W.C. and the MAAD Circle - The Creator слова песни
This one here`s for The Creator`Trying to get over...` like Curtis Mayfield saidI was a problem child, running wild in the nightLivin on a not-so-safe set of lifeCaught up in the rapture, quick to blast yaNeglected as a juvenile, so labelled a `ghetto bastard`Forced to live the life of a hoodster on the prowlGoin through my life with a permanent frownBut still you stood by me and you got me here safelyNever turned away from me when others lost faith in meEven when I was a non-believer and doubted your existenceYou still shed mercy on my ignoranceHow can I say this, no words can`t explainHow much I thank you for helpin me deal with the painFor sparin my life at times I thought I was throughAll praise is due, here`s to youSo[ CHORUS ] This is for the lover in you This is for the things that you do This time I will take up for you Cause your love`s gon` last foreverNow as I reminisce like Minnie Riperton in a PendletonI`m havin flashbacks `lookin at these photographs`Glancin at old flicks of me and my dogsThinkin how we all played little league footballNo set-trippin, we was down for one another>From pups to mutts, we came up, Westside hustlersYou couldn`t stop us, no matter what you told usStarched Curduroys with the fresh peachy foldersWashington High School, damn, them was the daysThe 12th grade came and we went our own waysDoin what we had to do to make ends meetSome of us went to college and some kicked the streetsSome of us passed away, some just fadedSome turned snitch, and some is incarceratedMe, I been blessed to catch wreck over beatsBut without you, this wouldn`t be completeSo[ CHORUS ](Ooh child, things ain`t gettin any easier...)Survivin in the ghetto you gotta stay strongBut realistically no man out here can make it aloneAin`t no sleepin, none of us creepinI see the men that`s in the streets, andSmokers fiendin, the drama got me thinkinHow I need to play as if I was a StylisticAnd stop and look and listenTake a second out to count my blessingsCause you coulda laid me down a long time agoBut you let me live, and God knows I ain`t a angelSo I`ma take this opportunity to flip the scriptFor the lover of you, cause props is dueFor sparin my life at times I thougth I was throughI gotta give it up, here`s to youSo[ CHORUS ]
