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
