I just decided to throw it out in the world before the re-mastered version goes on my mom's upcomming album
Lyrics
Ever since I was young brotha...knuckle-head dumb sucka...
I had sense...notice that's the past tense...
used to think life...was all about fam...and still do...
guess it's because...I got love from a...
woman that's been there...thru the good and the bad...
from the time I opened my eyes...to producing a man...
a goddess of all trades...stronger than locamotives...
beautiful mind...wisdom beyond age...
got a smile that'll melt ice...and a scowl that'll boil it...
if you wanna slick talk...put your mouth in the toilet...
never disrespect this queen...ever...
can't even count how many times my triflin behind seen leather...
I know today I'm still a pain in the assets...
but I'm greatful...your unwavering patience has lasted...
through the trials and tribulations we've had...
God gave us his hand...and I feel Ilke we can make it at last...
:hook:
through the trials and tribulations we've had...
God gave us his hand...and I feel Ilke we can make it at last...
dealing with hands...that didn't always fall in our favor...
but strong as your faith is...
I knew in my heart we can make it...
January 4th '83 on a Tuesday...guess who came...
your girl delivered a child...
I was given her smile...and a wisdom profound...
for the spirit within...mirrored you proud...
with the foundation u helped me build...
and the focused path u helped me live...
u knew me when no-one could...
held my hand...walking with me...were no-one stood...
wasn't afraid to tell me the truth...
put me in positions that helped in excelling my youth...
for some reason I still feel indebted to you...
so I'm doing my best to persue...
any dreams or aspirations I have for my future...
taking the good with the bad like I usta...
so I can learn from the lesson...observe the progression...
of a man...that emerged from your essence...
To whom it may concern...thank you for blessing me...
with the 2 of the most beautiful women...
on the face of Earth...
from my date of birth...to this very moment in time...
everytime I open my eyes...-it's like...
I get choked up saying the words...
even tho I can't findem...to describe them...
its like a sunrise...facing horizons...
haha...you can't see my face but I'm smiling...
for all the memories...
cause of them...the heart within me beats...
never too far from love's arm...we're all within it's reach...
this is just me expressing the feelings I have...
dealing with hands...that didn't always fall in our favor...
but strong as your faith is...
I knew in my heart we can make it...
-and we did...
