I get down for my grandfather who took my mommaMade her sit in that seat where white folks ain't want us to eatAt the tender age of 6 she was arrested for the sit inAnd with that in my blood I was born to be differentNow niggaz can't make it to ballads to choose leadershipBut we can make it to Jacob's and to the dealershipSwear I hear new music and I just don't be feelin' itRacisms still alive, they just be concealin' itBut I know they don't want me in the damn clubThey even make me show I.D to get inside of Sam's clubI done did dirt and went to church and get my hands scrubbedSwear I've been baptized each 3 or 4 timesBut in the land where niggas praise Yukons and getting paidIts goin' take a lot more than coupons to get us savedLike it take a lot more than durags to get you wavesNothing sad as that day my girl's father past awaySo I promised to Mr. Rany I'm gonna marry your daughterAnd you know I gotta thank you for the way that she was brought upAnd I know that you were smiling when you see the car I bought herYou sent tears from heaven when you seen my car get balled upBut I can't complain what the accident did to my left eye'cause look what an accident did to Left EyeFirst Aaliyah, now Romeo must dieI know I got angels watchin' me from the other side

We are all here for a reason on a particular pathYou don't need a curriculum to know that you're apart of the mathCats think I'm delirious but I'm so damn seriousThat's why I expose my soul to the globe; the worldI'm tryin' to make it better for these little boys and girlsI'm not just another individualMy spirit is a part of this that's why it's spiritualBut I get my hymns from himSo it's not me it's he that's lyricalI'm not a miracle, I'm a heaven sent instrumentMy rhythmatic regiment navigates melodic notesFor your soul and your mentalThat's why I'm instrumental, vibrations is what I'm intoYeah I need my loot by rent dayBut that ain't what gives me the heart of Kunta KinteI'm tryin' to give us us free like SinkeI can't stop, that's why I'm hotDetermination, dedication, motivationI'm talking to you of my many inspirationsWhen I say I can't let you or self downIf I were on the highest cliff, on the highest riffAnd if you slipped off the side and clinched on to your lifeIn my grip I would never ever let you downAnd when these words are foundLet it be known that God's penmanship has been signedWith a language called loveThat's why my breath is felt by the deathAnd while my words are heard and confined to the ears of the blindI too dream in color and in rhymeSo I guess I'm one of a kind in a full houseCause whenever I open my heart, my soul or my mouthA touch of god reigns out
When it comes to being true, at least true to meOne thing I found, one thing I foundOh no you never let me downGet up, I getGet up, I getGet up, I getGet up, I getGet up, I getGet up, I get down
