[Intro: Dorsey High School Football Team]
Feel that shit today, I want you to feel it
Don't say it if you don't mean it
Su, get that shit
(What's up) What's up
(What's up) what's up
(How you feel?) Alright
(How you feel?) Alright
(What we gon' do?) Dog 'em
(What we gon' do?) Dog 'em
(Get Loud, I said get loud)
All for one, one for all
We came to fight 'til we can't fight no more
Lay down, bleed for one
Get up and fight some more
Dorsey
[Hook: Jet 2]
S-T-A-F-O-N-J-O-H-N-S-O-N (repeat 4x)
[Verse]
Broadie, you the best under the S-U-N
Just know SC couldn't move the sticks unless you in
Got the heart of a warrior, the spirit of a soldier
The dream is in your vision and I feel it coming closer
Let it go? No sir, misfortune is a blessing
And this one has approached to cause the making of a legend
Holla at my brethren. DDP for life and I shall write it on my death wish
Put it on my death bed
The rise to the top will never feel so good
If it wasn't for the thorns on the trees in the woods
Trust in God, you'll be good
By the time you hear this bro
You'll be somewhere chillin' doing better than before
And I'mma let them niggas know in every line and every quote
They feel your presence on the field, they feel my presence on the flow
Just know God'll never give us too much to cope with
And that's on DDP, Mama Shah and Kevin Copeland
I swear they watchin' over ya
Every single moment this is nothing but a sign just to show you to keep your hope when
Everything looks broken, ain't shit broken
And word to all the haters; this will never stop the show, bitch
Speaking for the posse, real DDP bro shit
They can feel the greatness whenever a Don approaches
Ski for the Bruins, Rahim oh shit
Jeremiah Johnson, need I say mo' shit?
Na'il Diggs, got niggas to the league
Kevin Copeland, rest in peace greatest player ever seen
And niggas couldn't stop this
Even if the spot miss, drive it up the field never keep it in the pocket
Couple shots of faith and bro I swear that you will not miss
This is just a test and success is only a process
Just a minor setback and never a lost step
Gotta keep faith with your God given conscience
Gotta keep it moving, gotta keep it moving constant
I swear I'm not alone because I know the fam got me
I swear you're not alone, you better know the fam got you
And with us and God behind you, there is nothing you cannot do
So fuck what they say, soldiers go through all kind of shit
And you're destiny's child. I know you're on your survivor shit
Ride for the fam on some real type rider shit
Move the dog pile, watch him stand on top of it
Fourth down; inches. Get the crowd wild
Watch him run right across the pylon with a smile on
Thirteen on the jersey looking like all of the colonies
I swear you run that shit like money run the economy
Get the rock and go, they slow; get smoked
I know that DDP is what you do it for like Joe, no joke
And I ain't trynna diss McKnight
But fans come to see Stafon just to watch him ignite like light
Brighter than a mug, star in the sky
All of the above, flyer than a dove
Got the whole city under your wings like
Hail mary in the sky when it sink right
Them other rappers in the league like Tomlinson
But I'm almost there, bitch I'm working on my Johnson shit
And I've been hittin' minor setbacks just like
But I never miss the ride always catch the bus lights
So one time for the one, three just remember one thing
Nothing can come between your destiny
And it's destined to be
So when your highs hit a low, just remember that you're always a legend to me
And that's de-definitely, you got infinite courage
And I got bars, it's in the service
Purposely serving purpose and my purpose is
Just to take the pain, antonym it and reverse the shit
And you got the wings of an angel, I swear they can't take 'em
Always been a leader, never what the game made him
Always been humble, lil' hype don't change him
Shooting for the targets, missing spots don't break him
Steal the spotlight, never lose; only gain shit
Come right back, kill 'em on some never change shit
Come right back, kill 'em on some still the same shit
Stafon Johnson, amazing; the greatest
[Outro]
Aye Staf. Speaking on behalf of the fam
All our prayers go out to you bro
There's so much that I can say, but words just can't explain
What you mean to each and everyone of us individually
And I just take this as an eye-opener to show never to take things for granted
Much love, DDP for life. One
Jet 2 released DDP 4 Lyfe (Stafon Johnson) on Sat Oct 24 2009.
