Found

Hot water run out
Someone took too long in the shower
Soup pot on the stove full of bath water
The water won't be back hot for another hour
The bus come in 20 minutes, guess you gotta problem
What you know bout being grounded from the juke spot
Cause you got caught stealing meat up out the soup pot
Motivation changed at 13 years old. In high school
With kids who vacations could pay off my loans
Imagine your friend being in a million dollar home
And you come back to yours being heated by the stove
My mom oshun in the flesh. Atlantic Ocean in flesh
I’m a king in my death. Royalty in every breath
Loyalty with every step. And I mean you know dilla
So it ain't too many niggas like me left
Hood niggas rock with me it’s likeI moved packs with them
School niggas rock with me it’s like I skipped classes with them
Niggas praying backwards missing blessings that done came
How you gone ask for flowers but complain about the rain
I’m like where your seeds at? Nigga, you ain't know you need that?
Niggas mentally in high school man it's a strange thing
Imagine living until 84 and only peaking at 18
Imagine putting real feelings only into fake things
I had to sit down with E and let him know when we was home
Yeah you up now but remember though you was broke
It can happen at any time so stay on yo toes
Keep some up in the cut to give future you a loan
Cause they show you love now but just remember that they don't
They used to over look me. But I'll be ROY
The best rookie. Can't B Roy I just reinforced the knees
I'm more Dame with my mine and I think that lotto would agree
Cause I’m free lunch. Perkins loan, pell grant getting
Getting rich with my niggas. Don't trust niggas if he won't cry with you or die with you
And if he don't trust judgement even if y’all disagree
Then that means he can't ride with you
I watch from back as you front on yourself
At least your Jackie Chan you doing stunts yourself
Now I’m Living above average but move like a gotta manage
Cause I'm gone take they standards and cause a lotta damage
They teach you how to floss but nothing about finances
17 worried being cool , well was spending bread on random shoes and fits
I could’ve invested that, and damn near upped my credentials
So when I tell you about saving, I'm tryna save your potential
You leech a nigga then you won't probably understand us
Well that's fine it wasn't meant for you. Thank you listening
And letting me vent to you. We built this from the ground up
You know from cement with you. I know it's all good with you
West end born. In the wood where slept at night. Man it helped me grow
Running through the city , but that’s where I did my dirt. That’s where I learned that lil niggas used to walk around with poles
Wasn't till I lost myself that I found soul. Found myself and found my goals
Found love. Found peace. Got degrees. And I found them loans
But we gone pay them hoes off with flows
That's on my soul. Welcome home dilla
Welcome home

Cause how you get lost tryna find yourself?
Not knowing you been here all along and to remind yourself
Welcome home Dilla
Welcome home
Welcome home Dilla
Welcome home

If you're reading this, which I hope you won’t have to
You might be lost again. No worries. I left this for you
I’ve watched you struggle with this idea of freedom
And what it feels like. But I know where it starts
By learning. you. Your story
Which is nothing but a collection of moments anyway
So I kept some for you. Stored away in the same spot
I left it, you just have to dig a little
Just like we all do to find who we are. With that being said
I hope this brings you back. Or never need it
Much love from a not so distant past
Fem

Don’t you know who you are
