Seven Years

First of all thank you baby for having our third seed

But it's scary for me because I'm running low on money

I slave and strive to provide for the five of us

Even if that means you take the car and I ride the bus

You know the deal on this industry

These rappers out here swear up and down that they could beat me

But my crew is my flesh and blood

Not no corny street team running from a fair one

People tell me that deep music's on a comeback

Right now who can compete with all this ice talk and gun crap

I wrestle night and day about decisions I have made

I should have made better choices and avoided shame

But hindsight is a magnifying glass

I can analyze all day but it won't change the past

Even still you support me like a superstar

I sport my wedding band in honor of how real you are

I need to stop advertising you to people though

Cause I see them foul n****** dreaming 'bout you, yo

But when I get my just do, we can make it

Committed for seven years baby and that's my statement

Pharoahe and Common got the light but we in the dark

On how to keep this thing together like I feel we ought

I told DOOM about the baby and he praised the blessing

While others scoff and say "You have two, don't you learn your lesson"

I don't reply or try to say something fly

People wonder why even though it's not their B.I.

It's between me and you in front of everyone

They ones who offer help and the one who offer none.

The ones who give us clothes, the ones who turn their nose

The ones who are in favor, the ones who are opposed

We built this family who cares who tries to change it

Committed for seven years baby and that's my statement
