Dom Kennedy - It Was Beautiful lyrics

Yeah I just need a minute of your time (just a minute of your time) Can I please have a minute of your time? Yeah Get a minute of your time Ever since we was 12 I've been wanting you to hold You never was around when I wanted you to roll Now I see you once, if I'm lucky couple months I be with this music and you always coupled up Duffled up or backpacked, the show must continue I got a couple beats right now I want to send you I got a empty heart right now I want to lend you But love don't buy sh** so right now I love this pencil When the mic I record with, nights I get bored with So I be tryna write some sh** that I can hit the stores with Spit it a cappella and have a n***a on some floor sh** So you can see me at a Laker game on some floor sh** I wanna explore her, that's some ford sh** These hoes don't pay attention cause they probably can't afford it Haha But I told you she was beautiful I told you she was beautiful And now it's like 2 and I'm tryna make good Them promises I made that I was gon get us out the hood Never come back, probably get us out for good If this was '94, I'd probably give this out to Suge Like yeah n***a I'm on, posing like I made it I had a couple cuts but them n***as wouldn't fade it So I kept writing, booked time and I laid it Now I couldn't tell you all the girls that I done laid with Man I couldn't tell you all the places that I played in sh** I couldn't tell you all the places that I stayed in Clothes that you rap about, sh** that I stayed in You n***as get love but that's the sh** that I was made in Well, they told me I was beautiful I told you I was beautiful I told you I was beautiful I told you I was beautiful Like Stevie on the keys, Isley on the string Every time I see it, it reminds me of them things Every time I see you it reminds me of my dreams Everything is fine, hope I find you when I leave Just because I style they think I ain't broken And just because I smile, they be thinking I be jokin I pa** on the blunt and n***as think that I be smokin Bust my A's hat and people think that I'm from Oakland But I'm just athletic, just as ready And when I say you fine I'm talking just aesthetics Cause it's kinda a façade, you steady goin out Chest be poking out, when you know you got a job And you barely got benefits, talking what you finna get It's all cool now but I want you to remember this Matter fact don't remember sh** Especially old girl that you caught me out at dinner with Sin a bit- pray more, thank you for this day Lord I only answer to you so I shouldn't have to say more Uh And I told you life was beautiful I told you it was beautiful I told you it was beautiful I told you it was beautiful I told you it was beautiful I told you it was beautiful As women on the stretch pole Why we so disrespectful? Why Jesus resurrect for? Some things you never get told How beautiful this sound be I'm just happy that it found me Karma comes around, n***as I'm just glad I'm already down with her This from my side of town with it That rest in peace James Brown with it But I don't wanna get to loud with it I just hope I make you proud with it And I told you we was beautiful (J. Sk**z) I told you we was beautiful (Yeah) I told you we was beautiful I told you we was beautiful (Look at us now) I told you we was beautiful I told you we was beautiful (Haha, second time around) I told you we was beautiful (Do work) I told you we was beautiful
