouch on the couch and drink ya liquor
A hard headed ni**a I was, quick temper

Short attention span, not attending class
What a dummy, I would run over you honey
You confront me and say "Obie, you no longer have a Mommy"

Don`t use my phone, don`t even eat my food
Matter of fact we don`t speak and it was just me and you
In the house with the mouse and them traps and that gat
Waitin` on the day for you to pull that trigger back

Don`t come down, things will always work out now
Don`t come down, things will always work out now
Don`t come down, things will always work out now
So when you find yourself in tears

"You tryin` to kill me boy, that`s what you wanna do, kill me?
Ma you`re not feelin` me, the beepers not that drastic
Blasted bastard, you`re lying
You tuck plastic freezer bags with dope inside of `em"

She knew but she hated that it was true
"I done raised two boys, I can do away with you"
The locks changed and the nights got colder
I`m slangin` boulders lookin` like, lookin` like a boat of toga

But f**k it `em the O`Ster, I`m down for mines Ma
She ride by my corner like I`m not gon` cry
I will not rid the pain of watchin` my youngest man
On the corner slanging cain to callin` the cops

Don`t come down, things will always work out now
Don`t come down, things will always work out now
Don`t come down, things will always work out now
So when you find yourself in tears

Even though I left the house wrong
Seventeen years old on my own, using these streets as my home
There`s no need to prolong this beef dear I love you
Miss Elenor Trice, I place no one above you

You the reason when I hustle, I knew to stack
The reason when I opened up mics, I knew to rip
Your ethics you en stored in this hectic young brotha
Rubbed off after all, now look at your boy

When they ask about me now, you don`t just put your head down
Straighten up Ma, you could smile now proud
Everything`s kosher with the boisterous O`Ster
Let`s get closer, so regrets never approach us

Don`t come down, things will always work out now
Don`t come down, things will always work out now
Don`t come down, things will always work out now
So when you find yourself in tears

Don`t come down, things will always work out now
Don`t come down, things will always work out now
Don`t come down, things will always work out now
So when you find yourself in tears
