Yeah Yo, Anyone who knows me Knows that family is everything to me I've got a tight knit family, I've been blessed Took some doing to get like that though Let me explain Listen, all I ever wanted was to make it I learned that if I wanted something, I would have to take it No mistaking, I done persevered, came to the conclusion If you wanna win in life, you gotta do a lot of losing It's confusing, cuz we all just grinding hoping we prevail Steady praying for a Heaven haven while going through hell If I figured out the main thing, & I could make it stick I would say the ones who made it are the ones who didn't quit See I'm coming from Gardena, yeah I was born on the West L.A. County, Reagan era, if you know You know the rest Grandfather was a hero, Grandma was Queen of the land Got a fire single mother, Mom was doing what she can The Man entered the picture, & there was greatness among us Said he took a new position, we were moving to Columbus And it stunned us, but we rolled with it, Apprehensive? Very Now I got 2 lil brothers, Rod & Londa getting married Guess we doing this See We ain't got it all together But when we're all together You know that we've got it all yeah And no matter the weather We weather through any storm cuz we know the one who holds it all It was His grace that saved me It was this Faith that made me Now we're stronger than before Cuz Love is the core and the reason that I've been redeemed Ohio came with affliction We kinda in poverty, cuz Poppa had an addiction On top of that he hitting on Momma And it was sickening And I'm emasculated, too little to go get with him Years later, & I'm 16, Filling in the gap Well respected, in the Church or when I'm standing in the Trap Picture that Dad battled what he battled but he cared Fact is every time I needed Rod Stevens he was there Now I got a lil Sister and the light was finally seen Pops rolled up on me told me, that he was finna get clean But you know that came with opposition, listen, it's a law Got the call, he in the ER, they snuck him & broke this jaw Major flaw But they ain't consider who they were attacking Momma praying for her Husband, asking God to let him back in to the Kingdom Over time, their marriage mended, & their children just observed We grew tighter as a family, & got grounded in the Word See We ain't got it all together But when we're all together You know that we've got it all yeah And no matter the weather We weather through any storm cuz we know the one who holds it all It was His grace that saved me It was this Faith that made me Now we're stronger than before Cuz Love is the core and the reason that I've been redeemed But We ain't done just yet, there's a Cancer diagnosis And now we staring at Death Pops is telling us he ready, cool, but We ain't there just yet As we gather round his bed, watching him take his Final breath This the story of a fam who went from needing intervention To intention, being honest? this the story of redemption Did I mention, people wrote us off, & thought that we would fall But we made it, cuz when God is for you , He works through it all Before you walk, you gotta crawl, just keep going man See We ain't got it all together But when we're all together You know that we've got it all yeah And no matter the weather We weather through any storm cuz we know the one who holds it all It was His grace that saved me It was this Faith that made me Now we're stronger than before Cuz Love is the core and the reason that I've been redeemed See We ain't got it all together But when we're all together You know that we've got it all yeah And no matter the weather We weather through any storm cuz we know the one who holds it all It was His grace that saved me It was this Faith that made me Now we're stronger than before Cuz Love is the core and the reason that I've been redeemed
