Make My Day

Visions of my father in the sky, up in the clouds
I'm laying on my back, my stars aligning right now
Creating the forever, and embellished in the now
Please don't mind me, I'm just dreaming out loud
I ain't a chicken, but a nigga living foul
I never kicked the chair, white flagged
Threw the towel or tapped
...the words can't & quit don't apply to me
The only time the truth hurts
When she cry " why did you lie to me"
While demystifying this self-fulfilled prophecy
Telling ya my reality, needs no analogies
Young black Socrates, art with no apologies
My mother had me 19 years young
I pray my little sister ain't 12 years dumb
I love my momma but I'm just being practical
Cause settling at a young age will come after you
And blow the flame out, before its even ignited
The opportunity is now to smoke, then light it
I tell myself all the time, boy you a star
My grandma tell me all the time, boy you a star
12/30/1990 a black star was born
You fill in the blanks, and whoever you are was born
Grand pop found dead days later, my heart was torn
So when I'm killing these songs, i go my hardest for him
Just when the hopes lost, and it seems all is gone
A nigga rise up like the sun, wish you all good morn
This rap wrote itself man i can't take the blame
I'm just saying what you scared to, man don't feel ashamed
I learned a lot less from joy than i did from pain
Philly's finest since Cody but he was scared of fame
Eating Chinese, drinking champagne
Teaching my nephew to get fly and keep his sneaks clean
I pray to God he don't wanna be a star
And tell him to never change, forever be who you are...

Make my day...
