Consider My Love

[Chorus: Pismo]
Consider my love
The days when we were
Together so young
Our love was enough
Remember?

[Verse 1: Pismo]
1974, the Lord put me on this planet with a plan to be
As hard as granite, calm spirit, no panic
At the childbirth, verse read
Mother shaped my head with a kiss, "Damn, he got a strong grip"
As I suckled, my father's knees buckled from the joy
Luck would have it that this bouncing baby boy would gravi-
Tate towards being poetic, emceein'
In the future, but for now, on the nipple like a hookah
Fast forward, play games and duke a bit, the years progress
Messed with cats that dib and dabbled in chess
Less strategical, but meaningful, growing was completed so
Fast, third grader doing fifth grade math
Knew the library staff and half the books I read
Shed light, damn, those Arabian nights
Was influenced by love that be of my birthright (Birthright)

[Chorus: Pismo]
Consider my love
The days when we were
Together so young
Our love was enough
Remember?

[Verse 2: Pismo]
Sundays at church
Watching the preacher work the pulpit, sit next to Ma
Pay attention or you'd get pinned 'gainst the wall
Times was serious, but love conquered
Above sponsors of hate, so we had to relate
In those days, hip-hop was ill
Conforming to the wack, performing was unreal
And listen, that's real, we'd kill for a chance to go dance
And wop, pop music was hot and new
Boys would pop and groove with high tops and loose shoes
To hip-hop that incorporated jazz and blues
In high school, arts was plentiful
Magnetic programs romance was synthetic
Dead it in a minute so much love, but love, I'm tryna get it
Through roads and streets, avenues and creeks
Seek what my heart desires, buying tracks that meet
Complete now so

[Chorus: Pismo]
Consider my love
The days when we were
Together so young
Our love was enough
Remember?

[Verse 3: Pismo]
Those family functions
No interruptions, bustin' the Dozens on kinfolk
Mainly your cousins, it's all love in good spirit
Used to hear it from the older generation
Chasin' them dreams and stacking cream for all of us
We used to boost a bit
Young kids with the itch to have them cool fits
And fly kicks, Nike Dunks
California raised, so the hustle was engrained from day one
Fake ones that front, give it up
Childhood was good, from Stockton to Inglewood
Boggs Tract, in fact, is where the foundation lies at
Now Mack trucks back up to speed the track up
I plead, don't crack up the dirt before we act up
From the foot to the brain impact cuts the soul deep
A whole heap, but peep, we still gain
Things have changed, but memories stay the same
This brave heart parts with

[Chorus: Pismo]
Consider my love
The days when we were
Together so young
Our love was enough
Remember?
Consider my love
The days when we were
Together so young
Our love was enough
Remember?

[Outro: Pismo]
Consider my love
