[Speech: Will Smith]
Don't ever let somebody tell you
You can't do something
Not even me
All right?
You got a dream?
You gotta protect it
People can't do something themselves, they want to tell you you can't do it
You want something?
Go get it!
Period!
[Verse 1: Maliq Faber]
I been dreaming of a life where I don't have to cry
I been dreaming of a life where we don't have to die
I been dreaming of a life where in the afterlife
I'll look into my mothers eyes and tell her she don't have to lie
But what if I had made it to support her
She wouldn't have to love a man who scared her son and daughter
She wouldn't have to hide her tears and blame it on the water
She wouldn't have forgotten us my voice felt so distorted
I started slanging dope turned that sh** into some coke
I would have a little sniff just so I could f**ing cope
From the things I seen at home why the f** we feel alone
Why the f** I always find myself staring at a rope
This the realist sh** I ever wrote mumma why you let me go
Why choose a man over me mumma let me know
Don't you dare stop this mumma go and let me flow
Does it hurt when I say your name mumma let me show
You the pain that I gained when I lost a mother aye
God gave me another one I've never felt so f**ing great
She don't make me feel the way that you said that mother does
I hope this hurts deep but she the only one with mothers love
Mother's Day just pa**ed and I just gave her a card
She didn't make me feel like sh** cause I can't buy her a car
She didn't make me feel like sh** cause I can't fly to her mars
She didn't make me feel like sh** now I'm spitting these bars
Tell me why it feels like god ain't there
And if he there why the f** does he got me here
And why the f** do I sin let me make it clear
I been praying for your help for nearly 13 years
[Hook: Maliq Faber]
I been dreaming of a life where I don't have to cry
I been dreaming of a life where we don't have to die
I been dreaming of a life where in the afterlife
I'll look into my mothers eyes and tell her she don't have to lie
I been dreaming of a life where I don't have to cry
I been dreaming of a life where we don't have to die
I been dreaming of a life where in the afterlife
I'll look into my mothers eyes and tell her she don't have to lie
[Verse 2: Maliq Faber]
Lately all I write about is you
So if I really didn't care then how the f** can that be true?
How the f** you keep on stopping me from dreams that I pursue
Every time I start to win mum I feel like I'm gon' lose
And I feel like it's on you yeah I'll blame you till my d**h
Cause you taught me how to hate and that hate will get respect
Never taught me how to love never taught me what comes next
Only taught me to give up and just settle for the less
And I hate you, the same way that you hated your mum
You say you mad cause she abandoned you when you were young?
Ironic cause you did the same sh** to your sons
And now expect us to forgive you and forget what was done
Forget what's done when you drunk, you left us home for the clubs
And alcohol looked so fun so I was turning to d**
Started hanging out with people 18 and above
And we were hanging out with girls but you done scared me of love
I'll never love you again, I'll never be just your friend
I hope you think about my face when you kissing his hand
I hope you think about my age when you call him a man
I hope you think about the days I was your number 1 fan
But.. I just needed that up off my chest
I would go and forgive you if you had any regrets
I would go and forgive him if he had any respect
But from now on you a stranger nothing more nothing less
Yes...
