High John

Yeah, yeah-yeah
 Yeah
 Praying they still make love in my size
 Sober up and wipe the crust out my eyes
 My last integrity and trust a trail of crumbs for my bride
 Is it a return or a failure to succumb to the tide?
 When Charlotte people seen folks cherish me was such a surprise
 They seeing something we not
 Since doctors sliced open my stomach at five
 More often than not at sustenance a nah before a nod
 It's stock in the Glock
 I'm crashing if it's eye for an еye
 Poppa taught me a lot
 Love and disrеspect is all we abide
 I had to get a check I wanted a commune
 Either a big BM or a Benz for my mom
 Soon popping benzos turned her grin into monsoon
 A long June the summer after
 We made the turn on the long route for the plunder
 Casted in small rooms knitting heart loom spinning something tragic
 But, love from fragments automatic just that Sumter magic
 Bumped my cap and crack
 For that puff a raw or pump a baddie
 Always keep a driver by the caddie, why we lugging baggage?
 Niggas want my status so attack me, they just hustling backwards
 Models and bottles coming matching we prefer the black ones
 Don't need no flashiness, the stats and graphs reveal the stature
 Older heads sad 'bout how it happened, take 'em out to pasture
 Niggas won't gassing me or asking my opinion last year
 We was our only love
 Struggle a teach you some
 12th grade I rode east with Ahmir to go and meet the plug
 We learned we built this off belief we ain't e'en need the drugs
 I told mom I'll trek D.C. if it'll please her
 But degree don't seem to speak no more
 The pain hit deeper when your people ain't in reach no more
 'Cause greed would feed them more
 Praying they still make love in my size
 Sober up and wipe the crust out my eyes
 My last integrity and trust a trail of crumbs for my bride
 Is it a return or a failure succumb to the tide?
 Money got bigger, but my problems never shrunk down to size
 They was just feeling it, but then the sun had shrunk out the sky
 You need my echo just to hear from me
 But I'ma echo in your memory, yeah, yeah
 Alright
