[00:08.281] Saucy
[00:22.191] Your momma told me, "Read the Book of Job"
[00:25.046] They should've called it the Book of Soul
[00:28.321] I came into this hurtful Earth in perfect health
[00:31.093] Caught Stevens-Johnson syndrome when I was 10 years old
[00:34.323] Internal and external fever, 80%...
[00:37.244] Fatality rate at that time, ain't that some shit?
[00:40.533] Severe pinkeye, my eyes swollen shut
[00:43.435] For like two or three months, it's still bright as ****
[00:46.619] Oh, and I even lost my lip skin
[00:49.395] Grew back darker than its original pigment
[00:52.581] Skin disfigured from boils and blisters
[00:55.361] Unidentifiable by my little sister
[00:58.604] Come to think of it, I could've got a crazy check
[01:01.799] The shrink thought I'd be traumatized, but I'ma ride
[01:04.807] My first years of Junior High School were not alright
[01:07.827] Them dimes wouldn't give me no time, no, not a nod
[01:11.232] I mean not even you, we eventually got cool
[01:13.772] But I was nobody, you was the hottest hottie in the school
[01:17.094] Or the world to me, not saying that 'cause I'm your dude
[01:20.178] I'm glad I got to watch the woman that you blossomed to
[01:23.330] Ironic, we always had the same classes
[01:26.581] I copied off your work
[01:27.714] And you ain't always have the right answers
[01:30.104] But it worked, mama, thanks a lot
[01:32.145] Probably wouldn't have even graduated had you not
[01:35.341] Somewhere down the line, we became an item
[01:38.709] The love was in the air like this flight I'm lighting
[01:41.818] The first few years were so exciting
[01:44.876] Got deeper in this rap and started pushing shit back
[01:47.673] My money got funny, you wanted to go on dates
[01:50.912] I had a Sounwave beat tape tryna beat Drake
[01:54.142] Could've spent every minute with you, but I had to get it
[01:57.174] For me and you, you sing too, so you knew the business
[02:00.378] I know it was hard, but you stayed down
[02:03.348] My fam had doubts, you told me you was proud
[02:06.583] I did some things, you did some things, always came back together
[02:09.288] We knew the only way to make it work is work together
[02:12.727] Seven whole years, seven whole years
[02:15.767] It was supposed to end with our grandkids
[02:19.162] Luckily for me, I'm used to being cut short
[02:21.675] I'm such a nice guy, why, Lord?
[02:24.804] Why Lori? Why you had to take her from me?
[02:27.182] Guess He needed your angel face for all of Heaven to see
[02:30.571] Your picture's still on my mirror, and it's so scary
[02:33.189] I swear I still ain't looked at your obituary
[02:36.521] So now, I'm so doped up, I think I'm flying
[02:40.746] I hope this spliff'll never finish
[02:43.839] I guess the Mayans wasn't lying
[02:46.908] 2012, my world ended
[02:49.809] You used to say that I could see the future
[02:52.764] You was wrong, 'cause you was in it
[02:56.104] And I was just with you the day before
[02:59.435] You said you loved me, I said I loved you more
[03:01.957] And as much I wanna cower, bid the mic adieu
[03:05.010] And fall off a ****ing tower tryna find you
[03:08.171] I gotta stay 'cause I remember that day
[03:10.617] I looked you in the face and told you:
[03:12.080] "Nothing can stop me, not even you"
[03:14.019] Stick to the plan, I'll meet you at our spot
[03:17.138] If reincarnation is true and we don't get too lost
[03:20.280] Even if you forget me and everything you left behind
[03:23.064] I never lied, I love you in a place where there's no space and time
[03:26.552] I close my eyes, and I can still hear you singing loud
[03:29.407] We never got to tell them who The Love Religion was about
[03:32.451] I ain't finna stage a cry in this rhyme
[03:34.967] Signed, sincerely yours, I live to let you...
[03:38.491] Dot-da, da-da-da
[03:41.082] Da-da, da-da, da
[03:44.004] Shine
[03:45.136] Da da da, da-da-da-da
[03:51.082] Oooh...
[03:52.455] Everything I love the most gets taken away
[03:54.639] My momma and music is next
[03:57.364] And if that happens before I turn 28
[04:00.029] Then I'm going out with Kurt Cobain
[04:02.996] I still believe in God, we just ain't never spoke
[04:06.338] Unless we talkin' symbolically—then, I might agree
[04:09.369] But if you really wanna look at it that way
[04:12.573] Then, ayy, man, God don't like me
[04:16.813] I refuse to believe that
[04:18.375] But what's acceptable is anything's possible, but nobody's special
[04:21.727] My ma took my TV, Clem took my radio
[04:24.526] Now, I'm on TV and on the radio
[04:27.981] Don't be dethroned by these systems of control
[04:30.530] Just keep your fingers crossed and get them locks off your soul
[04:33.633] Don't be dethroned by these systems of control
[04:36.600] Just keep your fingers crossed and get them locks off your soul
