Injury Reserve - Last Vowel lyrics

[Verse 1: Ritchie With a T] They ask me “Hey brotha how u doin” I give the response that your supposed to answer with And thats the- Its never the truth Especially when you a starving artist and these beats is your cancer sticks You got a beat I can dismantle it Manifest with a flow meltin your favorite record on wax like candle stick Whack emcees you know they can't handle it But the honest truth is I can't either Got a bunch of what if questions in my head Like what if me and my father patched up our relationship before he was dead How would things be different What kind of person would I be instead All I got is a bunch a texts I already read And some I never answered to A selfish and angry individual who told himself that his hands were full But you know they had a pen and a pad an excuse or two Now all I got is this name I was given by you [Verse 2: Stepa J Groggs] What's in a name, that which we call a rose By any other name would it smell as sweet So you telling me if my mom never adopted my I would of grew up on them Chi-town streets And there would be no Stepa, no J Groggs I never think about this cause it never really hurts you see No animosity to the woman that gave birth to me I ain't mad at you, it actually worked out perfectly Even though I got a big brother that I'll never get to meet or know But I just keep it moving, guess that's what feet are for I should really thank you, life for me has been beautiful And I hope for you the same is true I'm sure giving up a child is the hardest thing to do Just know that I keep you in my prayers too And I'll always be thankful for this name that wasn't given by you [Bridge: Stepa J Groggs] (x2) Heard this beat and I thought of you I heard this beat and I thought of you Heard this beat and I thought of you (oh oh oh oh)
