Bun B - Role Model lyrics

[Verse 1 – Eric Biddines] Yesterday was a moment that came soon I expect to be a blessing, what other way should I prove That we don't need a picture, develop the focused minds When [?] envision spitting like man that's a cool design Smoking on stone, barefooted, no food [?] clean water flowing for drinking, [?] think of shoes Was you dreaming its on, you know what song When you're shot you came home, and the [?] alone Got a call from a place that you can't reach with a phone This summation's for the people in the form of a song Strong bones built walls like a concrete tower Rained ponytails, fell from the clouds like showers Broken soul, need a healing, when you're hoping for change I just notice if you're thinking that's a moment of power This an elevator, step into the proper direction I'm the perfect [?] who listen, I'm projecting perception [Hook – Eric Biddines & Amber Monique][x2] Y'all don't know that I don't want no problems Trying to provide me a role model I done turned a penny to a whole dollar Mission [?] hoping I'm on full throttle [Verse 2 – Bun B] Waking up in the cold world with no heat BSB, bop it up and down your street The world we live in is crooked and corrupt So we got to let the next generation know what's up We got to give em the game they need to survive Make sure they don't just exist, but that they thrive Staying alive, know on days it ain't a given Got to be aware of the surroundings that you live in It don't matter who you are or what you're repping There's some b**by traps laid so watch where you're stepping See they don't really want us to win, well they really didn't even want to let us in But keep on striving and keep on hoping Won't be long before the doors is opened You can break out of the crazy hood that you left it Wise words from the OG and EFN, baby [Hook][x2] [Verse 3 – Jarren Benton] Tryna be a role model, so many issues, I down the whole bottle Used to feel inadequate, f** it, didn't want to see tomorrow n***as put too much hope in the rock Kids grow up fatherless, their mama smoking on rocks Where the role models when we out strolling these blocks Ain't no rocket scientists, no lawyers or docs Crackheads, dope boys, single mothers, and cops They fear for their life, can't cherish any moment they got That's the mind of a young soldier in these lost communities His 13th eulogy, where is the opportunities? Ain't no young dreamers, the reality's a nightmare We b**h over policies, kids deserve the right care f** the crooked office of politicians and [?] Waiting on some leader to reach us, n***a please Seen some dark clouds, the sky forever blue Dream big young kings, the role model is you [Hook][x2]
