The Message

Yeah
Yeah
In 1992, right out of the blue
God made a plan, a dream that he renewed
But sh1t, who woulda knew, out the mud, you'd bloom?
The dimmest little light turned the brightest in the room
I remember times when we thought we seen your doom
Lost ones you loved too soon, through life or through a tomb
I remember you and Leno plot inside the room
Up and hang a 40, y'all think big as the moon
You and your boys were smokin' zing before this sh1t was cool
And no, it wasn't easy, you took them scars and grew
Now it's hard to name a place here you haven't flew
11 years old at Frank's crib before he moved
Thought you won't see him no more, he popped up like, "Ooh"
Stole his mama's whip, then rolled back through the hood
That make you miss Benji, gotta know to understood
He gave your name, Stizz, he'd be here if he could
Sometimes you feel the words and can't figure where they're from

I remember when you broke into that new crib down the block
Dumbass little kid, lucky you ain't get caught
Funny how your head hard and riddled with knots
Lessons that you learned will forever be taught
Sticky grew up next to you since we could remember
He got your back, you got his back, so with y'all it's whatever
You ain't have it then, heard the money make it better
It's just you and your fam, y'all put that bread together
Somehow separated when the days felt like Hell
Next time you seen him, he just got out of jail
'Round the same time you was out makin' a sale
We know y'all good kids, but tell me where you failed
Keep your mind focused, though, the real ones will prevail
You ain't done livin', so we ain't finish this tale

Yeah, sometimes you feel the words and can't figure where they're from
