Mswallace (outro) Lyrics - Born Again - Notorious B.i.g.

Hi I'm Voletta Wallace, Biggie's mom 

I wish to thank you for your kind words 

You warm gestures and your constant support over the years 

I also need to share with you a few words about my son 

Please take a few moments and listen 

I hope you gain something from it, thanks 

As a child Christopher was outspoken 

When it suited him at times he was quiet 

And of course he was mischievous as all little boys are 

As a young man he likes to do everything 

He liked to read, he liked to be with his friends 

As young kids or young boys he enjoyed life 

Everything that would make him happy or comfortable 

He would do but mostly he enjoyed being with his friends and family

His early inspirations toward rap music were 

The LL's of the world, the Sugar Hills, the Mr. Magics 

And the Fat Boys of the rap channel 

Those were all the things I heard in the house 

Even though I called it noise and banging 

I know now, it is a accepted musical art form 

I was a single parent, I raised my son on my own 

His father had no influence on his decision 

Towards the musical outlet or career he chose 

My son had a mind of his own, even if his father was around 

He would have turned to rap he loved music, he loved rap 

At a point in my sons life he developed paranoia 

About death and about the dying 

We are living in a world of imperfect human beings 

Where greed, jealousy and envy 

Are manifested by what others have accomplished in life 

My son was very very much aware of that 

Photos 

He appreciated his station in life on the directions 

In which he was going or traveling 

On the other hand there were others 

Who I should use the hip hop phrase player hating 

And I think that is what resulted in his paranoia 

If I had to change anything in my sons life 

That would have allowed him to be here today 

I would have deterred him from a career in music 

I'm aware that millions appreciate his music, millions loved his music 

Be that it may if he hadn't chosen that lifestyle, that career 

My son would be alive today 

If I could sum up Christopher in one word the word would be generous 

The thing that my son loved most about life was the fact that 

He was in a position to help, position to share 

Position to give to others who needed, to others who wanted 

To others appreciated the gifts that he gave
