People be askin' me why I wear that towel on my head, I be tellin' 'em

I wear that towel on my head, I represent the ancestors

When we was field ****

Used to wet the towel and wear it on our head to keep ourselves movin'

Pain and suffering, experienced my whole life

Used to pray to God, but He probably won't reply

Could you send someone to me, if you don't mind?

Stay by my side and stick it out for the long ride

Have you ever needed somebody?

Tired of bein' broke and wanted to be somebody

My heart too genuine, sometimes, feel I wasn't built to love

Victim of this cold world, make it difficult to trust

My heart too genuine, sometimes, feel I wasn't built to love

Victim of this cold world, make it difficult to trust

My mother died when givin' birth to me, they brought her back, immaculate conception

To be absent from the body, then you in the holy presence

All the angels start surroundin' when somebody mention Kevin

Guess it can't be no coincidences that it rhyme with heaven

Everybody hated me, black sheep, narcotic sellin'

Think what you want, every time I go to jail, I ain't do no tellin'

Grandmother put her arms around me, told me, "Be more careful"

Used to feel like I was cursed, I know my worth now, I know better

I sit high, but I look low and all of mine gon' be protected

Could you do me a little favor if you listenin' to this message?

Don't you ever let nobody tell you you ain't no blessing

Don't you ever let nobody tell you you ain't special

Don't you ever let nobody tell you you ain't special

I say don't you ever let nobody tell you you ain't special

Pain and suffering, experienced my whole life

Used to pray to God, but He probably won't reply

Could you send someone to me if you don't mind?

Stay by my side and stick it out for the long ride

Have you ever needed somebody?

Tired of bein' broke and wanted to be somebody

My heart too genuine, sometimes, feel I wasn't built to love

Victim of this cold world, make it difficult to trust

Wrote to Hillar Moore, but I guess he ain't get the letter (I did)

System got Lee Lucas wrong, he been gone since I was eleven

Every lawyer say he comin' home, it get so depressin'

Meanwhile, the family stressin', tryin' to put it back together

Jeff Perry children grown now and steady askin' questions

And they look at me for answers and I don't know what to tell 'em

Kai look so much like Mazi, can't be 'round me for a second

Told her mom, "You ever need me, bump the line and I'ma Zelle you"

Better know I spread my wings, you surrounded by them steppers

You better know I'm a big eagle if you listenin' to this message

Don't you ever let nobody tell you you ain't no blessing

Don't you ever let nobody tell you you ain't special

Pain and suffering, experienced my whole life

Used to pray to God, but He probably won't reply

Could you send someone to me if you don't mind?

Stay by my side and stick it out for the long ride

Have you ever needed somebody?

Tired of bein' broke and wanted to be somebody

My heart too genuine, sometimes, feel I wasn't built to love

Victim of this cold world, make it difficult to trust

My heart too genuine, sometimes, feel I wasn't built to love

Victim of this cold world, make it difficult to trust

Built to love

Make it difficult to trust
