 Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

The scale of life measure my weight
I finished my plate
So Brother Love gotta eat every day
These kids gotta eat every day
Ain't tryna hear "Daddy short, " can't be
No way
Transition, gettin' taught, gotta listen
Look at him, pushin' a decade in television
Both girls are champions
God gave me the greatest gift
I coulda asked of Him i'm past the norm
Don't compare me to average men
Your passion's gone, I keep diving in
Los Angeles, UC campus
Born was a man who came to paint a canvas
Righteousness, avoid all the iciness
We give you music
So you know why my life exist
Take days, no payoffs, no playoffs
People want somethin' for nothin'
And they way off kept a foot in the game
Upheld the name of Dilated
And a king in his reign, Defari remain
Dedicated

Even when you're wrong-a you're staying you
Be you, now you're going so far

What up, Brother Love? It's family
Put nothin' above
I'm like Scotty G, draped in my scrubs
Relate to Tim Dodgy all in the mix
Dedicated assist
Brown Sugar one of my favorite flicks
It's the just the gist of it, my gesture
You gotta love it break no law or covenant
That's my brother shit
Hands, I'll put hands on you if you standoff
Build and we can get our plans off
The land of the lost
Where everybody think they a boss
Nobody puttin' in the effort it cost
The president gon' get his head blown off
The way that he talk, Run-DMC
The way that I walk
Beyond usual, and never suspect
Top deck rated, you rep
It's like you put a tattoo on your neck
And you throwin' up signs for the set
Unforgettable, Nat King Cole, Natalie Cole
Manute Bol, right on the finger roll
My soul rock shock and F dot
I come through and smother your block
With more izm than the weed spot, akh
You niggas never met Pac
I pop off like butter and scotch

You're staying true even when you're wrong-a
You're staying you
Be you, now you're going so far
You're staying true even when you're wrong-a
You're staying you
Be you, now you're going so far
You're staying true you're staying you
