The Gift That Keeps On

Yeah, an epic episode so the legend goes
It was foretold that one man would truly rep the throne
So the rebel came to sever the chains
With due respect, they salute to this very day
And he spoke the Gospel and he quoted novels
And the mass only follow 'cause they know they got to
The chosen ones, who chose theyselves
Who know theyselves, higher than most, they hold theyselves
My word is first, my word is Church
Word is bond, and it's brewing if you heard the verse
I played the game, I embraced the pain
I shed blood for my mistakes, you won't disgrace my name
More control, it'll cost your soul
But I'm on it 'cause I want a soul more than dough
If I should die before I wake
Then I pray the Lord let my story play

What? What? We got a baby together
She was in labor forever
How we were staying together
This is the crazy endeavor, time to be making that money
No, I can't behave like a dummy
Who's gonna pay for the Huggies
Keep 'em at bay from the druggies
These rap dudes keep calling but I'm peacing out
'Cause my son's hands are reachin' out
Ain't too much to speak about, I don't care what sneaker's out
And a feature? Man, I'm raisin' and feeding a kid
That won't even sleep in his crib and you want me to... What?
Come on, there'll be a fee for the biz
Ain't nothing easy with this askin' me to do it for the culture
But this ain't the season to give
To you, only if it's coming to me, then it is

Were they saved?
Were you the one who rescued those people, mister?
Doesn't matter really
I'm turning this young lady over to you
And she seems to [?] too
