Clearest

I'm writing rhymes on the wake up
That's when my mind clearest
No outside distraction
Just one on one with my spirit
If it don't include some commas
Then I can't afford to hear it
Before I kill a nigga
Put that nigga in my prayers
Told moms last week
Ima take you over seas
Her oldest son home now
Her soul is at ease
Me and bro thick as thieves
Though we don't talk everyday
I know his family good
And he staying out the way
I used to have to scrape the bag
Now I'm picking thru the P
Got piles of shit that I ain't wore
Still at the mall every week
Yea and rap saved my life
When I was risking it for cheap
It gave a voice to this young man
And I barely used to speak
RIP to Dilla never got a chance to grab a beat
This retrograde consume us
Like it's magnets on our feet
To the bullshit youngin ain't wanna murder
It's that leak
Somebody gotta make this table though
So they can have a seat
Grab a seat

Lean on me lean on me yea go head lean on me
I can't replace ya pops
But I can give you this for free
Man the world ain't against you
But it damn sure ain't with you
All this shit that I done been through
I blame it on me
Lean on me lean on me yea go head lean on me
If they giving good advice
Then them the ones you need to keep
In ya circle them others ones hurtful
Full of deceit
You got a lot going for you
Even though you can not see it
Lean on me

I know you angry
I know you hungry
That mean you hangry
Here take this money
Go grab you something
Then come back to me
I learned you can think a lot better
On a full tummy
How you been lately
Heard you made a B on ya term paper
It's a good feeling ain't it
All the countless hours all the effort
Just reciprocated
Shit you used to hardly go to school
From lack of motivation
I ain't tryna coach just showing approaches
From a different angle
Showing you the ropes in hope
You figure out how to string em
Teach a man to fish
And you just helped a whole generation
You and your buddies crafty
A little guidance now y'all innovating
Getting all the girls
Because y'all thorough and y'all authenticated

Lean on me lean on me yea go head lean on me
I can't replace ya pops
But I can give you this for free
Man the world ain't against you
But it damn sure ain't with you
All this shit that I done been through
I blame it on me
Lean on me lean on me yea go head lean on me
If they giving good advice
Then them the ones you need to keep
In ya circle them others ones hurtful
Full of deceit
You got a lot going for you
Even though you can not see it
Lean on me
