Umoja

[Verse 1]

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...

[Chorus]

Together

Together

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]

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

[Chorus]
