Umoja |
| Listen |
| Could have made a baby mom out of ya' but figured wife was better |
| I wrote Eclipse for you instead of writing letters |
| You held me down through my endeavors and in turn |
| We gained experience through rotten weather |
| And we learned that above this fog is cloud 9 |
| Visibility’s low but I don’t let it cloud mine |
| I see you, but this isn’t Pandora |
| But fight for your man and I’ll fight for ya' |
| Cause in the meantime we keep peace and order |
| Plant food for thought keep our seed watered |
| Like many before us we could play this solo |
| But we make a better chorus because we make great music (Together) |
| An imperfect harmony, couple scars but we’re durable like mahagony |
| And over the years it may crack and splinter |
| When it’s colder than last year’s winter |
| But we hold it (Together) |
| Like our lives depended on it |
| No fluff built this with the proper components |
| That’s why, why, why, why, why, why, why… |
| Together |
| Together |
| Uh-huh, what’s unity without family, right? |
| Pops in a cemetary, brother’s in the military |
| Mama’s ain’t got a mister, and I got 5 sisters |
| Only two I’m not in contact with, no grudges |
| Man I’m too old to be on that ish |
| Still love 'em and if you’re listenin' |
| I hope life treatin' you well |
| And your thirst for success too strong for you to fail |
| Lesson learned from my fam in fact |
| The very thing that helped me make it through hell and back |
| And I’m cool, how fire gunna burn the sun? |
| Don’t be a fool, I learned what resilient meant because of you |
| And (together) we continue to make it through |
| Cancer, mental illness, diabetes, and who |
| Knows what else but I tell you what else we can do |
| Raise our kids healthier and wiser but we gotta do it (Together) |
| For Dillain, Octy, and Ren Ren |
| All my little fam, a better future’s within them, yeah |
| Yo, I ain’t even gotta know you to show you love |
| Cause nowadays even a complete stranger could be your blood |
| So I treat everyone like a cous' on GP |
| Until your attitude switch from love to bleep me |
| Everybody and their mama from the street |
| But when it need improvements they forget it completely |
| How you gonna make a child and not raise him? |
| Tell me, can you love your God and not praise him? |
| Same goes for your offspring or it fall on |
| Me to make everything alright when it’s all wrong |
| Call on me, we share a common enemy |
| Inner turmoil from not knowing our true identity |
| Turn your backs on the exact ones we should bond with |
| I got your back young we need action to make progress (Together) |
| We can conquer any nonsense |
| Invest in one another our people shall profit |
| Let’s start it |
