Control

[00:02.73] When you were growing up, I missed the laughs, I missed the fun
[00:06.36] Every time you left heading to ATL, I felt undone
[00:10.05] Sometimes I wanted to talk, but hustlin' took its toll
[00:15.45] Damn near gave the streets my soul
[00:18.10] I will never be able to replace the time lost
[00:21.76] Bein' a daddy and not a father is a hell of a cost
[00:26.20] A big piece of me is you
[00:29.89] As I reflect the man in the mirror, he gets so clearer
[00:34.46] He wants to pull me in to start over
[00:38.08] Black Ops this is not
[00:39.87] This is something inside deep from your pops
[00:43.52] Shit get better with time
[01:08.83] You ever heard me say one lie in my rhyme?
[01:10.67] Been doing a lot of thinking and a whole lot of praying
[01:12.46] It's my only way to vent, what the hell is you saying?
[01:15.14] Feel like I got a lot of people that's depending on me
[01:16.97] Built a solid foundation, put the building on me
[01:18.71] You remind me of myself so why you tripping on me?
[01:21.47] I remember how it felt when my tank was on E
[01:23.38] I remember how it felt when the money was low
[01:26.06] Dirty dishes in the sink, mouse traps on the floor
[01:27.85] Need to buy a bakery, the way I'm after the dough
[01:29.63] Wonder why the hating me, I just practice and go
[01:32.34] One thing I learned, time don't wait for nobody
[01:34.10] Love the feeling I can finally tell my momma I got it
[01:36.88] Love the feeling I can finally take a look in my wallet
[01:38.64] See some hunnids in that mothafucka, maybe I'm wilding
[01:41.39] Shit get better with time
[02:02.13] I said shit get better with time

[02:06.76] Keep ya head up unc, trust the lord and your faith
[02:07.62] Momma just told me grandma ain't doing too well
[02:08.55] Ever sicne she gave me hope, I've been giving them hell
[02:09.44] Back then with the juice jugs shooting the cans
[02:10.32] Where I come from, from niggas shooting they mans
[02:11.25] Where I come from, nigga, nobody safe
[02:13.90] Where I come from, like no other place
[02:15.70] And I love that I'm just trying to be around where the love at

[02:22.94] Shawty tryna go some rounds, where my gloves at?
[02:25.69] Even though you wasn't around, I can't blame you
[02:27.58] You is who you is, I can never change you
[02:30.27] Life lessons that will show me what the game do

[03:19.39] Fuck that shit, I'm the man on the high
[03:22.09] Last time I checked, the only time I got fooled
[03:23.93] When R Kelly told me he believed he could fly
[03:26.60] I knew how passionate he was (forreal)
[03:29.36] You know, he used to write every day
[03:32.09] He'd go downstairs, stay down there for hours
[03:33.87] That's all my house was, a studio
[03:35.79] When you find the one, that he stays up all night for
[03:37.54] That's the one that you need to get behind and push him
[03:41.10] He's been consistent since day one
[03:46.61]
