My Whole Life

Yeah
 Uh
 Yeah, yeah, yeah
 This my last time going, Navy suede Wallies stitched by the toe
 Watch the sun fall, it's gradient though
 Cut it close, told em "Shorten up the rope"
 I'm home, it's desolate as it get
 Toss em a bone
 Marrow like blood of the bone
 Listen close, quick releases
 Bought my nephew sneakers just to watch
 Him grow out of em soon as he get in em
 Learned to pick my battles, in the long run we winning
 Learned to pick my battles, in the long run we winning
 Give thanks, I grew up with some beautiful women
 You can't relate, my momma said I'd be the one cycle
 Grateful that I lived this life, much easier than Michael's
 We look everything alike
 Different mothers but I wonder why we couldn't meet in this life
 I've spent my whole life loving you (Darling, you)
 So what they got a branch? My roots in the Earth
 Heard they never need a bandage, I'm used to the hurt
 Bars speak to keep a clear head, I'm near to my worth
 Greatest homestead, niggas at the plate tryna serve
 Please do not disturb, peace was the holy word
 Teach me, on the verge of breaking through
 Ask a plant before you take its fruit
 We need reparations done, the patience
 We need militants, unite the youth
 It ain't a simulation
 And peace to Mavi, said that niggas built this nation
 We could break it
 Pump faking like you James, we know it's all for the taking
 Cookies out the cookie jar, I'm far in the basement
 Comparing shades and counting scars, we seen the tall faces
 Pulling shit apart, quit judging our faith
 It's simple just to hark back and sit where you stayed
 Moon landings in the dark, it was all on the stage
 Watch the sky turn navy, see shooting stars maybe
 I'm a king, not a prince, probably why my youth hates me
 You know I can't pretend, you know I came to win
 Potent's in the pen
 Uh
 I've spent my whole life loving you (Darling, you)
