Gravy

My nana said, «Baby
Treat life like a baby
Cause what good is the rice at the wedding if it ain’t got the gravy
Your soul gotta work for it, wade in the water feels wavy
And of all the things God made you sure wasn’t lazy
Catch a vibe, kick it wit' me check my stride
Respect my mind so much that she don’t let me slide
Step aside for what no wise for the wise
Don’t accept the lies you trust, affected in ya eyes
It be televised, oh the real? You know the deal
In love with the type of drive that’ll test ya motor skills
Feel like it’s hot as Hell but I’m 'bout to go and chill
Get a meal, call the family up, put somethin' on the grill
Can we build? I’ve been thinkin' 'bout some things
Hope rowin' my boat gently down stream
Nope, I couldn’t mope, gettin' to the means
How to keep it real when you tryin' to live the dream
Pull trues since religion on the jeans
Even Powerful before 50 hit the screen
Plus you been my Roc before Jigga had the team
Whatchu mean, what I mean?
Askin' what it all means
Get up, get out your plans I’m planted on my toes
My own two feet say «You a man show you grown»
I hit that beat I feel my nana in my soul
This shit is deep I see her standing at the stove
You feel that heat? Ain’t nothin' random in control
I wade in the water baby
Life is a beach, you ask me well I’m sure (shore) it’s wavy
And when you get the snow don’t forget you know
That whether (weather) it rains or not, boy you set the mold
Let’s grow
Oh world, as long as I keep givin' my love to you
I know that you’ll be giving me your love too
We just can’t keep on doin' the things we do
You know it ain’t true
