[Sample: Marvin Gaye]
I guess I'll have to say
This album is dedicated to you
Although perhaps you may not be too happy
This is what you want
[Intro]
Yeah
Its Rashid Hadee
Its been a long time coming
Its like the second time around
Yeah
Its like the second time around
Check it out
[Verse 1]
I'm tripping off of melatonin
This contact on the mic helps me gain focus
To see clever
Can't recognize the person in the mirror everyday
Hood comes nearer
Spent my years up for what will magically appear
It turned my whole life around
Is it just a dream or is it what it seems
We living for the cream just to make it
So we gotta make it
n***as ain't got no way to earn it so they got to take it
The hunger up inside of me is growing
I'm fiending to taste it
Feeling closer to God in a tight situation now
I gotta get up, get out and get something
Stand face to face with my situation, quit running away
I want to stray from those troubling days
I got to stay on point like the touch of a blade
No matter
See if you gone I'm the one that will stay
I'm representing, resurrecting your name
[Bridge]
Chest One and I'm Rashid Hadee
(?)
Its a whole learning process
You got to stay dedicated to this sh**
[Verse 2]
Hey yo I seen a lot
And uh, did a lot
They say we're destined for d**h before we can even hit the block
So its like a lose-lose situation
Make your lights blackout, like a blew fuse in the basement
I want to leave this generation
'Cause the n***as that controlling it now
Don't have a clue where to take it
This underground sh** to me is straight sacred
That's why I'm walking 'round back and forth in my room pacing
Contemplating, carefully making my moves in this real life chess game
Hey yo I'm sick of the stress, pain, and misery
Only feel some alleviation from this gift that the music give to me
When theme music to my life plays in the symphony
Once you let it in you can never get rid of me
I'm here to stay
Once a n***a push play, I feel the aspects of a legend in my day
Because
What is real you can never take away, never fade away
I save it for a rainy day n***a
[Break]
Yall n***as can't tell me I ain't come a long way
n***a come a long way
n***a built something out of nothing
Straight n***a rigged and sh**
You now
f**ing (?) and sh** man
I was just (?) that sh** up
n***as need to respect up who laid the blueprint to this sh**
Showing yall n***as the f**ing life
I dedicate this to yall
[Outro: Lou Rawls]
I was born in a city the called the 'Windy City'
And they call it the 'Windy City' because of the 'Hawk'. All mighty Hawk
Talking about Mr. Wind kind of mean around winter time
