[Prince Ea] Uh, uh uh uh, uh uh.. [Verse] Hey yo ma How you doing, its your son now And I picked up the mic and put the d** down I'm just playing ma, you know I never smoke nothing I never choke, never rolled, never sold nothing It's little Richard, the one who used to bleed through you Up in the kitchen, the same one used to read to you While you was cooking dinner, hard night Trying to get my grades right But Christ I wouldn't listen "Pay attention" is what you used to say (I was doing my own thing) I thought about it today (I was just lonely) See I'm sorry that I couldn't be a better son Or prove to you I was half as smart as Stephen was But I was never dumb It just took me a lil longer to get it ma But now I got it figured out See I'd be lying if I said that I did it without you I would have died, been in jail, or prison without you Don't be surprised, thats the real truth And while I'll always be there to give you Whatever you want... [Hook] Whatever you want! Whatever you need! Whatever you want And whatever you need.. [Verse 2] Verse two I got a girl right And I don't know if I'm in love with her But I can bust a nut and still wanna f** with her Still wanna hug kiss her But she is more than that She got a spirit and I'm digging that See you was there from the beginning We built this whole sh** together Truth be told I would give this sh** up if ever It came down to You or the music Baby, you are my muse And baby you are the movement And the cutest when you on that mattress I lay you on your back, we lock eyes and for the pa**ion Yeah you the realest, and I put this on that rap sh** Cuz when we got into it, you never put it on your status You don't tweet about it We meet up then we speak about it Thats deep stuff homie think about it You keep me up and tell me I'mma make it Remember when we prayed through that whole abortion situation (rest in peace) When life was crazy, yo you always cared And thats the reason I will always be there [Hook] [Verse 3] Too many nights with too little shine Keep it real, what you know about skipping meals for studio time? What you know about heating up the whole crib with that oven, yo? And putting on three sets of clothes when that over broke Untouchable since a little dude Don't get it misconstrued I was like this before the interviews I been spitting j**els way back since middle school When every dude was trying to kiss along Witherspoon I'm 22, but sometimes I feel fifty Cuz what I been through, I look back and feel sh**ty Like, "is this how it'll end up?" Ya'll still with me? Man this pain, yo it builds up It's gonna k** me I'm jut trying to tell ya What it feels like to be held back by the very thing that compels ya To live, and still yo I act so rebellious But on the real yo I feel so helpless Truth is I'm not as ill as I pretend to be Rhymefest said I need invulnerability Black thought showed me the door to the industry And my stupid a** pa**ed on the opportunity, damn! Tarik, I just wanna tell ya If ya hearing this, I'm sorry that I failed ya I'm so sorry that I f**ed up What's f**ed up is I'm scared of success more than failure Real n***as feel it in their soul Fake n***a you will never know, die slow! God told me "Rich," he said "you have to have faith" And I realized with sunshine, you have to have rain To balance out the good, you have to have pain So many women that I've been with, one of them had to have AIDS I'm just saying It's so true how this game seems Women used to yell "boo", now they say the same thing (hey boo!) I guess its how you frame things in the context The great king on his conquest To hit the mainstream like a bomb threat And then blow it up The real Gs they gonna pour it up And the nerds already know whats up When they see this geek make it Raise your calculators, yeah hold em up! [Hook]
