Bobby Valentino

[Chorus]
Gold in my soul
Peelin’ my ego
Never catch me alone
My team, you gotta pree though
Used to flip in the whip
Back then, we know
My heart still dips from that Bobby Valentino

[Verse]
Try’na make a difference
I grow in the distance
My heart grows numb, I feel like I don’t miss ‘em
Just talked to my cousin
His brother just got married
His sister just got a daughter and I been feelin’ embarrassed
Cause I been out of the loop;
Family I should cherish
‘cause no one’s got a clue when we might all perish
Ali just graduated, he needs help with his resume
‘cause he’s just been an intern, slavin’ just like a peasant wait
For 8 months? and workin’ for no funds? I’m try’na resonate
Boody is now a freshman, the struggle of pickin’ majors
Engineering or medicine; you know the fuckin’ specimen
Arguments with my parents;
Let him follow his passion
Instead of this old fashioned stereotype
Romacin’ with thoughts of me in this scenario like..
Back when I was in this same position and fighting for my admission
I mean.. I’m usually passive I’m usually asif
I’m too self-absorbed
Sat him down and told him you got’ta follow your dream
& if you got’ta make a scene then go for it
And don’t take shit from nobody, not even me
Cause it’s your life dawg

[Chorus]
Gold in my soul
Peelin’ my ego
Never catch me alone
My team, you got’ta pree though
Used to flip in the whip
Back then, we know
My heart still dips from that Bobby Valentino

[Verse]
Try’na make a difference
I grow in the distance
I should’ve reached out earlier
Instead of rappin’ about feelin’ inferior
When you got diagnosed it put my moms in hysteria
You were her closest sister
Only two years older, a steel shoulder for her to cry on and feel bolder
You battled for years and beat it multiple times
Lookin’ for signs but this cancer came back worse and got the best of you
And here I am talkin’ to your residue
Rest in peace with ease and blessings too
What to do..
Ever since you passed, my mama been scared
She runnin’ tests on the regular
And god’s doin’ the same beyond the nebula
I recall Maryam crying with Hagar, Menna and Sarah
It made me wan’na run up on that sifara
And walk out the building with all of your children
But the system that we're a part of
Left me no way back
God I hate this feelin’!
You see my moms got diagnosed this month
I wrote this once, I hope my sons don’t get it!

[Chorus]
Gold in my soul
Peelin’ my ego
Never catch me alone
My team, you got’ta pree though
Used to flip in the whip
Back then, we know
My heart still dips from that Bobby Valentino
