Love Supersedes II

Lyrics

Verse 1: Awon I've been doing this since I was eight years old Big Daddy Kane helped me pave my role My uncle Bartese was a Rakim fan My aunty Lashawn loved MC Shan Wrote my first rhymes, went to the jams Introduction to this, I owe it all to my fam My pops loved Too Short all the hard music Moms loved Rock the Bells she nod to it Her abiotic fluid the reason you bob to it Filled with Marvin Gaye and Rick James 03/06/80 the day the script changed 10,000 days later I bring change Different days same struggle, I spit flames Baptized and gain worked hard the game The fact still remains, I was brought to this From raw sewage, to give the world raw music Hook: Awon No matter what love supersedes Love overpowers envy and greed Love my wife, my graph writers and seeds Rock the mics for my real emcees No matter what love supersedes Love overpowers envy and greed Love the DJs who transform tracks Love the b-boys who break they backs Verse 2: Awon A lot has happened in the last couple years I got married 03/29/06 a new daddy Mature more than ever, better conversation Even attended my wife's college graduation But I lost a brother and my grandmother Had a custody battle I gave up cuz I wonder With all the negative energy, diminished me Lately, the Lord been giving me strength spiritually To deal with all the real shit people go through There are things in life you can't smoke through Like finding out your baby can't hear Any of the music you make I shed tears The smile of the child is the real reward Made me appreciate my life even more No matter what love's unconditional Live by the principles, it'll be reciprocal Hook: Awon No matter what love supersedes Love overpowers envy and greed Love my wife, my graph writers and seeds Rock the mics for my real emcees No matter what love supersedes Love overpowers envy and greed Love the DJs who transform tracks Love the b-boys who break they backs Verse 3: Awon As I grow and mature as a man I find that I'm only part of God's plan With a mic in my hand my purpose is more grand It's not to pollute young minds I understand The spotlight it comes with commitment So I pledge that I will rock mics relentless For love, love for the hip hop music in my blood Love for the fans of the flow just because You're nobody to somebody fills you You're just a dead man that somebody kills you The truth I'm just compelled to keep it real with the youth Be young and intelligent I'm living proof So love Lil Wayne and love Soulja Boy Since hip hop evolved I'm overjoyed I'ma keep kicking realness in your ears I'm just happy I got a job this year Yeah Hook: Awon No matter what love supersedes Love overpowers envy and greed Love my wife, my graph writers and seeds Rock the mics for my real emcees No matter what love supersedes Love overpowers envy and greed Love the DJs who transform tracks Love the b-boys who break they backs (x2)
