Thank you to all the Women in my life that helped me grow, and be a better man

lyrics

Feel like I needed you about half a decade ago…When I was looking for a way to keep my passion afloat.
A blackjack rolling dice on a pipe dream.
Never lost faith, knowing one day he might be everything that they need.
When you don’t know your own fortitude until you succeed, everything around you can drain your energy. The people that say they love you but somehow never there. The inequalities, double standards and constant snares. But somehow I continue drumming up remedies. And I can count the times I thought I was within reach...of You. Far from true, it’s more than obvious, cause’ I continue to doubt a blessing every time it come thru. Indecision and missing out. It’s hard to forget.
Without reasonable doubt, I’m living with regrets. In order to survive, I keep it true and loose on this leaf until all my people are free, and your heart belongs to me.

Trying to get up out the rat race.
More than just a cash grab:
Wanna know how real love tastes.
Never felt like I was on pace, until you came along my way.
So tell me, where were you?
Baby, where were you?
Where were you?
Tell me...

Definitely out finding yourself.
Being a woman’s a job, and don’t no one offer no help.
People take what they want and leave your respect on the shelf. If nothing else, Ive learned her love is the ultimate wealth. Blessed to have been raised by women who taught me the art of letting your heart shine when everything gets dark. To stand tall when everybody expecting you to fall. To tell truth, especially when that shit is your fault.
At your roots, you have a love for the people you can’t deny. I never hear pain in your voice, but see it through your eyes.
A soul hardened by loss. I see it took a toll, but also made you way stronger and forced you to grow.
Doubt I can wait way longer to be your one and only. You’re the woman that carries my torch like Columbia with Sony. Hope I reap what I sowed when this shuffle out. The Queen of my Heart got me daydreaming of her in a Full House.

Trying to get up out the rat race.
More than just a cash grab:
Wanna know how real love tastes.
Never felt like I was on pace, until you came along my way.
So tell me, where were you?
Baby, where were you?
Where were you?
Tell me...
