Yeah
With love in my heart
The Lord told me wasn't nobody else gonna do it for me
[Verse 1]
At seven sharp I watch Mom heat our dinners up
I used to wonder why she never eat dinner much
I hit my first dice game on some beginners luck
And ate good all week
Meet the winners chump
We was wild in those days
We don't send as much
Got a lot more going but we don't bring as much
Its still cops and robbers
But we don't pretend as much
All that stimulus money
And they don't send us much
Looking for a break
But we don't really bend as much
Homes is going up and they don't even lend as much
It's still Red and Blue and they don't really blend it much
Police try to break it up
But they don't end it much
Tonight a young man was shot was where they ended us
So don't tell me swine flu gone be the end of us
I believe God can see us before he send us up
And I don't know about you
But He made men of us
[Chorus]
Yeah this all on me
From the westside
L-O-V-E
You might never see nothin like me
You might never hear nothin like me again
I'm back lookin like me again
Tell them niggas its me again
It's me again
It's me again
[Verse 2]
I used to pray my Dad's Mom would always stay around
Its been a long ten years since we laid it down
Sometimes I pass by a building on my way through town
If I told her I was rappin it would've made her smile
To see me at 25 it would've made her "Wow"
Wish I could write the songs then I could've made it now
I once told my Pops that I hated school
He gave me sixty bucks a week and I made it through
I knew them books was half truths
But I played it cool
Then I planned the future
Then I made it move
Now the world goes anywhere I tell it to
I'm just an example
That's what I'm telling you
From the westside with love's what I'm mailin you
Politicians should be assistin in not failin you
So you can go around trying to tell the truth
But be careful who you tell it to
Yeah
[Chorus]
Yeah this all on me
From the westside
L-O-V-E
You might never see nothin like me
You might never hear nothin like me again
I'm back lookin like me again
Tell them niggas its me again
It's me again
It's me again
My mind is the strongest muscle in my body
I can make anything happen
Just gotta add a lil love
A lil dedication
Give it some time and watch it grow
Hard work can take you anywhere you wanna go
If you don't believe nothing else you can bet on that
Keep your head up high
And never look back
Know there's only one person that can stop you from getting what you want
And thats yourself
You just gotta push yourself to be the best
And don't worry about anybody else
Remember theirs ain't got nothin to do with yours
You hear me?
You hear me?
