Substantial - Always lyrics
[Verse 1] I came into this world Same way I'm gonna leave it... alone. For what its worth Since birth... been bringing folks together for a common cause Not quite a bleeding heart no need to find a gauze Just tried to do what's right ain't gotta supply applause Just trying shed light on what they hide from us all Our origin story, many moments of glory Move forward, ain't gotta be rewarded, the Lord has implored me Give'em what they need when they don't even want it Keep on feedin' souls but they don't see they hungry Live a life worth remembering, the reaper's coming But you'll live forever though you might not reach your twenties Or your thirties, f*** a great depression You are worthy... of every single blessing Honestly, our own light is hard to see But every single star's born to shine. Prophecy! [Hook: Fjer & Substantial] Always… always... Always… always… (I am here) Always… always... Always… always… (I am here) Always… always... Always… always… (I am here) Always… always… Always… (I ain't going nowhere… ever) [Verse 2] When she came into this world I knew I'd never leave her alone because this girl's The greatest thing I created... lyrics, design or painting That ain't up for debating. Look what sun maid and he raising her Right… so God forbid her brother man wrong her She roll with the struggle ‘til she come around stronger But her father taught her to never squander her honor If they don't treat you as good or better than poppa don't bother She see how I treat her mama. And before we shared that wedding cake I swear on my own mama you're the best decision I ever made Look at what we made. On everything, I'm proud of us Best producer duo since The muthaphucin' Stuyvesants Listen… This is parentin' with a vision I swear a bit cuz that's how Ms. Hill got us to listen So pardon me, busy raisin' my colony This home that love built never falls, stands solidly\ [Hook: Fjer & Substantial] Always… always... Always… always… (I am here) Always… always... Always… always… (I am here) Always… always... Always… always… (I am here) Always… always… Always… (I ain't going nowhere… ever) [Bridge] Rain, sleet, hail, snow Will I retreat, hell no Can't stop, must grow Won't drop, never let go Rain, sleet, hail, snow Will I retreat, hell no Can't stop, you must know… I ain't going nowhere… ever [Verse 3] We came into this world With everything we need so we manage what it hurls Always and forever you'll never get us to behave Scared to d**h of kings they'd rather my people be slaves So til hell freezes… I will resist… The call to hang it up as long as I am needed Silence your siren you woke up this giant from sleeping Fightin' like we're Tyson and titan mixed with a phoenix
