[Verse: Chakkra Tara]
Thank you very much
Thankyou for all you living
Thankyou for the times that we've had and all that youve given
Tonight we honor the most high and forget about why
And forget about all they lies and reminisce on the good times
Used to watch good times martin and moesha and friends
The fresh prince my wife and kids family matters
Couldn't pretend as if this wasn't life never struggled at night
Moma stepped on a couple toes just to get me right
I know some things about my family i never liked
I've caught some statements made I ain't wanna hear bout me right
The reason why I'm by myself, and never up on the site
Living life up on a bike and riding towards the heights
Tell me what can I do tell me what can I do I can't go back in the
Past and repair everything for you, I was that same cousin
That told you that I would make it and now I'm that same cousin
Who sees a call and don't take it cause u weren't there for me
No u ain't raise me right? No u ain't raise me right, all I could recollect
Was your shade you threw in my light, do u remember me, do yall remember me
Yall say you know me but u still stuck on the older me
I've grown up so much more, now I'm a man u see, my father told me don't rush it
Now im in university, I choose what I believe, this is what I perceive
Everyone's story different, is this what yall came to see, a young black king
With his a crown so high that it touches the sky
But the sky has no ending the limit is mine, ill tell you what I find
But at a point, I gotta come back down to earth, its crazy cause brothas
My age are being put in the dirt, its crazy cause brothas my age
Tell black girls they have no worth, its crazy cause brothas
My age would rather not do the work, open your mind they never said good company wouldn't hurt
But we gotta be twice as good just get half of what they got
Crazy cause brothas are k**ing brothas over high tops
Crazy cause brothas will lose they mind and k** u on spot
All cause they like yo chain,all cause they want your life
Crazy how even my people would rather see me die
[Hook: Kadeem Tyrell]
This must be forever
This must be forever
Have more than you show
Speak less than you know
Watch the times get better
Watch how people change forever
Watch how you change forever
Watch how you change forever
Watch how people change Forever
This must be forever
Oh it must be forever
Have more than you show
Speak less than you know
Watch the times get better
Watch how people change forever
You're In Good Company Forever
This must be forever
This must be forever
This must be forever
[Verse: Chakkra Tara]
Brothas try to teach you bout how to control your life why would I place myself
In a position, to listen to someone who only likes me for what I give em
Cause when I can't give it right away man they always come up missing
Crazy how brothas is flexing but won't feed they children, what type of life we living
What advice can I give em, I always wonder if I could fill in what yall are missing
You ever think about, a girl who denies herself
You ever think about women who can supply themselves, I've noticed a pattern
Women without daddy in they life, calling me daddy now I carry a shine that aligns in my mind as crime
Because her childhood wasn't fulfilled in due time, I wish. It wasn't always like that
But trust me there are really good fathers out there who raised up a queen
You would've thought she'd be a peasant under society's wing, but she ahead of her cla**
A southern bell, with a whole lot of a**, but when u she give you conversation
The physical doesn't match, you would think she'd be stuck up and spiteful, selfish as hell
But she blessed and highly favored, fearfully and wonderfully a thought ingrained in her well
She said as long as she listens to god all will go well
As long as she focused on God shell have stories to tell
They say chakkra why you put so much emotion inside yourself let it breathe
Yall gotta understand this is me,, and know that I'm in perfect like anybody you see
Cause I bleed the blood of the lamb and I'm insecure like a man and I'm pure as the lord our savior
But no one will understand so they'll write me off as a rapper who never made his demand but
The plan was never bout me its been bout the people whose lives need a change within their command
Love is Jesus that's what the virgin say, mother Mary I think we have an emergency
Black milk within a colorful skit
The dreams are worth more than the money I got company kid
This 9 years and running, 9 years and running
Do you hear me lord god, do you hear how this is stunning
This is all I wanted, this is all I wanted But I'm glad that
This over I'm glad you see that i'm honest
One time
