[00:11.00]I got something I wanna tell you
[00:16.60]I got something I wanna tell you
[00:22.00]Yeah
[00:22.40]Dust off the old notebook where a younger Jermaine Lamarr wrote hooks
[00:25.90]To get a glimpse of what his hopes looked like back in his younger years
[00:29.30]And found a page stained with what seems to be a hundred tears
[00:32.50]As the smeared words spoke of his blunted fears
[00:34.90]Tellin' him, "Persevere through it all
[00:36.90]Go hard, like Medusa in front of mirrors
[00:39.00]To reach the top," so unaware that the troublе's there
[00:41.70]We'rе nothing more than a worser version of troubles, where
[00:44.50]He sat when he wrote, he's performin' hocus-pocus
[00:47.40]With empty pocket, focus over some dope lil' beat he made his self
[00:50.30]All the pain in his cadence felt
[00:51.90]And though his heart was made of felt, his exterior hardened
[00:55.10]To present a demeanor in which this period taught him
[00:57.90]Was the best for survival, to deflect the most aggressive of rivals
[01:01.30]A testament to the lessons I follow, seen the death of bravado
[01:05.00]The second weapons hit his chest with a hollow
[01:06.90]Pride is a bitter pill indeed, but it's best if you swallow
[01:09.60]If not, your homies gon' pay respect with a bottle
[01:12.20]Poured out onto the flesh of this Mother Earth
[01:14.20]While liquor slithers like a serpent across the mud and dirt to go rest in a pothole
[01:18.10]Money comin' soon, back then, was obsessed with the motto
[01:20.90]Me and my dogs was like the Musketeers
[01:23.20]Through the years, we stayed connected, to this day, we still steppin' legato
[01:26.80]Subconscious detectin' these niggas, think I'm lesser for my complexion
[01:29.50]Before I'm done, they all gon' respect the mulatto (Hey)
[01:32.00]Yeah, I said they all gon' respect the mulatto (Oh, I)
[01:40.30]I got something I wanna tell you
[01:43.20]Dreams can come true, you'll get yours too
[01:49.40]But it won't save (Yeah)
[01:51.60]I got something I wan' tell you (I got something I wanna tell you)
[01:55.10]Dreams can come true (Oh-oh), you'll get yours too
[02:00.50]But it won't save
[02:03.00]Me and you
[02:04.10]Your mama and your cousin too
[02:07.10]Rolling through the Ville on Vogues (Vogues)
[02:10.20]Comin' up, slamming Cadillac doors (Yeah)
[02:13.10]Me and you (Hey)
[02:15.50]Your mama and your cousin too
[02:18.60]Rolling through the Ville on Vogues (Vogues)
[02:21.30]Comin' up, slamming Cadillac doors (Comin', comin' up)
[02:25.30]My darkest truths be hard to say to friends
[02:27.20]Fuck it, pass the bottle, we're swallowing hopes that can wash away the sins
[02:30.70]Grew up amongst the lost and wasn't taught a way to win
[02:33.30]On days I think of James, my hardened heart, it breaks again
[02:36.20]He caught the fade but pussy niggas caught him later, then
[02:38.90]Medics performed a CPR, and hauled away his limbs
[02:41.70]It always haunted me inside my thoughts and made 'em grim
[02:44.50]His father knew my father way back when
[02:46.60]Army buddies that used to party hard
[02:48.70]Overseas, but through the alcohol, the weed and plus the hardy- har's, they made him kin
[02:53.00]Who knew their future kids would have to find a way to swim
[02:55.70]In the wild, with crocodile and alligator skins?
[02:58.50]They took a good nigga, smart kid who could hoop, who could fight
[03:02.20]Instead, I wish the Lord had taken t...........
