Lyrics:
(Cozmo Jethro)
I wrote this song about a girl I know.
She overcame so much, yo here we go.

Growing up  in the 70s and 80s.
Had a tough time growin up in Spokane.
An absent father and an alcoholic mother.
Yea, she knew what it was to persevere.

She was married at age 17.
Two kids later, divorced at 19.
Had her third kid at age 21.
In another relationship with a struggling one.

This went on for 8 years.
Till she saw some fears,
He just couldn’t lay off the beers.

Now a single mom with 3 kids.
What an amazing job she did.

With street smarts and little education.
She started college, 30 years of dedication.
She still had to work and provide for the kids.
College start and stop, had to take care of her biz. 

(Crissy)
Wanting to provide a better life.
Better life, better life.

Inspired by my kids.
Growing for my family.
Earning and learning.
To provide for their needs.

Wanting to be a transitional fam.
Changing past legacy, oh man.
Thanking God for the wisdom.
To set us free!

(Cozmo Jethro)
As time went by she climbed the corporate ladder.
While raisin those kids, that girls a scrapper.
Then came kid number four with her life partner.
Another great kid for her to mentor.

All this time starting and stopping college.
Trying to get it done but it wasn’t happening.

She landed a job she had no business getting.
Only pharma rep in the country, no degree.
With positive attitude, gutsy, and scrappy.
She pulls off those amazing things.

All while working her tail off. Yea.
To provide for her family.

(Crissy)
Wanting to provide a better life.
Better life, better life.

Inspired by my kids.
Growing for my family.
Earning and learning.
To provide for their needs.

Wanting to be a transitional fam.
Changing past legacy, oh man.
Thanking God for the wisdom.
To set us free!

(Cozmo Jethro)
Now she’s makin it big.
In the pharma gig.
Time to try for that degree again.
Finally.

George Fox University.
Full time pharma rep 
full time accelerated degree.

Somehow for two years she pulled it off.
Just graduated Magna Cum Laude.
2025, with a double degree.
That’s my girl, that’s my Crissy.
My scrappy, gutsy, smart beautiful wife.
Makin everything better for all our lives.
Took her 30 years to get that degree.
So proud of my wife, let’s celebrate, yipppeeee.
Whooooo Crissy, you did it girl! You got that degree, 30 years of perseverence. yaaa haaaa!
(Crissy)
Yea, by the grace of god, tenacity and manifestation, we made it happen.
(Lydia) Go Mom!
(Adam) Good job Mom!
(Tristan) Great work Mom!
(Merey and Korey) You did it Mom!

(Cozmo Jethro scratches).

It was Christmas 2024.
Opened this present.
Was like yo what's that for?

So I shelved it for a few months yea.

It was sittin under my desk.
I should do somethin with this.
So I hooked it up.
Was like, damn that's the shit!

Numark Mixtrack Platinum FX
I can do a lot more with thi thi thi thi thi this.

(Cozmo Jethro scratches).

Now I don't pretend to be a DJ.
Much more comfortable yea, as an emcee.
But it's fun to play with the equipment.
Make those sounds, and break it down.

Give props, to Grandmaster Flash.
And the originator, Grand Wizard Theodore.
I wanna scratch like DJ Real. https://soundcloud.com/the-dj-real
The best DJ I know on the wheels of steel.

Maybe someday, I can scratch like him.
Would take practice to scratch like that Australian.
But for now, I'll keep havin fun.
And improvin my tracks, yo one by one.

Yo Nasty, where my readers at?
I got pains in my ankle, my knee, and my butt.
But I’m still here yea rockin the cut.

Just 2 old school b boys
Who can’t get enough
Of that old school hip hop
Everybody says, what?

Now that I’m older
I’ve passed the test.
Livin life to the fullest
Mostly do what I want, yep.

I ride down the road
With my 12 inch subs
Bumpin that old school hip hop
Feelin the love.

Yea I got problems like everybody else.
But I roll with the punches
Boom bap yea!

Got lots to look forward to
And everybody knows
That at this age,
Gotta prove nothin to nobody yo.

So we’ll keep rockin the mic
And doin our thing,
Old school rap is what we bring.

In our stance, oh yea, that's true.
Some fly kicks on our feet. LIke that (like that.)
Adidas laced up like that (like that.)

Ready to go, yea prepare for more.
Yi, with a mind, that be a weapon.
