Aye, I wanna dedicate this one to my son, Noah Hasani
Daddy love you, boy, yeah
And everybody just workin' through what they workin' through, you know what I'm sayin'?
Everybody makin' the best of what they got
Aye, aye, look
I know some OGs always working but they never paid
Findin' they way, but shit, it gotta be a better way
The older that I get, I'm feelin' the resemblance
I look into my son's eyes and still see his innocence
I see my inner child in him and still the remnants
Will he lose it to the world, is it imminent?
Or is it something that me and his momma had instilled in him?
Any confidence you lose, you could build again
He only nine months, barely sittin' up
He almost fell over, I called him and told him
Gotta get on up
I'm only makin' plays now to pass it on
One day my baby gon' have babies and I'm gon' be gone
The way time movin', it really won't be long
I pray I'm there for every memory you want me on
I gotta teach him that it's more than a rat race
More than a cash chase, and if you chase cash, that just means that it's runnin' away
Instead of turnin' what you love into a company and watch the money come to me
My, what has the world done to me?
Judgin' people off of how they look, not what they've done for me
Don't assume is number three of the four agreements
I gotta start applyin' everything that I've been readin'
It seem like the tragedy of losing kids will never calm
I think about Trayvon, Breon-, my neighbor Deshaun
Prayin' for protection for my family and that He keep His hands on me to fight through this insanity
I lay down, tryna figure out the rest
Close my eyes, picture Heaven, and it's where I'm at
Gotta get on up
Get up
On up
You gotta get on up now
And you can't sit down, gotta get on up
You gotta get on up now
And you can't sit down, gotta get on up
You gotta get on up now
And you can't sit down, gotta get on up
And you can't sit down, gotta get on up now
And you can't sit down, gotta get on up now
You gotta get on up now
You gotta get on up
