Song was written in 2012 shortly after Chicago rappers kept getting locked up or dieing in the streets. I wanted to reach out to someone else who feels like I do about IT'S TIME to make music that's pleasing to The Most High Yah and not this unsatisfied world to spark a change in all Yahs children of all ages
Lyrics
Chorus:
It's time for me to love myself
If I don't then know one else
I look to the sky, cause I been through hell
I want let him hold me back
Want let him hold me back
Devil will not hold me back
Want let me let me let me
Verse:
Be the 1st to say
No to these drugs for once
After I've smoked a blunt
Now look what I have done
Nothing I sat on the couch
Stretch got back in the bed
Still at my parent's house
Can't get it through my head
This ain't the way to be living
Why am I so depressed
With this gift I been given
It's obvious I am blessed
Spit everything I've written
Somehow I'll find success
I got two little children
That needs me to try my best
To rap out my stress
And get out this mess
Everyone and they mothers and father's
Rap now I guess
The chances for making it
in this worlds Much harder for me
But I had a little boy and a girl
at home starving
During those times I didn't result
To armed robberies
My conscience drilled me like
The Navy Airforce Marines
I'm to old to join the Army
and Be all I can Be
But I'll let this Country
Lift every voice for me and sing
2cd Chorus:
It's time for me to love myself
(Life is hard)
If I don't then know one else
(OH my Yah)
I look to the sky, cause I been through hell
(Singing loud)
I want let him hold me back
Want let him hold me back
Devil will not hold me back
Want let me let me let me
Bridge
Sing my song
As good as it feels
It helps me deal with this hard knocked life
I gotta Sing my song
I'll make I will
My kids tell me pops you're tight
I gotta Sing my song
Like I'm thankful that Yah
Made me be so hot like
He know I gotta Sing my song
He makes me feel like a star
Whenever I'm in the spotlight
Me know
Repeat 2cd Chorus:
Verse:
Let me try to chase my dreams
Yah I must get mines
Seems like I'm tired
You're running late
But you're just on time
With a 9-5
But it sucks that I'm
In my 50's getting older
And still bustin my behind
Imma use my mind
People usually grind
I'm no longer hustling getting quick bucks
From a couple of dimes
I love that I'm
Not cussing every line
Shows I'm a leader to the
New schools when I bust a rhymes
I refuse to whewHaaaa
My dude snapped
A lot of us these kids
Only remember to make it clap
What is the use if USA every day's Iraq
Man I hate this crap
Cause the blaming rap
Up to the youth to see the truth
Past all of that
Just face the facts
We can't take it back
I can't wait for that
Day I make a choice to bring it
Straight from my heart
Lift every voice in me and sing
Repeat 2cd Chorus
The end
