Lyrics

One, two
One, two
Check it out
Longshot, Moments
Memo on the beat
All of your love, yeah
Tell you why you still here that I love you
We all got love ones and you know what they say
You don't know what you got till it's gone so
I'm all about letting them know why they still here
This going out to my mama and my grandmother
Check me out, yo
Mama used to teach us you don't get what you don't take
And those that so-called love you are honestly fake
And if it don't make sense then it won't pay the rent
'Cause it don't make dollars, I was still a youngin when we split
At the age of eight with rage and hate for DCFS
I would pray for the best, all us back together again
I was never the kid exploding on mama, causing drama
I always understood it would be all good
Plus she made me a man, I love her for that
Avoid the crack 'cause you know what they say
It break your mama back
Sitting back reminiscing 'bout good times in the distance
I see Corey, Craig, Carl, Clint, even my sister
And we all in a mansion with mama, nicely living
I'm doing my best to bring true life to that vision
Never know what can happen in the hood, **** weird
So let me tell you why you still here that I love you
When our loved ones are gone and we got no one to run to
I bet we miss 'em then, desperate to say I love you
Oh yeah, I'm 'bout to spit this perfectly clear
And tell you how I feel why you still here
When our loved ones are gone and we got no one to run to
I bet we miss 'em then, desperate to say I love you
Oh yeah, I'm 'bout to spit this perfectly clear
And tell you how I feel why you still here
Grandma used to feed us, make us read before we play
A tough love from the past I understand today
I knew I'd grow older and make her proud
Even though I switched my plans and abandoned the graduation route
I must admit that I deserved my whippings
And extension cords right out the bathtub
Tell me, who heard of this shit?
I was young and wild, running wild, skipping on school
Teacher wrote, "Granny told I never followed the rules"
I was a rude, angry, confused youth and I used
What I knew to get us through when the poverty grew
So when I moved to the 'burbs I was too ill at first
And I probably caused the cancer that she would beat too
No, three times a man so with these rhymes I plan
To forever praise and honor your name, Gwendolyn J
O-H-N son, I owe thanks and then some
So let me tell you why you still here
When our loved ones are gone and we got no one to run to
I bet we miss 'em then, desperate to say I love you
Oh yeah, I'm 'bout to spit this perfectly clear
And tell you how I feel why you still here
When our loved ones are gone and we got no one to run to
I bet we miss 'em then, desperate to say I love you
Oh yeah, I'm 'bout to spit this perfectly clear
And tell you how I feel why you still here
Give your mama your love, give your daddy your love
Give your family all of your love, yeah
Give your sister your love, give your brother your love
Give your family all of your love, yeah
Give your mama your love, give your daddy your love
Give your family all of your love, yeah
Give your sister your love, give your brother your love
Give your family...
This third verse is for my younger brothers, I love you
And to my sisters, I miss you, y'all my heart
Ain't no way I could ditch you
Being the eldest and a crazy child
Made me proud to show my siblings the right roads to gravy town
And even though we didn't grow up together
We fought the weather the same way
No game play, just shut up, get better
And they could never really break us up, we closer than kin
Different daddies gave us different shades to all of our skin
And when I think about them days when as a unit we stayed
With minimum food I put on this tune and float away
Hey, Clint if you listening, if nothing else remember this
I love you, we got your back forever, love you
Vicious, when I get it know you got it too
So keep living for your shorty, surely
You, me, and Corey gon' be kicking it
And Carl, let me say you make me smile ear to ear
With your graduation stare, while you here, I love you
