My Whole Life

[Intro]

Yeah

Uh

Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 1]

This my last time going, Navy suede Wallies stitched by the toe

Watch the sun fall, it's gradient though

Cut it close, told em "Shorten up the rope"

I'm home, it's desolate as it get

Toss em a bone

Marrow like blood of the bone

Listen close, quick releases

Bought my nephew sneakers just to watch him grow out of em soon as he get in em

Learned to pick my battles, in the long run we winning

Learned to pick my battles, in the long run we winning

Give thanks, I grew up with some beautiful women

You can't relate, my momma said I'd be the one cycle

Grateful that I lived this life, much easier than Michael's

We look everything alike

Different mothers but I wonder why we couldn't meet in this life

[Chorus: Sample]

I've spent my whole life loving you (Darling, you)

[Verse 2]

So what they got a branch? My roots in the Earth

Heard they never need a bandage, I'm used to the hurt

Bars speak to keep a clear head, I'm near to my worth

Greatest homestead, niggas at the plate tryna serve

Please do not disturb, peace was the holy word

Teach me, on the verge of breaking through

Ask a plant before you take its fruit

We need reparations done, the patience

We need militants, unite the youth

It ain't a simulation

And peace to Mavi, said that niggas built this nation

We could break it

Pump faking like you James, we know it's all for the taking

Cookies out the cookie jar, I'm far in the basement

Comparing shades and counting scars, we seen the tall faces

Pulling shit apart, quit judging our faith

It's simple just to hark back and sit where you stayed

Moon landings in the dark, it was all on the stage

Watch the sky turn navy, see shooting stars maybe

I'm a king, not a prince, prolly why my youth hazy

You know I can't pretend, you know I came to win

Potent's in the pen

Uh

[Chorus: Sample]

I've spent my whole life loving you (Darling, you)
