For You

For you, dedicated and true

I'm doin' this one for you

For you, dedicated and true

I'm doin' this one for you

To my moms and my pops, I'm glad you stayed together

I don't know too many people to demonstrate true love better

Nowadays, kids don't have anyone

But you were there and determined to make me get plenty done

Yes, to achieve, although a lot of times I hurt you

But I'm matured now, I'm showin' you my true virtue

As I deliver to you, an oath of never-ending love

Admiration and respect, for there is nothing above

A mother's strength and a father's concern

There was guidance, no matter which way I turned

Yo pops, if I could be half the man you are, I'd be a star

Moms, thanks for pushin' me real far

As I proceed through the tundra and harsh winds

I think reviewing what you've instilled within

So I'm takin' time out to let you know

Once a boy, now a man, thanks for helpin' me grow

For you, dedicated and true

I'm doin' this one for you

For you, dedicated and true

I'm doin' this one for you

For you, dedicated and true

I'm doin' this one for you

For you, dedicated and true

I'm doin' this one for you

Goin' out to my peoples for all the times we've spent

Fifty deep up in the party, gettin' crazy stupid bent

Around the block puffin' lye, cruisin' in the car

Whatever we was doin', I won't forget it, baby pa

When I had no dough, you were there

You hooked me with some ends to show me that you cared

You stood by me through the ups and downs

While the other fakin' clowns tried to start hangin' around

See, you were always genuine

That's why respect is due and I got you on my mind

A lot of people might not understand the way we click

We're rollin' thick, hittin' harder than a ton of bricks

With all the drama and the phony personas

I'd rather check my man so we can share some knowledge

If the streets were college, some MC's would flunk out

Sendin' shouts to my peeps, crazy love, no doubt

For you, dedicated and true

I'm doin' this one for you

For you, dedicated and true

I'm doin' this one for you

A true friend, kid, is mad, mad rare

Trustin' others is a risk, a lot of things ain't fair

'Cause where I be at, a lot of strange things happen, Jack

You can know a kid for years and still he'll stab you in the back

But that's alright, 'cause I'm a good judge of character

And me and my family, we maintain the balance to

Master the challenges of life

Like the chain and the star, we link up to shine mad bright

To all my boys way across the country

Dealin' with the struggle, the good, the bad, and the ugly

Yo, under pressure, we're the best

No matter what the circumstances, no matter how much stress

Our force has the power to bring forth change

I'd rather see us succeed than feel shame or go insane

Dedicated to my fam that supported

You shall always, I said always be applauded

For you, dedicated and true

I'm doin' this one for you

For you, dedicated and true

I'm doin' this one for you

For you, dedicated and true

I'm doin' this one for you

For you, dedicated and true

This one goes out to you

For you

For you

For you
