Strong. Ready. Able

[Intro]
Welcome to The Hunger Inside Never Gets Satisfied

[Verse 1]
Phone calls from afar, hangouts and all
Daddy do these, I done did a 50-50 job
Physically I've been detached, divorce took its toll
Of course, I wouldn't fold
Phone calls from afar, hangouts and all
Daddy do these, I done did a 50-50 job
Physically I've been detached, divorce took its toll
Of course, I wouldn't fold, and none of it was your fault
Before I get to things that glow, show the growth, dawg
Begin by atoning my sins, young kings I caught
You cuz 'cause you royalty, hope you see why I did it this way
Live with the dismay, my issues on display, hey
Sort of escape the way I was livin' them days
Seekin' sunrise and the shade, hopin' one day to be paid
In this career you get played
But it was escape from the harsh realities
Utter bed I made, where I lay, my options weighed
"Bye-bye, I wave" type of decision could've been great
But enslaved to this rhythm, I couldn't stay
Disappear, re-appear, couple jewels in your ear
Take it to cut, you here back at it where
I belong, distant, but near
My imprint persistent, it's instinct I care
I was so selfish to barely help with
So much my momma dealt with, karma left me so helpless
Had to touch the bottom surface to resurface like a diver
I was there for dirty diapers and googoo gagas
Somewhere I lost survival tactics, steps backwards
Can't raise bastards, present in Jamaal's classes
My mom mastered, that single mother load carried
Your momma did the same, this shame I cannot bury
Not to worry, there's a village raisin' princes
Jada, she's a princess, unified within this, Jamaal
Love your mommy, you know they'll love your pops
The princess now your sister, plantin' seeds and breedin' crops

[Chorus]
We are strong, ready, able
Strong, ready, able
Strong, ready, able
Strong, ready, able

[Verse 2]
Fool, I'ma feed you food for thought, jewels
I'ma feed you jewels the way I carry them like crowns, pops
He's a teacher and a student, father and a friend
Whatever roleplay, let's share it like gems, emojis and DMs
[?] hugs and kisses, shake the atlas
Xoxo, live, love, laughter

[Outro]
Strong, ready, able
