[Intro] Welcome to The Hunger Inside Never Gets Satisfied [Verse 1] Phone calls from afar, hangouts and all Daddy do these, I done did a 50-50 job Physically I've been detached, divorce took its toll Of course, I wouldn't fold Phone calls from afar, hangouts and all Daddy do these, I done did a 50-50 job Physically I've been detached, divorce took its toll Of course, I wouldn't fold, and none of it was your fault Before I get to things that glow, show the growth, dawg Begin by atoning my sins, young kings I caught You cuz 'cause you royalty, hope you see why I did it this way Live with the dismay, my issues on display, hey Sort of escape the way I was livin' them days Seekin' sunrise and the shade, hopin' one day to be paid In this career you get played But it was escape from the harsh realities Utter bed I made, where I lay, my options weighed "Bye-bye, I wave" type of decision could've been great But enslaved to this rhythm, I couldn't stay Disappear, re-appear, couple jewels in your ear Take it to cut, you here back at it where I belong, distant, but near My imprint persistent, it's instinct I care I was so selfish to barely help with So much my momma dealt with, karma left me so helpless Had to touch the bottom surface to resurface like a diver I was there for dirty diapers and googoo gagas Somewhere I lost survival tactics, steps backwards Can't raise bastards, present in Jamaal's classes My mom mastered, that single mother load carried Your momma did the same, this shame I cannot bury Not to worry, there's a village raisin' princes Jada, she's a princess, unified within this, Jamaal Love your mommy, you know they'll love your pops The princess now your sister, plantin' seeds and breedin' crops [Chorus] We are strong, ready, able Strong, ready, able Strong, ready, able Strong, ready, able [Verse 2] Fool, I'ma feed you food for thought, jewels I'ma feed you jewels the way I carry them like crowns, pops He's a teacher and a student, father and a friend Whatever roleplay, let's share it like gems, emojis and DMs [?] hugs and kisses, shake the atlas Xoxo, live, love, laughter [Outro] Strong, ready, able
