Yearnin'

I got this tat on my wrist
It say Lucy
I got it the day my aunt
Passed away
October 28, 2011

But see my great great Grandmother name was
Lucy and she had a daughter Named Lucy and she also had my Great grandmother Sallie and Sallie had a daughter named Lucy
See its deeper then ppl think Man. This go generations

Wake up in the morning and
I thank God
Gotta rise and grind
Gotta punch the clock
I been getting blessed I thank the Man above
Having mercy on me spreading his love

I been going through it
But I'm holding on
If God put me on hold on
Ima hold on

Holding onto memories
Of my past life
Like God I know I had
To do something right

Always keep it pushing
That what's mama told me
I gotta couple regrets
But that's another story

Holding onto to Christ
That's what keep me going
And ima praise his name
Ima give him glory

All my fears gone
I don't got no worries
Don't worry bout me
When I'm dead and buried

Wish my mama
Could've seen her boy
Get married
My aunt seen 107
Shoutout Aunt Mary

I got some family on the East.
That I dont i know
You gotta get the money
Keep yo family close

What goes around
Comes around
Revolving doe

In the church on
Sunday hearing
The preacher preach
At the alter praying
Down On bending knees

Praying for the world
Praying for world peace

What if General never met Lucy
What if Keeble never met Sallie
What if Charles Wyatt
Never met Ruby
What if Desmond never
Met Carolyn

For all of them is the
Reason that I'm standing
They all gave me life
Man Wat a blessing

I Stay prayed up
I feel my My Soul cleansing
And I'm feeling fresh
Like some clean dishes

I'm 30 years old
I ain't a spring chicken
Missing the aroma
Of my mama chicken

When she passed away
I seen who really with me
Slowed down on the drinks
I'm trying save my kidneys

And when my kids get grown
They still gone need me
I wanna see my
Great grandkids make it

It all start with me
I gotta save this paper
With God on my side
We goin see them blessings

I'm trying to leave mills
To Dontae' & Tae'Ja
That's my bloodline
Nothing can change it

Shooting at these schools
Man this gotta stop
Our kids in these schools
Do something God

It's time to rise up
No Atlanta Falcon
They blame everything on
Mental illness

We need to come together
Its a better way
We need to teach these kids
How to love to pray

Stairway to heaven
Like the Oj's

Put our heads together
When we share blood
That's how it pose to go
But it never does

The Arabs pass they
Business down to Lil Cuz
That business in the same
Hood we come from

We need to build it up
Not tear it down

Give the youth
Something to look forward to
Instead of selling drugs
Down In middle school

We gotta bring em up
Teach these kids right
We gotta show em
That's its way more to life

We pose 2 produce
Not take life
We here to create
Not take away

Thank the most high
For another day
Thank him for my
Ancestors that paved the way
