(And I know how music can help people) (I know how it's helped me) (Through some tough situations, you know what I'm sayin?) (Just life lessons in general, so if I can put some of that into my music) (And give it to the people let's go) Okay, okay, okay, okay, ladies and gentlemen Had to come back with the genuine Paid dues, I'm a general Gather 'round all of my minions yeah How they be claimin' the city When they wasn't zippin' and pippin Pullin' up Mall of the Memphis Flickin' on Beale before we had Grizzlies Turn your attentions This a King Ish rendition So we sending blessings to the ancestors for they guidance And the wisdom We saying a prayer for the children The lost ones and the innocent See we ain't trying to lead em off a cliff Tell em they can get a scholarship We standin' on business This is an honorable mention I had to play my position I had to make a decision Yeah it get rough in them trenches Mane bruh scuffed up my lenses But I can see clearer now Look at myself in the mirror now This for the shea butter baby She sell hair and real estate baby She don't care it's whatever for them babies But she need a break And a man that's gon' lessen her weight Rub her feet when she had a long day She like he sho know what to say Lion food two on the way On the way On the way (That shit might get too real) Yeah Yeah Yeah, she like he sho know what to say (Standin' on business, this is an honorable mention) (I had, I had to play my position, I had to make a decision) (Yeah, yeah, it gets rough in them trenches) (Mane bruh scuffed up my lenses) (But I can see clearer now) (Look at myself in the mirror now) (Let's see what Walter means) (Oh, means you're the commander of the army)
