El DeBarge - Cantrell

I know what I’ve been through, I know who I pray to-

My mama’s been crying these rivers of pain lately;

like that wouldn’t phase you-

Just face it, if you don’t cut it you get a replacement, so you gotta make

moves-

They done made it hard, threw salt on scars

Still I climb through with a face smooth as El Debarge-look

I’m the the key to get my homies out, they been tapping to their older ways-

I been flipping shoes they been flipping bricks, guess we both do it for the Js-

I’m rebuking every fallacy… hope my people don’t be mad at me-

Just know that it’s love in the air and I’ll permeate it till the death of me

Hook

I need a whole lot of room, ‘cause I got a whole lot of dreams-

I need a want the whole damn game, and I mean the whole damn thing-

We on a whole new wave, I’m in a whole other modecome

With a whole lot of flame, come with a soul made of gold-

This for squad… This for the team, this for the fam, this for the squad-

This for the love, this for the town, this for the squad-

This from the soul, This from the bottom, This from the heart-

I’m playing my part

Get out my face, don’t give a damn what you say.

Don’t need your fork on my

plate-

I step to the plate, chipper jones with a chip on my shoulder from the little a-

At the entry we checkin' yo faith, if you bogus we clear it with sage-

If I get a grip on this then it’s official my city is safe-

Outro/Skit Phone Call

Hey uhh… I hate I didn’t get you on the phone but I guess a voicemail is

better than nothing

Umm… I gotta make a move ya know?

It’s just time.

I got a call about going to

LA and I just… I need to

Take that leap of faith.

Prolly gonna hate me for this but I’m actually leaving

now.

But you know, we always

Talk about sacrifice and meeting God halfway so all I can do is hope you’ll

understand.

Tell everyone I love

Em… I’ll be back…
