get up
hey. we gotta get outta here

cuz if they knew i was making love to you
they'd kill me

i know
it really dont make much sense
but when does love ever?

baby
i kinda need to hear that you feel me

[chorus]
always feels like im losin my step
every other second gotta catch my breath
judge no man
habor no hate
make enough money so my rent shit straight
build me this house
play these cards
be a strong man when dem times get hard
love my woman and serve my God
honor my father's name

i know
i aint never been that good
but it really that wrong
if i just wanna sing my song and rep this hood?

im sayin
maybe im just that lost

or maybe i stay
lookin for a price to pay not knowin the cost?

always feels like im runnin outta steps
every other second gotta catch my breath
judge no man
habor no hate
make enough money so these bills get paid
build me this house
play me these cards
be an open sholder case somebody get scared
love my woman and serve my God
honor my father's name

So I pray
Cuz I know there’s something greater
I try to remind myself and everybody else that we’re the creators
of our love story
And maybe people think I got it all together
Because I practice the best of me on a higher level
And im so far away
But what the masses agree on I don’t wanna be on
And their pain tends to feed on
I’m choosing love
But what the don’t see

Is that sometimes i feels like im losing my step
Every other second tryna catch my breath
My sister sends me money to buy groceries
Said to its hard to believe when you did not eat
And sometimes im scared sometimes I cry
Its hard to let go and I don’t know why
So I love myself
And serve my God
Honor the sense of my name

And be brave and keep on loving
Cuz in these times, love is unlawful
And people wanna hear me singing songs like

Aint it bad/really sad/feelin mad/frowny face

I’m just saying
Why is it easy to conjure up misery?
But I’ll be the outcast. I’ll be the rebel
Lock me up and throw away the key
Cuz I’m gonna be the light, despite

[When It] feels like im losing my step
Every other second gotta catch my breath
See I have the perfect life to practice getting better
Cant appreciate the sun if I don’t know rainy weather
And sometimes im scared
Sometimes I cry
Its hard to let go and I don’t know why
So I love myself and serve my God
Honor my father’s name
