The Message Lyrics

The kid was like 17, like Martin I had a dream

I'm hungry I need to feast, at the table I'll take seat

They told you it's levels to this, I guess it's not for the Meek

You dropped and nobody listened?, guess that shit wasn't heat

But that's not the problem, because I've been in that situation

You lose cause you took a L and decided you couldn't make it

Determination in heart of these niggas

I found its vacant y'all told me that ain't the reason

I shrugged then I didn't say shit, now you feel abandoned? you a funny ass nigga

Get no money ass nigga And you wanna blame that shit on me that's crazy

You hate me, instead of waking up to smell the daisies

You would rather sit around the crib complain and be lazy

But, that's the difference between you and me

Penned before birth, and will be written in our eulogies

Regardless of the differences, I'm looking for some unity

Gotta start from somewhere so how bout we start with you and me

I've been tryna make sense of the things that we been through

But thinking rationally, that doesn't seem to be within you

So I'm at a crossroads, double back or let it rock

I was willing to amend but you saw them boys and you talked

So we over and done with

And I can't even lie when it happened downed a whole fifth

Even when I knew the truth behind that whole dumb myth

I gave you everything but it was never enough

You came for taste and then you tried to leave me in dust

But mamas prayers to strong for that and this ain't a song it's facts

I had to take all the flak, It's cool tho

You went from my dog to enemy like Cujo

Then everything I lost messing with you came back two-fold

I guess it was a blessing in disguise And I ain't ever trip,

What's done in darkness comes to light

You steady complaining how the world don't do you right

And when you asked for help I was the one there down to fight

But, that's the difference between you and me

Penned before birth, and will be written in our eulogies

Regardless of the differences, I'm looking for some unity

Gotta start from somewhere so how bout we start with you and me
