Sha Stimuli - Love Yours lyrics

Heard Cole say that being broke is better That's an interesting concept As long as you're not stuck with a large debt I know what he means I remember chasing green in my twenties drinking beer on my moms steps That's where I lived Traveling to jersey on the weekends just working on my craft, we would write and record We were struggling at the time, but it made for pa**ionate rhymes, I was still finding myself getting right with the Lord I would go up to the labels, hoping Lenny S would save me one day, he really listened, said he'd sign me for sure I was focused on getting better, as soon as I got that cheddar I was treating every girl I dealt with just like a who*e I mean as soon as I was hit with that contract my life was different My managers were fighting bout the pie we're splitting I went from really keying on how nice I'm spitting To looking at the charts and finding my position/should have got a job on the day I got a deal See that would have kept me calm, had my ego more concealed Now I'm sitting here reflective, giving thanks for every meal But I got friends whose rapper dreams became real, you know how it feels When you wake up And reminisce, you used to live with your mother Slept in a twin bed, tiniest covers Your job wasn't conventional, y'all beefed with each other Relationship was long distance, couldn't be with your lover You had heat, you had lights, food to eat in the cupboard And doing better than the homeless dudes that sleep in the gutter Adversity hit and you realized you need to get tougher And there's a place of higher consciousness we need to discover If there's an afterlife, after life, the region above us Will tell us money's not the answer to relieve all your suffering But when you... When you're broke it makes your speech start to stutter My closest trip to fatherhood was holding seeds from my brother But now I drive an old school luxury car With a couple of bedrooms, parking deck when I park No I ain't bragging, I'm just looking back at most of my bars I embraced that the times were hard so I know I came really far But I can't help thinking bout the could'ves and the should'ves If I would have stayed in Brooklyn in the hood and been a pusher Dropped singles, stayed single, juggled women like a hooker Would I go to sleep happier then? If I was hollering Murda like Bobby Shmurda or powder like Troy Ave And my show money was popping and all of my boys laugh As we drink in the VIP, on a who*e warpath Would I have a wife and son in my forecast? love yours!.. I mean love yours For real yo I'm talking to me I'm sorry for dropping names I should drop to my knees and pray and give thanks that I have a voice and that I've been on TV See the reason Adam and Eve even starting the eating Of bad fruit it's cause the truth is that it's hard to conceive That they were in paradise for life, they thought that God had deceived them And Satan came in with some hatred and his plot was strategic We all aiming for success and yes we want to achieve it Whether you targeting cheese or you want a college degree Or you got a job to bring in paper that will foster your dream But you still looking at your neighbor's gra** that's forresty green And you never recognize that every day your conscious and breathing, And that your heart is still beating well that's a part of your peace If you keep your focus just like Moses when he parted the sea Or like James Harden for three it's so great falling asleep When you wake up Wake up, please pardon my preaching But y'all don't want to believe it, guess you can call me naive But when you survive through the darkest of seasons, you're not starving you're eating Look around you're in the Garden of Eden Love yours
