Ugh
Sometimes life is gonna throw curve balls your way
Its a matter if you can knock it out of the park or not
In the immortal words of Gangstarr
Everybody must meet their moment of truth
Check it out, here we go
And you can go on remember you're
God blessed (its all about you)
And let that pain fall away
Oh ooh ooh
On a rainy day
Remember you're, god bless
Watch them clouds all the way
Oh ooh ooh
Now I'm feeling all was lost, how will I make it now
Jarobi called, its Christmas day he'd be exchanging vows
That made my day, cause shorty was truly the one
But trust me fam, teach the goal its gonna kill me son
With that I took my mom's advice, she kept my at my word
Move to the West on wedding day for April 23rd
Jump the broom, feeling good, love catch the boy alive
Honeymoon in Tobago to do some shows with Tribe
Hopin' to do a group album but that went nowhere fast
And to make matters worse, my boy J. Dilla passed
Feelin' that its me and Dilla playing home tab
For at least 2 years and now he's gone, damn
Wish I could have reached out to simply wish him well
It hurts to know that at the same time we would go through hell
I missed you fam, and that's not just for your sound
What up Ma Dukes, Malik is here to hold you down
When you can't go on remember you're
God blessed
And let that pain fall away
On a rainy day, remember you're
God blessed
Watch them clouds go away
Oh ooh ooh
On tour with Tribe, once again, great to be with crew
Step-son in his 3rd year of playin in AEU
Wish I could lend my B-Boy IQ to his growing game
Same goes for my bro who started 9th grade
Feels good hittin' the stage, with all our beats and rhymes
Chemistry on point, still we quest to shine
For me its all therapeutic, illness not on my mind
Phife just go all out like its the last time
From Thanks Giving '06, to say the end of May
Your boy was so damn sick, felt like my last days
But the God I serve ain't see it that way
Guess was Im sayin' is my whole family had pray
(?)
Hospital bed, where I laid by a two week stay
Started ??? after memorial day
End of 07 hip hop honored Tribe but ain't that great
Media said "Phife on crack", you been losing weight
I laughed it off, cause one thing Phife foot has is pride
I never let them see me sweat, I kept it all inside
2008, Tribe back on da road again
Well wishes from enemies as well as friends
See by this time, most knew what was going on
Some gave me dap, said Phife diggy stand strong
Along with that you know what else bound to come along
These punk ass haters, wishing that Malik was gone
But to God be the glory, he kept my sanity
Gave me a wifey who commitment was there for me
I'm speaking morally, physically, spiritually
Always loving me for me, unconditionally
Not just annually or strictly anniversaries
Never can be put into words what you had done for me
With my emotions on my sleeve and you would comfort me
Malik was ill and you and mom would hold that jack for me
4 years on the list, and word, you donate the kidney
That ain't nothing but Jah, Jah blessing me
That ain't nothing but Jah, Jah blessing me
Hey, that ain't nothing but Jah, Jah blessing me
Come on
All I need in this life is family friends
The sky sent from above
Oh ooh
Love and life
Life and Energy
Jah still blessing me
Take me out my misery
Its hard to be the best you been, love ain't around
Blessings from Jah, see my love from down
Never can we stop, with that feel good sound
I never knew a love, like this God sent, hey
Its hard to be the best you been, love not around
Blessings from Jah, send your love down, yeah
No we can't stop, with that feel good sound, yeah
I never knew a love like this, whoa whoa
Hey hey
