U Gotta Love It (Freestyle)
[Intro]
Hey....
Hey.....(laughs)..ay...
(come on)...8-0-tre in the building baby....
[Verse]
I remember when I was looking back on my life and feeling that it was in shambles
Feeling as if life was a challenge that I just couldn't handle
No matter how many times a brother tried
Felt as if inside that a brother was remaining in a state where he was living physically but he spiritually died
And sometimes I always wondered inside why
Did it seem that as if no matter how many times
That I was always known to be real and be genuine
Forever whatever reason people with me continually kept on tripping
And flipping my lyrics, flipping my words
Making it seem that them I wanted to hurt
And try to discourage others but only I want to uplift you
Encourage you
No matter what it is that you dealing with
Your true emotions please on the real don't be concealing 'em
Let it out and let 'em fly
Let the world know how it is on the real you really be feeling inside
And if you be feeling as if, you trusted in God and He let you down
Well pimpin' listen to this go 'head and let him know how you feel
But make sure you do it in a sense of respect, don't be cussin and doing blasphemous things
Cause you don't really want to be living in a blasphemous way
All I'm trying to say, is you need to keep Him on your team
And I know you prolly be feeling as if there is no h-o-p-e
To continually be having cause any hope that you ever had
And ever did imagine is all gone
Cause it seems that life done treated you and dealt you a hand that's so cold and so dirty now
Got you feeling as if whatever words of encouragement
That somebody ever tried to be giving you was nothing but that run around
And had you feeling as if you was really wishing there was some gun around
So you could get it click it and load it up and pop it
Put it up to your brain man, let it go bang bang man and pop
And your body be dropping 6 feet deep in the ground
Nobody knowing now
What ill pain you did feel
Ain't nobody understanding why it is that he took his life pimp
Some people thinking, aw, he must've been growing up kinda bad
Must've been one of them kids who had a very bad dad
Or bad mama
Whatever the problem
They prolly thinking different things that have nothing to do with your constant aggravation inside
Especially if you a man, trying to get some grands in your hand right now
Cause when you look in your child's eyes you like, aw
I want to feed my son feed my daughter
Whatever the situation it don't matter the fact still remains partner
You feeling as if you lesser than a man
Cause you got lesser than a grand in your hand
And isn't to be stuntin' and frontin' on other brothers, but simply to show
Your son and your daughter, how it's really supposed to go
Cause you don't want 'em to be living the life you used to have
And sometimes you look in their eyes you feeling as if they thinking in their mind, man
This is what means, you is my dad (my dad, my dad) ay....
[Outro]
You know, you know, you know
You know, you know, you know (hey)
You know, you know, you know (hey)
Hey....
