yesterday i was sitting recalling reminiscing
trying to remember whenever there was nobody
listening
before the hugging and the kissing, the booing and the
hissing
all i had was just a vision, all i had was my
ambition
your love without condition kept me swinging when i’m
missing
my eyes upon the prize kept me striving for the
mission
when i was down for the count, falling out of
commission
i can hear your voice now screaming out, ‘son listen’
get on up, don't give up, though you struck
opposition
time to buck all that stuff, find out what’s your
condition
like a pull in my soul, like keys in my ignition
call you all my commission, my love and my vision
and…
it doesn't matter if they call me wrong
doesn't matter if they steal my song
doesn't matter if we're all alone
it doesn't matter at all
‘cause i would take a bullet for you
i would take a bullet for you
i would cross any line, i'd swim across the sea
i would take a bullet for you
i would take a bullet for you
i would lose it all, i'd take my fall
to show you it’s for real
remember when we used to flow together back in the
park
you would slang guitar licks under stars in the dark
you'd say let’s grow together as this world falls
apart
i was holding on to hope but hardly holding a spark
all the rhymes that i wrote you'd call dope for the
start
i'd be like a pure note, like a quote on the mark
you'd go to every show and promote from the start
from the beginning we've been building much more that
this art
remember bearing scars in your car to impart your
heart
you cared enough to call my bluff through the junk
from the start
that’s why you’re holding onto half of my heart
you've been there through the times, through the
nights that were dark and…
