Jason's Lyric (feat. Michael Jahlil)
Man
It's crazy when I think about it
Couple years ago, I was tryna put this off as long as I possibly could
But I knew as a young boy
I wanted this experience
I just never thought it'd be as fun as it is, ya know
Check
Our little healer... welcome to the world
Although some people thought that you would be a girl
And if you were, I would've loved you just the same
But I'm glad I got somebody who will work to keep the fame
Cause the Gs in your name ain't for goblin or gremlin
There's meaning to your name, you are Godly and gifted
A helper, a harbinger that God truly saves
And for you to make it here beyond circumstance is brave
You're the rave that so many people prayed for
One of the reasons me and Mom are in this game for
And I don't know who you'll become, but you're primed to be great
Spoke life into your bones before your eyes were awake
To think about you following my steps is kinda ill
When the world becomes an oven, you're the coolest kind of chill
It's real, you're more than just a lyric that I write
You're a spirit full of fight, you're our miracle of life
Took a little time for you to get here
So please, won't you stay a while
So I can marvel at the way you grow
Thank God how He made you smile
Gonna teach you how to be a man
Have fun and let you be a boy
With every part of my spirit
You're my heart, you're my lyric, you're my joy
You should've had a sister or a brother
Who very well could've made a difference and discover
Some necessary cures, maybe even be a poet
But I had 'em wearing cotton, taking trips to the Potomac
It's code for the cold and I know it
But Poppa gave his soul to them rollers and I wasn't tryna blow it
Of bringing him or her into a home that wasn't focused
On the bigger goal of fitting into roles and devoting
All your love... not to mention I was frightened
Between your Pop-Pop and I, there'd be too much a likeness
And for whatever reason, either speeches getting heated
Or cheating, my inner fears were leaning on me leaving
But the home that you entered, departure's not a choice
And how can it be when love is emanating from your voice
My boy, you're more than just a lyric that I write
You're a spirit full of fight, you're our miracle of life
Took a little time for you to get here
So please, won't you stay a while
So I can marvel at the way you grow
Thank God how He made you smile
Gonna teach you how to be a man
Have fun and let you be a boy
With every part of my spirit
You're my heart, you're my lyric, you're my joy
I often thought (what you think) when I'd hear about you coming
I'd get a noose's worth full of knots in my stomach
Look up like, "Come on, You really think I'm able
I barely keep enough for me and Beeb on the table
And Lord, I ain't perfect, how can I be a model
I'm scared I'll either be too hard on him or I'll coddle
Try to get him from the bottle to the spoon rather soon
Potty train him all wrong and his confidence is doomed
And what about my music? Am I selling my equipment
I'll rarely have the time when he's crawling 'round and limping
I don't wanna resent him, he never asked to be
Then He said, "Joe, whatever passes Me has to be
Please believe... I wouldn't take you through the stressing
If I didn't have a solid plan to take you to the blessing
I chose you to father him, and though you didn't father them
I molded you a certain way so you could potter him
So Jay, if I come across like a Derringer
Shooting through your spirit, it's completely out of character
'Cause as much as you're in training, so am I
And neither one of us succeeds if your leader doesn't try
I'll mess up for sure, I'll screw up for certain
But I'll bear the brunt of pain if it means you're rarely hurting
You're worth it, you're more than just a lyric that I write
You're a spirit full of fight, you're our miracle of life, for life
Took a little time for you to get here
So please, won't you stay a while
So I can marvel at the way you grow
Thank God how He made you smile
Gonna teach you how to be a man
Have fun and let you be a boy
With every part of my spirit
You're my heart, you're my lyric, you're my joy
You're my joy
You're my joy
Yeah
Every part of my lyric, you're my joy
