I Love (Mimi, Moms, Kev)

I love (You) I love I love Picked me up when I was at my lowest Used to hardly could spell, now I'm held with the poets That was all your doin' Was filthy, you built me when I was all ruin How you soaked me with compliments really helped out Boasted all confidence in my self-doubt Was dyin' from my thirst, you was clearly a well It eventually made me empty, I was merely a shell None observed, but was on the verge of crackin' 'Til you said I had a gift when you heard me rappin' With your warm responses, I was taken aback Former partners had me feelin' like what I was makin' was wack Didn't offend me, saw somethin' in me I was blind to Who knew to finish findin' me, I had to find you? To close the thought, your support was life-savin' Now death is minor, 'cause you got me livin' life major I stayed forever, you make me better I love I love Since birth, when hurt and sick, only person I see Could write a play about strength on how you work in a week Wanted to give you the world, I saw you here strugglin' All praise to the Father, I had you here motherin' Sorry for the times I was bellin' in my teens But you know I had felon in my genes Was bad man in badlands, chasin' desire From viewin' what you went through, I learned grace under fire Sayin' you proud of me, the sweetest words ever Purest soul I know, moms, you deserve better Whatever ailments, you nursed me back to health Defend me even when the enemy's in fact myself Showed me love when all I seen was hate Said I was special, to impress you, wanted to be seen as great This my kiss and thank you for the unconditional And though I may not see you as much, I'm always missin' you Sacrifice was our facts of life I love I love Held me down when I needed it most Whether shoulder to cry on, or I needed the toast And would never let me go it alone Everybody called it the slum, but we know it as home From where we from, we supposed to be thug Both shared a different dream, we was closer than blood Learned from you how to pour my heart in a song Way ahead of your time, was just hard to get on Ain't gon' lie, just wanted to buy houses for the fam' Move 'em out the hood, give 'em thousands and some land Them night sessions of eternal life lessons That I still use today when I'm uptight, stressin' Always said we was veteran survivors And even though you passed, you'll forever be the livest Was an honor to see you shine, I was blessed, son 'Cause in the end, as far as friends, you was the best one Gave so much and behaved so clutch, I love I love I love I love What we have so much more than they see Health, prosperity, life to you
