Found

Hot water run out

Someone took too long in the shower

Soup pot on the stove full of bath water

The water won't be back hot for another hour

The bus come in 20 minutes, guess you gotta problem

What you know bout being grounded from the juke spot

Cause you got caught stealing meat up out the soup pot

Motivation changed at 13 years old. In high school

With kids who vacations could pay off my loans

Imagine your friend being in a million dollar home

And you come back to yours being heated by the stove

My mom oshun in the flesh. Atlantic Ocean in flesh

I’m a king in my death. Royalty in every breath

Loyalty with every step. And I mean you know dilla

So it ain't too many niggas like me left

Hood niggas rock with me it’s likeI moved packs with them

School niggas rock with me it’s like I skipped classes with them

Niggas praying backwards missing blessings that done came

How you gone ask for flowers but complain about the rain

I’m like where your seeds at? Nigga, you ain't know you need that?

Niggas mentally in high school man it's a strange thing

Imagine living until 84 and only peaking at 18

Imagine putting real feelings only into fake things

I had to sit down with E and let him know when we was home

Yeah you up now but remember though you was broke

It can happen at any time so stay on yo toes

Keep some up in the cut to give future you a loan

Cause they show you love now but just remember that they don't

They used to over look me. But I'll be ROY

The best rookie. Can't B Roy I just reinforced the knees

I'm more Dame with my mine and I think that lotto would agree

Cause I’m free lunch. Perkins loan, pell grant getting

Getting rich with my niggas. Don't trust niggas if he won't cry with you or die with you

And if he don't trust judgement even if y’all disagree

Then that means he can't ride with you

I watch from back as you front on yourself

At least your Jackie Chan you doing stunts yourself

Now I’m Living above average but move like a gotta manage

Cause I'm gone take they standards and cause a lotta damage

They teach you how to floss but nothing about finances

17  worried being cool , well was spending bread on random shoes and fits

I could’ve invested that, and damn near upped my credentials

So when I tell you about saving, I'm tryna save your potential

You leech a nigga then you won't probably understand us

Well that's fine it wasn't meant for you. Thank you listening

And letting me vent to you. We built this from the ground up

You know from cement with you. I know it's all good with you

West end born. In the wood where slept at night. Man it helped me grow

Running through the city , but that’s where I did my dirt. That’s where I learned that lil niggas used to walk around with poles

Wasn't till I lost myself that I found soul. Found myself and found my goals

Found love. Found peace. Got degrees. And I found them loans

But we gone pay them hoes off with flows

That's on my soul.  Welcome home dilla

Welcome home

Cause how you get lost tryna find yourself?

Not knowing you been here all along and to remind yourself

Welcome home Dilla

Welcome home

Welcome home Dilla

Welcome home

If you're reading this, which I hope you won’t have to

You might be lost again. No worries. I left this for you

I’ve watched you struggle with this idea of freedom

And what it feels like. But I know where it starts

By learning. you. Your story

Which is nothing but a collection of moments anyway

So I kept some for you. Stored away in the same spot

I left it, you just have to dig a little

Just like we all do to find who we are. With that being said

I hope this brings you back. Or never need it

Much love from a not so distant past

Fem

Don’t you know who you are
