Chadwick J - Dear Jermaine

Dear Jermaine, in fact I don't know what to call you
For the simple fact that man, dawg, I adore you
Do I call you father, do I call you mentor?
Do I call you pastor? You been instrumental
To me and all them young MC's
Who went out on dreams to try and make CD's yeah
In fact we tryna make a difference
You know it's hard to speak truth and get people to pay attention man
You took me through some hardship
Every hook that you gave me lifted me from darkness
Gifted me the passwords to unlock any room in my mind that was meant for darkness
It was kinda heartless, but I used all these tools in a rhyme sequence to get me started
I was broken-hearted, but you knew all my pain, like a bullet to a target
You're the one that called it, Hit it in the morning
Living life large, pockets thicker than my wallet
This is no rhyme or reason, this is the time for people, to rise up and see this is part of me
Part of me. Part of us. Trust.
We can change the world. Yea, You know we enough fam man
Forget about the sideline. I'm hopping on things, dropping on your timeline
You know how we do it
Yeah, you gonna put us all the map
You're gone but I know you coming back
Promise baby you can put the bank on me
Ain't nobody say what you can't be...
No more yeah
We gotta do something, coz imma be damned if we do nothing yeah
So we appreciate the guidelines, to make a nigga step out beyond the sidelines
What do I mean that it's part of me
Is that I see things that can't be seen
Is that I dream things that can't be dreamed
Like Marther Luther King
So it's up to us, to stand up and go do our thing
It's that I have the vision to see the division of mankind
Like Palestine, people end up crying and wishing
Assigned a mission, I'm not ready to pass the time
The right ambition, you know I'm gonna actually find
The dietitian, I ain't even satisfied
I'm by the kitchen, hoping I could find the signs
It's kinda hidden, I'm lying here, sitting, thinking
Listening to that J Cole, tryna compile my wisdom, yeah man
Reconcile my sins.
Forgive me Lord for all the bad thing that I did
You can have money but no Common sense
Then you have nothing, only got a pile of tens
When we falling off the map but tryna save the world,
With one letter on a pad and sentence of a verse
You be careful when you act. It could take a turn
You could get attacked in a way that could make you learn man
But I'm on to the next thing.
Cole by my side and I'm armed like I'm flexing
Dropping bombs, like I shot at gas tank
Whole of my life I have longed for this, yes man
Yeah, you gonna put us all the map
You're gone but I know you coming back
Promise baby you can put the bank on me
Ain't nobody say what you can't be...
No more yeah
We gotta do something, coz imma be damned if we do nothing yeah
So we appreciate the guidelines, to make a nigga step out beyond the sidelines
Yeah, you gonna put us all the map
You're gone but I know you coming back
Promise baby you can put the bank on me
Ain't nobody say what you can't be...
No more yeah
We gotta do something, coz imma be damned if we do nothing yeah
So we appreciate the guidelines, to make a nigga step out beyond the sidelines
