In she came, with a dope type frame
The most incredible woman that my eyes ever seen
So insaneHow her melanin was popping
My nature had ta rise like the Nike stock option
Deep as the mob encouraged her to quit her job
At "We Got Ya′ll"
Showed her how to be an outlaw
Spoke with her 'bout healthy eating habits
Ugh
Dope with her, opioids and white addicts
Rap, crispus attucks
That historical procedure
She had me going out to black box theaters
God steered us on a path
For some elevation
′Cause for awhile our math was only 'bout some recreation
High percentage ale, being kids like garbage pail
But what prevailed was that TLC and fan mail
U feeling me? communication is key
Like queen, I'm on the floor, how u gon′ leave before u dance with me?
We got it right tho
Run it like a hi-lo
Running defenders off the pick, this here is nitro
Impact powerful
Men stop being prideful
It′s up to us to keep the family alive yo!
So the story ends, the same way life begins
With love, hope, positivity
Circle of friends
We either elevate or Brady ur spirit
Go together, grow together, go beyond the outer limits
Redefining black love
No wifey, just wives
Ugh
Rock with me
We in the times, fake soldiers, no buffalo
Soul controller, mos def
Had to let you know
The day has come
Shout out to that number 1, one...
Special dedication, to the sun that keeps rising
The orange moon bouncing joy off our eyelids
Hype like kids saying look what I did
We keep it going 'cause, never can we let it die
We keep it going, you ain′t fly if u live a lie
We keep it going, you ain't fly if u live a lie
Keep it going, you ain′t fly if u live a lie
Beat dungeon on the boards
Help me stay alive
Yeah, I won't apologize for tryna get it right
Had to adjust my sight
My Umi said shine ur light
I′m done with all the hype, saying the black man ain't responsible
More like when they make the rules
You absolutely gonna lose
Paid my dues and now I'm in a place to make some changes
Love your woman, raise ur kids, show ′em all the patience
We gon′ make it like jada and styles
Against all odds
Take a look at me now
Read more, achieve more
Then see more
Then be more
Then dream more
There will always be detours
Ways around it
Ugh, I find it to be absolute
I rediscover who I am, when I'm in the booth
U.g.l.y. p.e.o.p.l.e
Journey with me to a galaxy that′s gotta be
Far away
Aye
Baby we gon make it there
Start today
Hey
Let me make it clear
Togethers dont last forever and never's now
Find a clever gal, and test ur mettle, and settle down
And I followed the formula
I checked the math
Is she lost or Robert frost?
′Cause she left her path
I'm left here grieving, screaming like babies teething
Everything got a season
She leaving?
I′m believing in a better tomorrow
Than a perfect yesterday
Swept away by the mess you say
It's not ok
But hey
I fought the good fight
Lost, paid the cost
Of course a divorce is heavy as Christ cross
Can't take it lightly
Said you don′t like me, just to spite me
It′s not likely
You hate yourself so you fight me
With love headbutts, a rabbit punch to the gut
You still tryna fuck?
Whaddup, can't get enough
I′m a glutton for this shit
Like a marriage massichist
The carriage had to flip
We uneven in this bitch
See the yoke ain't fit
Hope heaven′s joke ain't this
I was devoted with the focus of a coke head sniff
Fuck it, go ′head skip
But the kids can't dip
Fatherhood's my shit
Payment plans won′t fit
But I still can′t quit
Am I pookie or a pussy?
A trapped rat is prone to snap
Nobody push me
I'm closer to the edge than Bono but I′m the guano
Survival penning revolution, truly is the motto
And promises are hollow like my momma's liquor bottle
To last this long, and love lucky as the lotto
I′m sitting here, tryna build hope out the rubble
We both in trouble
Love is like a soap bubble
It's prone to pop
But you can go on and cop
And you ain′t fly if you live a lie?
Tell me how to stop
The soldier role model
For my children to follow
What they watching without option
There gon be a tomorrow
So I suck up the sorrow
Borrow courage like a title loan
Interest heavy
Full house
How am I alone?
This microphone and these beats that I'm murdering
Is how a nigga steal a piece of peace like he burglaring
The day has come
Shout out to that number 1, one...
Special dedication, to the sun that keeps rising
The orange moon bouncing joy off our eyelids
Hype like kids saying look what I did
We keep it going 'cause, never can we let it die
We keep it going, you ain′t fly if u live a lie
We keep it going, you ain′t fly if u live a lie
Keep it going, you ain't fly if u live a lie
Beat dungeon on the boards
Help me stay alive
Help me stay alive
