Before We Begin

Lyrics

[Anita Baker] If I could, I'd give you the world Wrap it all around you [Jords] Wrote this in duty free Will you be who you say you are when it's you and me? Rising faster than Uni fees Fuck them rappers but we still need unity Flights delayed and I'm feelin' bummy "Yo Jords You're moving different, you must have money" In the land of the free See a black man with a beard on their flight and they start moving funny Respect our existence or expect resistance Still put my middle fingers up to the system Still call my brothers up to see how they're living Still praying hoping and wishing 23 and I know what I'll do forever Either I do it different or do it better Tryna find the lesson from my antics Tryna find the Method to the madness This verse doesn't need adlibs, like Good journeys and bad trips Yeah , team rocket I'm blasting off again Watching Pokemon us boys will never become men Watching them thinking that we'll never become friends You'll be waiting a long time before my heart goes soft again Mm, Mama said to always be forgiving And I will, but right now it's too soon to forgive them Been easier to talk to women since I started singing You'll never know who I'm missing when I'm missing I heard some rumours oh Lord mama mia Asking when I'll marry Thea nobody's been realer Told them the brothers came a long way From the days when we were letting off some onomatopoeias Boom bye bye, pow pow I want everything right here right now Remember who brings a candle round when your lights out I'm making a note of the things I find out I need some, mm, need some bad karma i just want what I deserve Look, Miss Swarovski's with a diamond in the dirt Heading to Munich airport in an AMG In a G wagon to go from a to b That was all the beginner phase Need to know that we're on a roll not in a race Tryna find a home in a foreign place Heading to Rome for Bolognese I ain't speaking bout King's I got a crown to find Funny how Means To An Ends took me out of mine They all wanna pree you when you go out at night But don't wanna see you when you go out of sight Fair play, If you wanna hear my voice then check your airwaves You can't call my phone cause it's on airplane I'm with good vibes I don't hear what they're saying From I care too much nights too I don't really care days From I won't cut my hair months to trimming down the beard weeks To disappearing when I'm low so I don't appear weak Don't ever pressure me but never fear me Bad energy I don't keep it near me Yeah, very aware but very fatigued Been a minute since I was Young dumb and naive Enemies only check for me when there's a cheque for me Popping up like yo fam remember me Can't hear you I'm on a flight, no you can't fear what you wanna fight Took me half a year to reach higher heights Took a couple shows to see brighter lights Took a couple bros to see I and I Took a couple songs to see the finer things everyone's a badaman Pledging my allegiance to my brothers in the Allianz I still tell bossman to keep the change If you think we the same auf wiedersehn Still talking in lingo, leave the labels in limbo Bring the tables together, I need 3 by the window We're still keeping it simple. if you knew what we've been through Seen my hairline receding I've been finding some wrinkles Got some news for you if you're finding an issue Had a couple blessings had a couple disputes They call your friends to diss you Then text you to say I miss you This verse doesn't need adlibs Good journeys and bad trips, madting [Anita Baker] If I could, I'd give you the world Wrap it all around you Won't be satisfied with just a piece of this heart My angel, oh angel
